RE: Russian Army Off-Road 4x4s
But I’d imagine the armor on the BRDM-2s isn’t going to provide protection beyond a 7.62mm mg round.

RE: Chinese purchases of Russian kit – not MKKs
afaik, not much in terms of cross-training. There was a border exercise but that involved logistical troops only. I think that there is still distrust between the two countries, even though they have settled previous land disputes.
More training goes on vis russia and india.

That UAZ is manufactured in China as hte BJ-212, although still in widepsread use, will probably be superceded by an indigenous design, similar to the 4×4 fav currently in use with the 15th airborne army.

RE: Russian Army Off-Road 4x4s
Here’s a nice site on the Russian answer to the Hummer.
The GAZ-3937 Vodnik Narrow-cab Utility 4×4; personally, it looks nicer and sleeker than the boxy Hummer.
Hummer:Boxy Volvo as Gaz:Spaceship

RE: Chinese purchases of Russian kit – not MKKs
Army: 125mm gun for Type 96/Type 88Cs
AT-11s for Type 98s
Mi-17s, Mi-17V5s for army
Smerch purchased, then reverse engineered to extend range
to 100km.
That’s about all I can think of for the PLA- they’re largely self sufficient now, less dependent on Russian arms than their brothers in the PLAAF, or PLAN.
Navy: Possibly RIF-M SAM system.
DA/DN-80 turbines from Ukraine
Type 69 twin 30mm guns
Russian torpedoes, Kilo subs
I’d say the heaviest dependence is in the PLAAF.

RE: What is the most risque food you have ever eaten?
Hey, do you European guys get the NBC show, Fear Factor? They have to eat the nastiest foods, which I frankly, would not do for $50,000. Maybe $1 million.
Like the live wriggling horned caterpillars that you feel wriggling in your mouth? Or the reindeer testicles. oi, it sucked just to watch.

RE: war in Irak and the Franco/German resistance
Perhaps b.c of economic interests, and the fact that they don’t want to see a large US influence in the M.E. area.
A neat fact- France sold nuclear technology to both Israel and Iraq.
