Why is … this … still in production..? I thought they have Tigrs and Volks to replace this…
Why not? For auxiliary units.
This is a reserve unit. They already have trouble producing enough NEW vehicles for the active units.
I see these are modified Toyotas – a fine Russian make!
toyota engine？why not hyundai engine in my opinion hyundai engine is better than toyota .long live korea！
Why not african engine. MBOKOBOKO engine is better than hyundai. Long live lesotho!
Army field repair vehicle with lathe?! What possible repairs under field conditions could be accomplished with a lathe??
You’d be surprised. For a lack of sprockets and driveshafts for BMP’s, we “made” our own using a lathe.
Umm, reverse engineering?
Is the Scorpion British and not American?
I think you are correct, the “Scorpion” is most likely a British vehicle. @Osip: A lathe can be used for parts fabrication and engine repair. It can also be used to custom fit certain parts to particular weapons as well. I imagine a lathe and other associated tools would be VERY handy for disaster relief missions.
Did I actually see a DIAL telephone in the command vehicle?
If it’s being used as a truck, fine! As a trooper’s carrier into the battle field? I’ll rather have one of those tactile truck the guerrilla fighters are using. I mean, the heater is probably useless anyway, and the gun turret and its stand were so ill-conceived. Grown adults will not be easy to get out if the truck should roll over. One battery configuration for russian weather? And please put the engines horizontally instead of straight, it’ll be nice to have something to count on to stop some bullets. Overall, I pledge to have it transfer to the police force. ( without the gun turrets, of course.)
those first 2 trucks seam such a fail to me.. :S some commercial versions are better then that crap… O_o
I really don’t get it.
The Scorpion has UAZ’s body…
