the greatest threat to soldiers and civilians alike in Iraq is the roadside bomb. well meet the buffalo. a heavily reinforced vehicle deigned to remove and detonate these little threats. it has a 30' extension arm that can examine, with a TV monitor any suspicious roadside junk. a great addition and security device. cudo's to the USA:

I would guess the hard part is finding them.

I would assume most IEDs are found with a boom rather then a Buffalo.

An armored vehicle with a minesweeper. That is a great addition; put me down for two.
