AMGeneral gets another military contract worth $8.6B

When I say it's time was done what I meant was that it could not be developed or expanded any further; the chassis had reached it's peak.

Gets pretty expensive to ship overseas to leave behind for your adversaries.

Possibly the intent all along. Given present circumstances and all.

AM General is still making hummers for the US government and foreign contracts. They are expected to be in use into the 2050s because the JLTV order of about 49,000 isn't supposed to be complete until 2041. They want to keep 50,000 HUMVEEs. So they'll be around for at least 30 years still.

That’s great because I want a HUMVEE with the 6.7L Cummin version later in my life. I don’t know how many were made though.

None for the U.S. That's the SCTV. I believe it's an armor upgrade for a HUMVEE or something like that. They US didn't buy it when they decided to prioritize the JLTV. You'd have to get it from some foreign operator at this point.
