Good. Don’t let other militaries maneuver on you. Not sure what that vehicle was but an M2 would shred it.

Hi,

Looks like a GAZ Tigr....
Top speed on that thing is like 82mph or something like that.

Sincerely,
Theis

Light "armored" vehicles are a misnomer... They might be armored to prevent somebody with a 9mm or a claw hammer from doing serious damage to their occupants, but heavier ordnance, like a .50 BMG will have no problem compromising the weak points all over the vehicle. Even close range .308, .45-70, and .44 Mag might inflict some hurt on their weak points. An 800+ foot pound .44 Mag slug might not be able to fully penetrate "bulletproof" glass, but I still would not want to be the unlucky SOB sitting with my head just a few inches from the glass in the driver side when that slug impacts...

Russian armored vehicles are also well known for being instant ready to consume bacon in a can. Just add heat. Chechnya demonstrated this very well...

Oh I know. There’s a reason there are standards for armored vehicles. And I think most people would be shocked to see what can defeat some vehicles. Hell, early armored Humvees sometimes had a bad day with PKMs.

Looked it up. The GAZ is in danger from M993/995 past 500m and 50 at and range. And...M855A1 up close.

He didn't even know there was another vehicle there, or that it was Russian. The driver was just a New England Masshole, driving the way they always do.
