    55hp, 3 speed gearbox, 90km/h top speed and four wheel drive.

    Not bad for a car over 50 years old.

    Lol, holy hell.

      Would you rather be in one of these or one of those Chinese ATVs we’ve seen?

        You know what? I prefer being at home not invading anyone.

        Both the GAZ-69 and the Chinese golf cart will have you killed so it doesn’t really matter which one you chose IMO. Seing the sky a last time in the golf cart?

      Aren’t they already using pack mules for transporting things in some fronts?

            But it that’s what they were for, would they tell us? You didn’t see an assault camel because they don’t exist.

    Reports about two months ago were that they had effectively emptied the enormous Soviet stockpile of usable kit.

    Apparently not lol

      The timeline of the war:

      • Russia will never invade, relax.
      • Oh no, but they will go home once they feel resistance.
      • Their supply lines are a joke, they’ll go home in a week.
      • Their soldiers are surrendering, now they’ll go home for sure!
      • Russia lost all of their tanks, going home is inevitable.
      • Russia has spent all of its artillery, time to go home finally.
      • Hundreds of thousands of Russians are dead, can’t fight a war without soldiers, go home already.
      • Soviet stockpiles are long gone, haha, time to go home.

      And yet here we are.

      It’s time to realise that these reports are full of shit. We can’t make Russia stop this war by laughs and memes.

    Other than indoctrination, what is stopping Russian soldiers from defecting at this point.

      Nothing, there are defectprs but they’re being reported as dead so their families aren’t punished.

    Damn, imagine being a Russian soldier and they tell you to drive into the frontline in one of these. Your legacy will be that you died for the noble cause of clearing space in the warehouse for newer equipment.

    Just complete cuckery.
