BEEFED UP WARRIOR SAVES LIVES UPON AFGHAN ARRIVAL

Newly upgraded warrior vehicles have saved the lives of British soldiers within weeks of arriving in Afghanistan.

Warrior is the only tracked infantry vehicle in theatre and so can get to places that wheeled vehicles cannot, enabling the infantry to engage the enemy more effectively in difficult terrain.

Just a short time after receiving their modified Warrior Infantry Fighting Vehicles, troops from the Mercian regiment on patrol in the Durai East region of Afghanistan’s Helmand Province survived a serious IED blast thanks to the vehicle’s improved protection.
