It should be noted that these figures include the procurement of the base vehicle, the integration work required to bring the vehicles up to a UK theatre entry standard and varying levels of initial spares purchases. Some contracts included the purchase of additional items, such as weapons and communication equipment. A number of the vehicle procurements were conducted via the Foreign Military Sales process, with costs calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate paid at the time.
