That Osprey is a 100 million plus craft. And it cannot carry 1 Humvee. USMC had a mini jeep designed to fit in the Osprey, named it growler and had hundreds built at exorbitant cost by a company owned by a retired Marine. Check out the ($200,000 - over $1 Million) prices at the link. And this for a vehicle built on WWII jeep frames made smaller. It is about the size of a Suzuki jeep. The worst is after buying all these vehicles and shipping them to the war zones, GSA inspected them and grounded all...declaring them unfit for combat use. en.wikipedia.org
