For those who don't know Saxons are a V-Hull and probably had the strongest mine mitigation design in NATO for a medium vehicle. Like many personnel carriers the rear seats are removable to convert the Saxon into a cargo carrier.
This low/medium intensity design makes it a great vehicle for T2K <snip>
I believe its been converted to more 'modern' uses as well in Ukrainian service, acting as a drone carrier among other things. They're reportedly really popular with the troops, quite the turnaround from their rep in British service!

Default LAV-25 FTW

I've had a thing for the LAV-25 ever since I set eyes on the content of the v1 box set.

THIS has reignited my pre-teen wheeled AFV crush:

I've also grown quite fond of the BTR-80, since one, a former DDR example affectionately called, Der Krokodil, has featured prominently in a long-running campaign in which I play.

IIRC, we had a favorite PC vehicle poll here at one point. I'll post a link here if I can find it.

There seems to be a large difference between the British and the Ukrainians in their use of the AT-105, with the Ukrainians choosing to use the vehicle in manner better suited for which it was designed. That is to say, the AT-105 was meant to be used as a protected transport/cargo/utility vehicle and not as a frontline APC.
I believe the original design intention was for it to be used to transport troops/cargo from the rear to the front - similar to an APC but not the 'same', the AT-105 is more accurately, an armoured GS truck.
