That's a BTR-60... They go "boom" when hit by IEDs.

Less so than Hummers?

Actually, the in video I saw from Chechnya, the BTRs went up much more than the HMMWVs. If the US used the Russian vehicles, there would be even more losses.

But the HMMWV wsa never meant for this type of service... nothing in anyone's inventory was.
