Why America is Gladly Giving Away their $50 Billion Truck
The start of the MRAPS story begins in a very unlikely place. We can trace its roots back 40 years before their eventual integration in the US Military during the South African Border War between 1966 and 1990. South Africa was fighting against an insurgency that made use of hit and run ambush style attacks using triple stacked old soviet TM-57 mines.

On October 4th 2022 The US government announced 200 MaxxPro MRAP vehicles were being sent to Ukraine as a part of a new $625 million dollar aid package. This armored truck's unique development story takes us through the biggest change in American defense equipment strategy since World War 2. The MRAP has even recently changed the appearance of the civilian police force in the United States.
The US Army estimates it will need to spend millions of dollars to destroy and get rid of 7,400 MRAPs it no longer needs. The services are getting rid of as many MRAPs as possible — even going so far as to shred thousands in Afghanistan instead of sending them home. The military is selling the shredded metal parts to local Afghans for scrap.
The International Journal of Protective Structures studied the effect of the bend radius against shaped V-hulls. They stated that previous versions of the mine resistant vehicles had too steep of an angle which raised the center of gravity and increased the chances of tipping over. So it’s always been a trade off here between drivers stability vs. protection.
