Uparmored Jeep Rubicon? Nah! too long a wheelbase to be a Rubicon.
What is visible of the dasboard reminds me of a Nissan Patrol Wagon GR one… 
Same for the rear fender…

That’s probably it. they gutted a civilian SUV and added the armor plating over the frame.
The Patrol was there before the notion of SUV even existed…

Didn’t know where else to put this, but looks like the Ukraine is getting M1A1’s instead of A2’s

Interesting, I had heard rumors this might be coming. Now to see which version M1A1 they will be.

M1A1 vs.T-80… not in the Fulda Gap in the late 80’s but on the Ukrainian steppe 35 years later… stranger than fiction to imagine…

and I kept wondering how was I going to get either Academy Abrams version into this.

They could take some of the surplus Marine M1A1 FEPs they have and downgrade the armor; putting new turrets with export armor, maybe?
…and Leopard 2’s 
& Challenger’s to boot…
Guess who isn’t happy and is crying about the UK supplying those DU rounds to the Ukraine…

well it will balance out if China agrees to supply lethal aid to Russia in the same way the west has supplied Ukraine. if that’s the case then this war is going to go on for years.

Possibly. Seems they will giving them Egyptian or Saudi version then old USMC hogs. Have to research if there is any rear deck changes because of the different engine and not 100% sure about the track in the kit for today’s use. Looks like they won’t be delivered til 2024. Lots could change between now and then.

I think they are basically doing that with zero hour hogs. If it is old Marine or Army hogs, it’s the same process for new A2/whatever or exports. They kept reusing old hulls and not making new ones.
