Meng Model 1:35 - US Cougar 6 x 6 MRAP Vehicle - Plastic model kit #SS-005
The Cougar is a wheeled armoured personnel carrier able to withstand land mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). It also protects both the crew and engine compartment against various attacks (including small arms fire) and overheating in desert environments.
The Cougar was developed in 2004 due to the urgent demand of the US Marine Corps. Based on South African design of the 1970's, the new vehicle featured the latest advancements of the US military including breakthrough technology in mine-protection.
About four thousand of Cougars were issued under the US MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) programme. The carrier is remarkable for its high reliability and safety level resulting in low mortality rate among crew members after IED attacks. The Cougar was widely deployed during the Iraq War and still serves with the armies of the United States, Canada, Poland, Italy and other countries.

Academy 1:35 - M2A2 Bradley Iraq 2003 - Plastic Model Kit #13205
The M2 Bradley is an American infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle family. It is used by US infantry units mainly for transportation and reconnaissance. Highly maneuverable and fast, it is able to protect the crew from small arms fire. Armed with the 25 mm M242 Chain Gun and TOW anti-tank missiles, the M2 Bradley is effective against major threats on battlefield. The vehicle is designed for a three-member crew (a commander, a gunner and a driver) and six soldiers carrying the necessary equipment.
The M2A2 version was issued in 1988. Featuring a better engine (600 hp or 447 kW) and a number of armour improvements, the M2A2 also had the ability to mount explosive reactive armour. The new armour also made the M2A2 amphibious. The turret of the vehicle acquired a semicircular shield which served as additional armour and provided more space for ammo storage.
The M2A2 and other M2 vehicles saw action during the the Gulf War in 1990 and Invasion of Iraq in 2003. In 2007 the production of the M2 Bradley was stopped and it was replaced by MRAPs which proved to be more durable in combat.
