Iraq Gets Humvees, Mulls Other Purchases
By kris osborn

The Iraqi Army has received several thousand Humvees from the U.S. Army and Air Force, part of an effort to refurbish and transfer 8,500 vehicles by...
What's the greatest threat to MVs in the future? I'm thinking particularly of the the larger ones, since the smaller ones can blend in more with regular vehicles. You can vote for more than one, but I wanted to see what the consensus was...if there is one!
The official Disclaimer - This is...
Here is a video of an M3M machine gun (GAU-21) mounted on a HMMWV from FN Herstal. They use another MV as a target during part of the video...not sure what it is though. This combo has pretty impressive firepower and good mobility. Looks like the unit works well with the HMMWV chassis too. You...
Have you ever seen one of these before? Just thought I'd share this picture. Bet it's an impressive sight in person!

If anyone is interested....I have about 4 gallons of WMO and ATF I'm willing to give to a member. There is only one condition - you've gotta drive an MV to pick it up!
You can drive anything from a Jeep to an M48, I don't care. I don't have much experience with MVs so maybe I can learn a few...
Here we go again, at least they're not M1A2s!! It's amazing how the Super Shermans are still in service around the world.
U.S. to Supply Tanks to Lebanon in Spring 2009
BEIRUT, Dec 19, 2008 - The United States plans to deliver M-50 tanks to Lebanon in spring next year as part of a...
Here is a listing about a rebuilt Deuce: the book says this M35 Mine Protected Vehlcle was developed by AM General, the Jordanian government and a South African company in 1999. It has a Cat 3116 diesel (170 hp) with an auto tranny, bullet proof glass and lots of armor! Weight 8.8 tons, speed...
This pic is from a book I have, the weapon is a laser guided bomb. The Deuce probably survived to be listed on GL as:
"NOT running, buyer load. Buyer must pick up all additional parts that are spread out over a large area. No assistance available".
This is a pretty cool video!! If it wasn't for the lack of diesel sound you'd be fooled by this RC model. Somebody spent a lot of time making it look very real. Everything looks good and it does well "off road" too.!! Enjoy!
Interesting reading about MV events "Up North".

Hey guys, I saw this 10 ton tractor the other day in Cumming GA and took some pics.
It's been sitting there for about a week. The inside is a mess, no passenger seat and junk where it used to be. I'm almost 6 feet tall and I my eyes could only look directly at the headlights...it's big...
Just FYI....if anyone is interested in an M35A1 and CCKW models, here they are.

Amateurs discuss tactics, professionals discuss logistics. A military force can have all of the flashy combat vehicles it wants, but without a solid underpinning of medium and heavy trucks to handle logistics, that combat...
This is from the latest edition of Autoweek magazine. Usually Escape Roads tests are special interest autos, so an MV is rather unusual. Hope yall can read it. Enjoy!
I'd prefer we sell them equipment when we know it won't end up across the border in Iran. I just don't know about selling them F-16s and M1A2s.
Could there be F-16 Fighting Falcons in the future of the Iraqi air force?
The Iraqi government asked the Defense Department on Aug. 27 for...
