There are companies in the US that can up armor an SUV with armor plates and bullet proof glass and it costs $85,000. The US has a defense budget of over 700 billion dollars a year.

@micaheiber1419 the SUV wasn't facing heavy machine gun fire in the ambush they were facing AK47 and 7.62mm PKM fire. I have also seen a demonstration on YouTube of an up armoured SUV taking multiple hits from a browning 12.7mm and they weren't penetrating. Bottom line they sent US personal on a mission into the worst part of Niger in an SUV that you would use to drive to a shopping mall. The results speak for themselves just look at the footage in the trailer with Dustin Wright laying flat on the seat of the SUV with the bullet coming straight through the window inches above him.

@micaheiber1419 3 of the 4 fatalities were the guys in the SUV at their ambush site there were no heavy machine guns at that ambush site. An up armoured SUV would have got them out of the original ambush site and given them a chance of surviving the mission the way things were they had no chance. The senior leadership sent them up there into the worst part of Niger on a kill or capture mission they didn't even have any .50 machine guns or mk 19 automatic grenade launchers on the trucks. They also had no QRF available and after the mission disaster the senior leadership said they would make armoured vehicles available which was really good of them.
