Caes en un error muy grande al suponer que la linea de ensamblaje del LAV II o LAV 25 esta cerrada por que ahora fabrican el LAV III.Por lo menos hasta el 2011 ya tenia un pedido de arabia saudita de 25 LAV II o LAV 25 que era parte de un pedido aun mas grande:
Saudi Arabia Requests Light Armoured Vehicles from US
14 June 2011
Print Email
The Defense Security Cooperation Agency has notified US Congress of a possible sale of a range of light armoured vehicles (LAV) and associated equipment to Saudi Arabia.
Under the estimated $350m foreign military sale (FMS), Saudi Arabia has requested 25 LAV-25, 24 LAV command and control vehicles, eight LAV Assault Guns, eight LAV anti-tank vehicles, six LAV mortars and 2 LAV recovery vehicles.
The proposed package also includes three LAV personnel carriers, three LAV ammo carriers, a LAV engineer vehicle, two LAV ambulances, AN/VRC 90E and AN/VRC-92E export single channel ground and airborne radio systems (SINCGARS).
The LAVs will be used by the Saudi Arabian National Guard to improve its ability to effectively conduct security and counterterrorism operations.
The potential sale would help the Arab nation to be less dependent on US forces to maintain or restore stability in the Middle East.
ITT Aerospace / Communications, Harris, General Dynamics Land Systems and Raytheon will be the prime contractors.

¿O también crees que a los Arabes les van a vender usado y re acondicionado?
Un LAV III nuevo como los Colombianos vale igual que un LAV II supuestamente recuperado según tu? No tiene el mas mínimo sentido.
Y la torreta de 25mm bushmaster es estándar en los LAV II no como tu " crees" que aparte de ser usado los vamos a armar con un lanza arverjas.
ASLAV design
Based on the LAV-25 platform, the ASLAV is of eight-wheeled configuration, equipped with either four or eight-wheel drive. The versatility is increased by the addition of non-permanent mission role installation kits (MRIKs). This unique Australian alternation will generate several variants from a single hull design.
The primary armament of the ASLAV is a M242 25mm chain gun with thermal imaging sight. An M240 7.62mm machine gun mounted coaxially to the main gun serves as a secondary weapon. There is also a MAG58 7.62mm pintle-mounted machine gun fitted on the vehicle. Ancillary armament includes two 76mm smoke grenade launchers (clusters of four launchers each).
