NEW U.S. VEHICLES RUSHED TO AFGHANISTAN -- EU News Network

The U.S. military says it is rushing its new M-ATV blast resistant vehicles to Afghanistan to protect its troops from weapons including roadside bombs.

The Pentagon said the vehicle, with a base price of $437,000 and reduced weight of 25,000 pounds, has independent suspension and a better turning radius, CNN reported. The MRAP-All Terrain Vehicle will have more power and give the troops more maneuverability in Afghanistan's difficult terrain and tight spaces, the report said.
