The Ministry of Defence has announced a multimillion-pound contract to buy 51 new light patrol vehicles for soldiers in Afghanistan.

Defence Minister Philip Dunne announced the £46 million deal for the extra Foxhound vehicles during a visit to the British company that makes them.

The Foxhound replaced the Army's Snatch Land Rover, which proved highly vulnerable to roadside bombs used by insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan.
