#1 My idea is to have a air-transportable vehicle and you build the armour out of concrete when you get to the destination.

Should stop IEDs and with a little bit of mixing magic EFPs.

#2 The vehicle weighs 140,000 pounds, more than twice as much as a Bradley and costs 4 times as much. It also weighs more than an M-1 Abrams and carries a 25 mm gun.

Too heavy, too expensive, not enough firepower.
