Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

See the USA and Russia have more in common than they realize.

Russia puts the same on the front of a Lada Niva and send them out to the battlefield.

They also turn APCs, like the M113 Gavin into simulated tanks.

It's just the M113.

Gavin is a made-up designation by one Mike Sparks who earnestly believes that it's the best vehicle ever made and replacing it was a terrible mistake.

If you added wings and bolt on some javelin launchers though you might make Mike proud.

Could be potentially useful as a decoy for avoiding direct hits to the actual cabin too, just spit balling.

I was thinking for more human targeted weapons, though can't imagine the trick would work for long.
