Germany has ordered another 57 All Protected Carrier Vehicles (known as "Dingos") for use by its peacekeeping forces. These are large four-wheeled APCs with protection from mines. These have GPS navigation, air conditioning and heating, anti-skid brakes, and a remotely-operated weapon which could be a 7.62mm or 12.7mm machinegun.--Stephen V Cole
