🇳🇱 The Netherlands has decided that it will retire its fleet of Kodiak Combat Engineering Vehicles (CEV), as they have been deemed to no longer be suited for the combat engineering task and are plagued with technical problems limiting availability. Initially a midlife update for the vehicles was proposed, but this was deemed to not be worth the effort, and a new CEV is to be procured instead, which is equipped specifically for the obstacle breaching role. https://t.co/iqhpaV14zV

Hmm. Which is it? No other country has announced any issues with this vehicle and no other country has stated its no longer capable of Combat Engineering Tasks. Wonder what the real answer is. I'm betting they'll be missed just like the Marines will miss tanks AND tracks on its amphibious vehicle.
