		The South-African built RG-31 'Nyala' is big, high-tech, and according to the soldier in charge of training Canadian troops to use the machine, "virtually indestructible."
		With its high suspension and unique steel, V-shaped hull, the Nyala is designed to navigate through areas with weak or no road infrastructure -- and to withstand a blast that would normally disable a tank.
		Commanders on the ground hope to have the Nyala's in the field by April.

		The first RG-31 Nyala was TFM taking their Mamba 2X4, upgrading it and making it 4X4 with a few other changes.
		The second RG-31 is the one as built by OMC (Reumech/Land Systems/Alvis whatever they are calling themselves these days) and although based on the TFM’s RG-31 Nyala it seems to have been redesigned and is both bigger and heavier.
		So if you are using the first RG-31 Nyala as a reference, then it is the same base vehicle as the Mamba and thus dimensions are the same.

		Designed to survive landmines, the ‘V’-shaped Nyala hull can also deflect IED blasts from below.[1] In exchange for this loan of CF RG-31s, the Dutch military offered the Canadian Forces “routine access” to the Dutch fleet of CH-47D Chinook medium-lift helicopters.

		The Marines recently announced that in 300 attacks since last year, no troops died while riding in the next-gen armored vehicles which, like the Nyala, have bomb-deflecting hulls.
		Of course, the right kind of explosive will destroy even the most heavily-armored vehicle; look at what happened to that British tank last week.
		Mostly likely, ISI's "special explosives" which targeted the Nyala are "explosively-formed projectiles." Those are the "superbombs" which the Pentagon has been claiming are Iranian-made -- but many, including DANGER ROOM's David Hambling, believe are being constructed in Iraq.
