Well I am off to work and a three-day business trip...if it comes off...will check back on this on Wednesday evening if I go. Otherwise, later today.
Have a safe trip.
Check this out, bet you've seen this, a ChiCom knock off of a Humvee.

This part kills me:
"During the 1988 Beijing Defence Exhibition, AM General demonstrated an example of its M998 4x4 high-mobility multirole wheeled vehicle (HMMWV) to the PLA. The vehicle was reportedly left in China after the exhibition closed for further test and evaluation. Since the early 1990s the Chinese petroleum industry and police departments have purchased a small number of civilian HMMWVs through commercial sources. Some of these vehicles are believed to have been used for reverse engineering purpose"
(for reverse engineering purposE!)
This is just a small example. I wonder if Russia would have done so well in WW-II w/o all the jeeps, trucks, etc. we sent 'em
