Time to get real about the Force Protection Ocelot. Its not a small vehicle. Its almost 18 feet long. Its almost 8 feet tall. Its narrower than a HUMVEE but only by a few inches....and once the HUMVEEs are RESET and Upgraded they will only gain a capsule and suspension improvements. Meaning that they will be no wider and will probably only match the Ocelot in height. Much as my buddy Think Defence loves the Ocelot, its not the world beater that our friends across the pond might want us to believe.
