Honestly doesn't look all that bad for a fucking anti tank mine.

This incident marks the first documented instance where a commercial-based armored vehicle has successfully withstood such an attack, highlighting its robust protective capabilities

For those that don't know it's built on a Ford 550 frame.

Aye.

Cars can be replaced. Lives can’t. I guess it also boosts morale seeing equipment that actually works.

Quite impressive for sure! I'm curious to know what's going on in the under body of that thing.

V shaped armour to deflect blast. It's in the article.

I was going to look for a video on the MRAP specifically.
