from the story above:
Concerns about protection are also reportedly behind the army's request to seek government permission to cancel the purchase of the Mobile Gun System, a light-armoured vehicle equipped with a tank gun. Military officials refuse to discuss the reasons for that request, but it is believed some senior officers raised concerns that future war zones would require better protection than that offered by the Mobile Gun System.
In addition, the army wants to redirect the money it would have spent on the MGS to more urgently needed equipment such as automatic grenade launchers and missiles designed to destroy bunkers and other fortifications. Such equipment would be of use in Afghanistan and in future overseas missions.
