So it is really the IAG Guardian. I would like to know why this is choosen instead of the lipanbara, or even upgraded condors.
I think a poll to name it is in order. I vote for Kijang.
Upgraded Condors would take time to be upgraded and delivered to Lebanon and even upgraded: probably have less mine resistant levels compared to the Guardian.
Looking at the Guardian it’s for certain it has a higher baseline protection level (up to 12.7mm?) than the Condor, even probably upgraded ones. On why the Lipanbara wasn’t selected, who knows? Maybe one reason was that they couldn’t be delivered on time or due to bureaucratic reasons.
What happened to the previous deftech AV4, I know they never received orders for it, but they at least produced a number of them and were tested by the PDRM and the army in 4×4 and 6×6 variants.

It’s stored Deftech the last time I checked
respek la kat bro2 tentera….dah 2017 masih pakai nuri,condor…klu aku,sorri la…
No indication that Lipanbara and Guardian were comparatively evaluated, or that either vehicle has been trialed in similar terrain to Tibnine.
If i am not mistaken, UN will foot some of the bills if the asset is especially purchase for the peacekeeping needs.
Maybe they have some say on decision of Guardian ASV.
If the UN is footing the bill we should buy something better.
The UN will cover deployment bills and allowances to be troops. When it comes to buying gear it really depends on whether it meets the UN’s approval. Quite often the country concerned will pay for it first but will later get reimbursed by the UN. There will be instances when countries decide to buy something needed for the deployment but it does not gain UN approval. As to be expected, the UN is a body with more than its share of bureaucratic red tape.
