Thread: Russians invade Georgia - in Land Rovers?

I thought it was the Georgians who had the Landies

I saw a much longer TV clip of them and from the flags on the soldiers uniforms, they were in fact Georgian. I believe they were Turkish built Otokar 110's.

It may be blasphemy... but think i'd rather be in the tank if stuck there

Yep, saw that later tonight as well. But (and I hate to say this about my ABC) the first clip shows blokes in Landies while they're yakking on about Russians. No matter, as long as they made the clip exciting I suppose it's all that matters

It's a shame Landies are for fun and should only be used in anger to get past that nasty obsticle.

They are doing what they are designed to do. Pat

Those snorkels look like a sensible design. It looks as if they don't have the changes in cross section and the sharp turns of the commercial ones.

Every time I think about making one of my own I think i will make it that shape.
Surely round tube all the way down and into the air cleaner has to work.

What do you reckon?
