Unimog and Pinzgauer replacements on the way

[chasper]

The army has committed to purchasing replacement vehicles from a Spanish supplier, Urovesa and they will start to arrive in 2027. I get the feeling that this is a bit like when we got the Pinzgauers, whilst other forces use them around the world we are getting them when those others are looking to replace those that they have.

I guess since there is no mention of numbers that this will result in a somewhat of a reduction in fleet size.

I'm not sure I know of any Spanish vehicles with a reputation for reliability...

Number of 60 is mentioned right at the top, and in the article.
