While US troops get blown away in antiquated Hummers the MUNGO is
operational with KSK already with no losses.


Armoured Hummers are proof agaist the same things Mungo is - both are
toast to an RPG - did you actually read the quote page?

"Protection level

The MUNGO defeats NATO 7.62x51 standard ammunition, hand grenades and
has an optional protection kit against AP-Mines."

How would this help against a 155mm shell rigged as an IED, or an RPG,
two very common methods of atack in Iraq?
