I believe we are headed for hard times and a SxS (Side by Side UTV) is perhaps one of the most prolific off-road vehicles out there and might just be very useful. They can haul a load, go almost anywhere (you should see the mud buggies and snow machines!), and have been adapted for all kinds of military uses.
Here we see Ukraine adapting them to effectively mount and launch small missiles. These things are no doubt a shoot-n-scoot proposition and are probably very effective at evading return fire.

A mini Halo Warthog.
After, they can hit the links.
Cool,
Been going to price one out soon as they are street legal here in NW Arizona!
What’s the Best Deal ?
Bkmk
Game. Changer!

The Germans have the “Stormtrooper” aim
Reminds me of that old TV show, Rat Patrol.
So that’s what 7+ billion of us taxpayer money will buy. I see they’ll even throw in a cushman motor scooter.
History repeats itself.
Back in the 80s, Chad beat back an invasion by (Soviet-supplied) Libyan armor using Toyota 4x4s equipped with French anti-tank missiles.

Best deal? Anything you can afford, really. They are all very good machines; Can-Am, Polaris, Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, John Deere, etc.
Some a lumbering farm utility, some are high speed, some are rock crawlers, so pick the one that is made for your type of riding.
Polaris Rangers and Polaris MRZR Alphas? Those things aren’t up-armored at all! Do the pandering politician know about this? /s
“Reminds me of that old TV show, Rat Patrol.”
Same here. It was what I was thinking: A Jeep for modern times.
“So that’s what 7+ billion of us taxpayer money will buy. I see they’ll even throw in a cushman motor scooter.”
Wouldn’t it be nice if all got one?
Thanks,
Some trails out here Won’t allow my F250!
Well, I guess we’ll have to send even more money into this money pit and but some uparmor...wait...we’ll just have to make new vehicles type at great expense. Then I’ll want one of those too!
Polaris Rangers are awesome. I would caution…. If you have a glass windshield and shoot a nice rifle at something like a cyote on the passenger side of the vehicle…. While sitting in the vehicle…. Wear hearing protection. Holy cow….. i thought it deafened me permanently.
Trails. Important topic. Trails usually restrict vehicles to 50 inches wide, some less than that. So, if trail riding, you might need to buy a trail edition that is 50 inches or less. Many SxS are much wider than 50 inches. Most manufacturers make trail edition vehicles just for riding trails.
I don’t think that one of those ATGMs would fit on my Yamaha Grizzly 660.
“Wear hearing protection.”
lol. Thanks for that. I can only imagine the sound being captured by the windhields front and rear and echoing loudly!
