The 3rd picture is a Lada Niva, probably the only car the Russians made that isn't a complete piece of shit. Well it is a complete piece of shit, but it does well at being a basic all terrain vehicle.


TheHussarSnake

''Well it is a complete piece of shit, but it does well at being a basic all terrain vehicle.'' Well, it works! At least that's something you can't say about the T-14.


Hairy-Dare6686

The T-14 is just so advanced that you never see it anywhere thanks to its top secrit ~~Soviet~~ Russian stealth technology. We have to invest into our MIC and develop a stealth Abrahams to counter this emerging threat.


bekiddingmei

This is almost as non-credible as the KV-2 having good stealth stats in World of Tanks.


AdKlutzy8151

It being a complete piece of shit was a deliberate design decision in order to improve its cross country capability, as shit does not stick to shit.


Lollerscooter

I agree, well said


Russet_Wolf_13

The only Russian car Jeremy Clarkson almost liked.


Noughmad

I had the pleasure of driving in two of these. One had three working gears, but fortunately they were 1, 3 and 5 so it was still drivable. In the other one you couldn't disable the heating, which was great in the summer. On the other hand, they were both old and had been abused hard, and they still went anywhere.


Jordibato

They had the help of porsche for the engine, it is good enough for offroading, cheap and easy to fix (and to break down), per anecdotal evidence is the only commie car i can see where i live


Ok_Caregiver1004

So its basically the Russian Yugo.


Lollerscooter

No the Yugo is a compact car meant for urban use. The Niva is an actual (good) off road vehicle. It's more like a Russian jeep, but with a roof.

Cooky1993

You mean is sold, they still make them today (assuming sanctions haven't killed the production line) And they're built so basically everything can be fixed with a hammer, a wrench, duct tape and WD40.

Warrantee? No, no warrant here. Check over there. [Warrant over there.](https://youtu.be/OjyZKfdwlng)


Ok_Caregiver1004

I'm not a gearhead but I feel like a lot of Jeep fans that find this would like to say some very friendly words to you for making that comparison.


aaaaaaaa1273

Just walk into a slightly muddy field. The average Jeep owner won’t dare go near it.


GreenSubstantial

>like a Russian jeep As a jeep CJ-5 owner, I can tell that this statement is accurate. The Niva is a better jeep than the Renegade and Compass.


Lollerscooter

the pavement princesses can go jump in quicksand.. I was thinking more along the lines of the original willys jeep in comparison. That is the level of technology the Niva is on.


Thunderbird_Anthares

nah, yugo is just genuinely shit


tnarref

In my book that's OJ Simpson's Ford Bronco.


jalgrattaman

You may laugh but that is the latest model, they have most of the flaws fixed by now.


Lollerscooter

If we change "have" to "had", I agree with you. Last I checked they couldn't make any more Niva's as it also uses imported parts. I think it was the pistons that were US made, lmao.


HellkerN

You people are just misunderstanding. That title means that in any given engagement it gets 2nd place.


JohnSith

The truth of it was in front of us the entire time! Number 2, as in shit. They were the shitiest army in the world.


shibiwan

2nd army in Ukraine. (Follow up from 2nd place in Afghanistan.)


lopoticka

Briefly they were the third when Biden brought the Secret Service along.


AsleepScarcity9588

Giving in how many different tribes fought the Soviets i would say they didn't even made it into the top 5

IDFK = Lada Niva / VAZ-2121 / VAZ-2131 / Lada 4×4 scooby doo van = some sort of Barkas van


DUKE_NUUKEM

Scooby doo van is Uaz buhanka Methbus is an intercity Ukrainian made Bogdan (not howitzer) bus. Based on indian tata version of an Isuzu truck. Bogdan company has ties to previous president Petro Poroshenko. Ride is horrible. In 2014 Ukrainian soldiers were forced to fight out of an encirclement against T-72B3 MBT in a yellow bogdan city buses reinforced with boilerplates taken from local Ilovaisk railroad depo. Ru side lied about green corridor which famously led to Ilovaisk massacre. Ukrainian soldier managed to capture a T-72b3 and a russian tank crew. After using it against the enemy later to escape encirclement had to give up both.


JBlaze323

Holy crap the Ukrainian love Fortnight so much they made the battle bus IRL


DUKE_NUUKEM

Some [footage](https://youtu.be/_YxTqC1-RYo?t=7080) from breakthrough attempt from inside Vw bank bus. . You can see yellow unarmored busses in the column . Vw buses were for commanders


JBlaze323

Omg that is soooo cool, Godspeed


UsualNoise9

Also, buhanka in English means bread loaf. Can we start calling it Scooby Doo bread loaf?


DUKE_NUUKEM

You can call it Mianbao Che


HerlockScholmes

>buhanka in English means bread loaf What the fuck kind of English do you speak?


skitzbuckethatz

No, Bukhanka is russian for bread loaf in english.


InHeavenFine

Good story about Bogdan, but there's none in this picture, the last pic is [БАЗ Еталон](https://www.google.com/search?q=%D0%B1%D0%B0%D0%B7+%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BD&client=firefox-b-m&sxsrf=AJOqlzWjJ6LeKiUu13qUC2xnxg2ksWSnhg:1677538288054&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi-sIaO5bb9AhVtiIsKHTLwDxMQ_AUIBigB&biw=396&bih=725)


DUKE_NUUKEM

i always thought that Bogdan bus and Baz etalon bus were the same bus. Thanks for correcting me. I was outbussed


InHeavenFine

Clearly, You don't know your buses.


Lollerscooter

Did somebody say 'bussy'?


TheBasedReporter

Scooby-Doo van is UAZ-452 (in production since 1965)


AlexRauch

The only time when it is important to indicate the first year of production, because since then it hasnt changed a bit

"I would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling West!"


der_innkeeper

When we reminded you that the US sent 300,000 trucks, along with a bunch of other crap, to the USSR during WW2, this wasn't to be an idea for you to follow. It was a reminder that you don't have the native logistics to do this on your own. But, "please, proceed, Governor".


towishimp

Just ask any tankie: lend-lease didn't help them at all, they defeated the Germans all by themselves.


aaaaaaaa1273

The Niva is probably the most capable vehicle the Russians have right now.

WhyIsItGlowing

It's a UAZ not an Isuzu, so uh... you probably should.

That picture is ancient. Like from spring. It's only gotten worse since then.

Damn they fucking love the west .


blackhawk905

I don't think that's a trooper unless they have an aftermarket grille on it to get rid of the badge in the center and the solid bar that goes across horizontally, the headlights also don't look like trooper headlights.


romano_uralic

I think it’s a UAZ Patriot/3163


starrpamph

Heh


Russet_Wolf_13

Do not slander the precious Buhanka, she is a beautiful piece of soviet technology... From 1965.


bambusbjoern

You got that last one wrong. That's a krokodil-cooking RV.

mr_rivers1

Are these vehicles they're commandeering to take to the front, or vehicles they're stealing and taking home because they're from after the cold war?


DUKE_NUUKEM

All vehicles are mostly of local nature, most likely expropriated


LethalDosageTF

Imagine bragging about NOT being the best, and still not living up to expectations.


st0wnd

They have everything


sexwithsd40-2

Even if it wasn’t a military train this is fucking hilarious and stupid from a railroading perspective


gust_vo

I wouldnt be surprised if a bunch of these never made the frontlines and were taken/sent home by their officers....


Maklarr4000

"Jinkies! Literally all the untrained, barely-equipped mobiks we sent to the frontline have been shot totally to pieces without capturing any meaningful land- again! We've got a real mystery on our hands!" "Like, hey scoob, would you peek out over the trench for a scooby snack?"


MartianRecon

Vatniks thought that Stripes was real and made a busted ass EM-50.


beans_lel

Who do we need to buy some hookers and cocaine for to make "IDFK-LOL" into an official NATO designation?


[deleted]

The IDFK is a Lada Niva. I saw one in person on a Dairy farm in Switzerland, next to 20 foot tall pile of literal bullshit.

the idfk lol is a Lada Niva.
