The Light Protected Patrol Vehicle
36Comments
Although it has been in the equipment programme for some time the Light Protected Patrol Vehicle (LPPV) has been in the news this week as Gordon Brown chose to announce something that had been announced several times before. Of course this is par for the course for the Labour government, why say something one when one can say it again and again at every opportune moment.
Setting the scene for the announcement were charges of underfunding from the Chilcott Enquiry and sundry ‘ex somethings’ and the Inquest into the deaths of 4 service personnel in Afghanistan, in which the Snatch came in for yet more criticism.
What better time for some good news?
