Saw this on a blog about the 16th Special Forces Brigade in Russia. It had this image of an armored URAL.

I have wanted an URAL for some time...but, an armored URAL, man, that would be awesome. I found a few nice ones in Europe (England, mainly), but have not wanted to deal with the hassles of getting it shipped to the US.

I dont mean to thread jack, but Bkubu, check out vermont unimog. I "think" its here in the U.S. Its got a camper or some enclosure on the back. It kinda looks like the one pictured.
