Royal Marines with new off road toy
40 Commando Royal Marines (@40commando) Tweeted:
A Coy experiment with our new off-road vehicle.

The DAGOR has been put through its paces on the tough sand dunes of Braunton Burrows: as part of the Future Commando Force experimentation and modernisation.

How's that for a #dailycommute? https://t.co/ll29TUJbUD https://twitter.com/40commando/status/1230182285829459969?s=20

I saw them last night going through Braunton on the way back to Chivenor air base, very impressive! Unfortunately it was dark so only street lit. Thumbs Up 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

There's just one question to be answered:
As previous Defender users, why don't the Royal Marines want the toughest Landrover ever built? Confused

Rolling with laughter

Doh ! Probably because it’s not been fully trialled yet - I’m getting a bit sick of the derogatory comments from certain forum members towards the new Defender - probably due to envy as they will never be able to afford one - get over it and move on 2017 Range Rover L405 Vogue SE V8 Diesel #16

Basically yes, the US spec ops forces have been using a diesel version for a while now. But I think theirs came with the plastic wheels with no air in them. Looked like a posh alloy wheel but was just a honeycomb of plastic and a solid band of rubber for the tyre.
The chassis is completely different to say the sports UTV that I have. Although it looks very similar it is a completely different beast 110 D250 SE HT
