I think their mostly concerned with IED's. So if it's well protected underneath then they may be ok. But then perhaps the Taliban will change tactics and light up a machine gun position when their traveling. I mean, their not stupid. Their going to expose the weaknesses of the vehicles the troops are using. And if this one has no side armour, then an MG or RPG can do some damage.

I guess this vehicle is mission specific. So it may not be on too many roads with IED's rather going off road in unconventional areas, not in a convoy. So i'm sure they've tailor made it to suit their needs.
