What is This?

[Another Ahab]

Ran across this by pure accident. One perky little machine, and it swims, but I don't know if it's military.

Anybody know what it is? USSR, you out there?

There was another thread on this video a few months ago, I haven't a clue what the title was. As I recall, it was not military. Cool thing to have though. Not many frozen rivers around here to play on....

Cheers

10-4, thanks.

I figured this was too wild for someone not to have posted it before, but I didn't have a clue how to search it.

Of course, maybe I should have started here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?118345-Search

That thing looks pretty cool - takes a Russian with balls as big as pumpkins to test drive a 4x4 on a thin ice layer like that in the middle of winter. Bet he has lots of axle maintenance to do now!

I'd have to take a second look at the video:

- but the dash on that thing might have been designed with enough room underneath for just that very reason…

ok,ok; now where's that remote?

My translate program says it is a "makeshift jeep". It looks like a bobcat that floats with big tires.

Now why didn't I think of that?

Truth is, because I'm not a Fifth Grader!

Reminds me of a Goat with really big tires.
