Back in the 90s, these guys used to train in the north cascade mountains all the time. I always felt creepily vunrable without a MANPAD... Still, those guys and the rest of the crazy planes that we used to see from the mountain tops made me feel pretty safe. The Prowlers, Eagles, B-52s and occasional SR-71 sighting…

Well, looking at the doors on this “bad boy” I am having a tough time imagining my 190cm tall body hauling ass out of it with a backpack on. Not a tactical pack, I would probably hang up with a rucksack. This is what the lads at Superbike Magazine used to call “a rock in a sock” back in the 90s. All show and very…

While I am sure the Pentagon is super grateful for all the fantastic advice from armchair quarterbacks with a bit of an idea of how to “hack,” I would guess that they have this pretty well under control. Perception is easily manipulated and I would be utterly shocked if DAESH’s “cyber warriors” are not getting…

Right. So why not use something cheaper? Here the tactical response vans are the typical Mercedes Sprinter-type things with protection for the windows. Easy to get into and out of and, in a riot situation, some of them have a pretty big cargo space. These things are just movie props.

You obviously have never met inventive, western teenagers.

Zil can obviously make trucks. Just not bad-assed trucks.

A troupe of boy scouts could disable one of those things.

With what? 10 liters of gas and a hammer? These things just look the biz. Nothing more.

I think we are also ignoring the part at the end of the video where the guy is obviously saying, “Here, we have been able to strip off the Yamaha logo and put our own.”

They should build as many of these as they can afford. . . PAK-50s also. . . What a joke.

I am going to keep my eyes in the sky for these guys! I miss seeing B-52s

First: I don’t live in America. Second: if I were an American cop having to go into a situation where an individual had a high-powered rifle, then I would want to have an armored vehicle because I am not suicidal. Third (and most importantly for you, kid): I don’t believe you are a putinbot because you don’t seem that…

I was torn between the Hustler II and The Mack Daddy. I am not thinking the Hustler Mack.

The bone carries more than the B-52 by a good margin and hauls balls.

That is such bullshit. Yep, the US should possibly support the EU more. Yep, the EU should support Greece and the other border countries more in taking refugees that the Assad/Putin consortium is pushing North... Ja da, no problem with that logic but the point is that these people are being driven out of their homes…

What does it matter where they come from exactly. The Ruskies would not have had the funds to build those...the DoD is like, “yeah...more...bigger...go...give the lesser stuff to LEOs”

I read the article. Do you just come to comment?

And yet, if your rioters are reasonably intelligent and ballsy and start taking these Mega-ladas out? Then, it looks like the little guy is able to rage against the machine. That is not a risk I would take in Russia because there are some seriously ballsy and, not least, crazy brave people living there.

It has already been pointed out that an RPG would be overkill for this thing. Why waste the round? Burn it and the crew inside, no?

Because the US military has so much dosh that they can pass that shit around like candy? Yep. That seems to be it.
What does the typical Russian sheriff have for SWAT situations?
Just to be clear: I like Ladas as much as the next guy, but I would rather roll against an active shooter in an MRAP.
