55hp, 3 speed gearbox, 90km/h top speed and four wheel drive.
Not bad for a car over 50 years old.
Lol, holy hell.

Probably runs better than what Russia makes these days tbh
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?
Knowing old cars id say one of these, I've seen someone fix a Fiat Polski shifter with plastic bottle.
It's amazing they even work.
I mean, to be fair, a lot of Soviet stuff works poorly longer than most stuff⦠works.
A lot of the old Soviet stuff works poorly with lots of relatively easy repairs, but didn't give a fuck about the health and safety of the people operating them.
In the Soviet Union steel was scarce and humans were plentiful.
I mean, dig on Russian shit, sure... but I drive a 50 year old car and it's not dying anytime soon. Of course, it's German, so there's that.
If you value your life, you shouldn't drive a 50 year old car. They are death traps in accidents.
Just don't have accidents

Same initial thought, but then I considered that I trust a Cold War era jeep thatβs been stored for decades to still work with a bit of quick off-the-shelf maintenance items than I would any Hummer era military vehicles to work after even a short span in storage.
Most ww2 jeeps just need some new tyes, some replacement hoses, oil and a new battery, and they're ready to go.
How long until they bring back horse cavalry? Maybe Horse archers?
Aren't they already using pack mules for transporting things in some fronts?
The US still maintains a supply of pack mules
Yeah, but not for their primary offensive operations.
Certainly not, and not in hardly any terrain other than mountains
Slap an AGL on that bad burro and you got yourself a hay-powered Stryker.
But it that's what they were for, would they tell us? You didn't see an assault camel because they don't exist.

That's what the CIA wants you to think!
think they can afford and train archers on horses.
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.
Officers pointing guns at their back.
Nothing, there are defectprs but they're being reported as dead so their families aren't punished.
@Neverclear @LaFinlandia Blocking units. Repraissels against their family back home. Drugs and Vodka.
barrier troops to prevent desertion, they have used this since ww2.
those are classics, man! now they're all gonna get blown up by drones. what a shame. that truck in the background would make a sweet trail rig. I love those old Soviet era trucks
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.
Aw, I wanted to buy one of these some day. Wont be any left pretty soon.
If you can salvage enough of the blown-up ones, you can make your own.
Kit car GAZ69s to fund raise when?
Can you guys keep one whole for me? They look neet?
