Hold on - how does that deal with tandem-charges? E.g. PG-7VR/RPG-7/RPG-29?
Personally, I want to see if D30 has applicability to vehicular armour.

At one point the Casspir, and a few of its variants were being made in Baghdad, maybe they still are. But that was back in 2006/7

I wonder how long it'll be before we see rappers and the rich driving around in them, just like they did with hummers.
There is a sliding scale of where a vehicle can be:
Manoeuvrability/Visibility/Ease of use -----> Weight/Protection
Chuck in the fact that you now need a more powerful engine to do the same work as weight goes up and that entering/exiting a vehicle designed to resist blasts is not likely to be as convenient as one which isn't.
That thing clocks in at 7 tonnes? The Land Rover Wolf is 1.6 tonnes. You can see it's moved along the scale a fair bit.
Only so far you can armour a patrol vehicle before a tank starts looking preferable and tanks are pretty rubbish patrol vehicles. Awful visibility unless someone's sticking their noggin out the hatch which leaves him with very little protection.
Oh well. Media will now grab an even more armoured vehicle to demand as an upgrade when it turns out the armoured vehicle they banged the soapbox for still gets blown up by an IED the size of an oil drum.

14.5 tonnes and 20.56 to 36 tonnes apiece. Rawr. Can hear the roads cracking already.
Stil the OP was about a patrol vehicle, armoured trucks hardly class as that.
Indeed
There are 2 otehrs in the running aswell.
One a German Company possibly using the Old Adelaide Mitsubitshi plant and Another thing being made in the US which Australia Put in $40 million into a few years back

Great news for the Bendigo economy and if it's as good as the Bushmaster, it'll be a winner.
