Humvees "borrowed" by Russians in the port of Poti
 

These are pictures of famous Humvees from Georgia.
Now guys, check out eBay for a new Humvee offer...:rotfl:

With or without mounted weapons?:hmm:

The Humvee is being replaced because it just can not handle bombs and mines that explode beneath it. Even with heavy armor on the floorboards the occupants do not survive or survive but not in one piece. So, I guess these Humvee's are up for wholesale. The new vehicle being produced has a V bottom that directs the blast away the passenger compartment. If anyone would like to run the mine fields in a Humvee, good luck. The new vehicle is much better in the field for the troops. Long overdue IMO.

Good for them!

What is the replacement? Strykers?

Candidates.

Haben will! Looks like a Batmobil from the 20s! Want one for me and my baby!

Almost outdated material......so tha status quo is maintained.

Russia lagging behind the west in technology. :lol:

American taxpayers, please, immediately send the latest technology to the Georgian army to fight evil Russkies:arrgh!:

Not the Strykers. These are completely new vehicles. I move some of the armor for the hull on my trucks and these are in production.

It is similar to this:

Specifially designed for IED. Apparently works great. The IED was the end for Humvee's. Watch the short video. You will have one hell of a headache after a blast but you will be in one piece.

Ah, the Cougar. I heared the name, but never saw a picture of it, and never knew what it really was. I somehow imagined it to be something like the German "Dingo".

I could press "play video" forever, does nothing!!:-?

That pics sounds more a propaganda to me... :hmm:

It's about time the Russians got a few of our trucks. Our inventory of captured Ruskie equipment is so big we've been having to use them as targets on the range. :up:

Come to think of it.....they must have left some ordnance the last time they visited Afghanistan. :hmm:

Although Rambo sorted a lot of that vehicular congestion IIRC :lol:
