The small South Caucasus nation of Georgia has become a multi-billion dollar hub for the international used car market. The vehicles are mostly sourced from the US, and many appear to be ending up in Russia.

Nothing says superpower like importing other countries’ wrecks.
Then again, it’s this or a Lada.
Nothing says superpower like producing Ladas.
What? I will have you know that they’re the most beautiful cars ever built! And if you add a few finishing touches, you look real tough.
Real tough.
For 5k USD (if google is right), I’d drive it.
It’s 5k for a reason. I wouldn’t want to be in one and involved in a crash.
In town, doing 30-45…I’ll risk it. At highway speeds, probably not.
So where do you fit the machine gun?
In the back seat, of course.
Did no one think to change the suspension out during the modification process?
Talk about a shitty technical.
They did not. They just saw a machine gun and a Lada and decided they knew what to do.
Shitty technicals are a dime a dozen, but this clearly had money, time, and skilled labor, all invested into it.
The gun turret looks decently welded to the body, possibly even the frame.
Replaced the glass on the back windows with metal for extra blast fragment and ricochet shielding. Possibly even additional steel plating for direct small arms fire protection, given how low the suspension is sitting.
Did one of the workers steal the suspension upgrade for himself? Is it designed only to be mobile long enough for it to get into position and lock itself down once the axle snaps?
Or did they blow the entire budget before realizing how fucked they were?
The front grill slides down exposing the guns, James Bond style
I’m putting the percent of factory lada parts in that at 5%.
And yet it’s still really fucking ugly.
