  Yes those Land Rovers are absolutely useless against landmines and similar devices. The death toll mounts in Afghanistan, the Americans are taking more losses there too than they are in Iraq...and on Newsnight the other night it said the current Afghanistan conflict has gone on longer than World War II.
  
  Although to be fair re equipment. This new system employed by the Taliban is a change in tactics. I dont suppose for an economic minute that its possible to have every piece of equipment ready for every type of emergency that crops up. When you are hit by some new tactic, some new device, you then have to catch up and try and equip to deal with it. It takes time, and in the interim troops are vulnerable.
