Isnt the British Army supposed to be buying a new off roader? It is similar to the US Hummer but it is built by Alvis and possibly armoured

new carriers is due 2012 and the same for the jsf (if the deal goes ahead)!!
We are concerned that the In-Service Date for the JSF has slipped from 2012 to 2014, some two years after the first carrier was originally expected to come into service. It is essential that the In-Service Dates for the CVF and JCA programmes match. If not, the UK could be left with new carriers without new aircraft to operate from them, or new aircraft with no new carriers to operate from
Is that area 51 in the background?

It moderately disturbs me that a country as small as Britain has an army that is so exponentially larger than Canadas, in a land/population-to-army ratio.
