kcimb - here's one that's overseas, the price is right but you gotta know an importer to get it here:
BRDM-2 - Armoured Vehicles - Mortarinvestments.eu - Mortar Investments
It's a gore-fest. Make sure you hose the red goop off your trucks after the filming, and if you watch the movie, bring a bag to barf in. Gory movies have that effect on people.
Recon Charlie Alpha - thanks for the input. Some of those milpack radios are very expensive for what you get, and most are not rack mounted. But there are a few good ones in there. The GRC-106 is probably one of the better ones that I would use, for 2-30 MHz TX and RX. However, it's USB and...

Cool video - seems like a nice guy, but I've never met him. However, now that you guys inform us he's not Russian, I always kinda noticed that his "accent" wasn't right. I've dated a few Russian ladies in the past 6 years and I know what a real Russkie accent is, and his just sounded a bit...
