Vehicle recommendation for the war zone use

If you're being shot at I read right hand drive vehicles are a go to thing with a mannequin in the left seat.

The farmer said the same thing. That’s why they really liked trucks from England.

I thought men between ages of 18-65 or something like that weren’t allowed to leave Ukraine?

If he is US citizen, they will let him out.

I would suggest something larger like a full size SUV. It's already hard enough to pack equipment and ammo in, now you're adding four men fully equipped.

Also, if you're in a Corolla then you're limited primarily to roads. Roads are watched and targeted. Multiple military aged men in a Corolla going to/from the lines is not inconspicuous.

Something simple and cheap. Mitsu suvs that aren't available in the US, but are available overseas seem to fit that bill.

Stay off the beaten path.

The Hyundai Galloper was a knockoff Mitsubishi SUV for a few years so if you can't find anything better there's always the Korean knockoff.

They used the same engines and everything, just made by Hyundai

Hilux all the way. A million insurgents can't be wrong.

This is why a Corolla is the king of ground transport on the front lines, even the rear areas. A pickup, suburban, g wagon, jeep, etc--- they stick out. A Corolla simply blends in.

Mission first

The Russians Sent A Platoon Of Grenade-Hurling Robotic Mini-Tanks Into Battle. The Ukrainians Blew Up The ‘Bots In The Usual Way: With Drones.

When armed ground robots finally do become standard equipment in Russian regiments, they’ll need defenses against armed aerial robots.

Nissan Altima. The average one on the road looks like it's been through war.

Get yourself Skoda Octavia 4Motion. Every mechanic in Ukraine knows how to fix it. They are excellent in winter, parts available at every local junkyard, they come with all parts assembled, unlike Lada Niva (ask me how I know). Even if you can’t find 4Motion, get just regular FWD. Forget JEEP’s, GX etc. You don’t want to draw attention of local henchmens and most of those vehicles that are sold in rich markets suck in war zones.

Sure, if you want to get blown up by an IED or mine.

OP must be deep into the enemy territory by now with his $10k vehicle since we haven’t heard a peep from him.

This thread is amazing.
