Lol. I was going to warn you about the music but hey, it can be used to deter all kinds of enemies with a decent hearing or sense of music. About the vehicle, the model in the video came a long way from the basic Saur 1 model which was a low grade Russian inspired vehicle. There seems to be room for upgrades and if the price (not yet available) is right, why not? The Land Forces did not have at the time much confidence in the project and plagued by the incidents happened in Iraq and Afghanistan with our variants of the BTR, they opted to buy some Piranha IIIC. If eventually a purchase of the Saur is made, it would be a great step for the manufacturer, responsible for most of our armored vehicles.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, check this out too: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/84/Zimbru_2000.jpg Too high, too much, dead in the tracks. It was called Zimbru (a Romanian native buffalo) 2000, and it was a BTR-80 variant with a lot of punch.
Hope I'm not getting boring.
