Heres a link to some pictures of the LAV

I read on this thread that Canada exports these to the USA. Assuming they are the same vehicle is there any proof of this... Or is it vice versa with the U.S.A exporting them to Canada.
Thanks

There are the same vehicle, the base chasis and concept was made in Canada. We ship them down to the states, and the the Americans fit them with there own equiptment or create variants of it. This customizes the vehicle to suit the needs of the US. So basicly it get shiped as a Coyote and becomes a Marines LAV. In Canada we have a variant that has the turret of our Leoprard tank on it, man if you can see this thing in action. The concept was created and used by us first, the USA wanted them due to the increase of urban combat. It's harder to drive bulky M1s down alleyways of cities to get too or avoid a target. It also replaces the lightly armored vehicles like the Hummer that can prove dangerous in an urban enviroment.
Canada is loosing it's entire fleet of Leoprard tanks an the are getting replaced by these.
These two site show you that we ship them to the USA.

The US stats are not shown on this link but we did ship a lot of them to the UK.

President Hu Jintao arrived in Moscow yesterday on an official visit, and is expected to join his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, in stating commitment to a new, just and rational world order.
The two leaders, who begin talks today, will also back a bigger role for the United Nations?in world politics, sources at Zhongnanhai and the Kremlin said.
The leaders will exchange views on crucial international issues, with their opinions to be reflected in a Joint Declaration on World Order in the 21st Century, which the two presidents will sign after their talks.
"China is willing to deepen political mutual trust, enhance strategic co-ordination and promote substantial co-operation between the two countries," Hu said yesterday in a written statement released at Beijing Capital International Airport before the start of his four-day visit.

Thanks Putin and Sino for setting up another Cold war woohoo!
The following Arms Race will follow the build up leading to ww1 thats where we are headed, as for leaving the us? Unless you go to SA, CA or Africa it wont matter if it goes Nuke no place is safe. You are underestimating the power of the US to be evil just think about a combo of Indian wars and WW2 then you will get a small idea of how evil the US could be with the gloves off. I was involved with some of the evil that was created in the 50's and 60's of the US and it was only a fraction of the total, scared me after my tour was over.
I personally could careless If china or russia sparked a war vs the united states.

Some wisdom on a messed up thread. Way to go!
All of this talk about Russia and China taking on America is pipe dreams. Even if for some reason the political climate allowed it to happen, neither Russia nor China has the infrastructure yet to carry on as sustained of a war as that would be. Some people are seeing a bunch of political saber-rattling and thinking it means something. It doesn't.
