    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.

    RE: Russian Army Off-Road 4x4s

    That UAZ is manufactured in China as hte BJ-212, although still in widepsread use, will probably be superceded by an indigenous design, similar to the 4×4 fav currently in use with the 15th airborne army.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

    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.
