military surplus eh? i have no idea..but they did sell the old landrover to civilian, but i never saw any stripped APC were sold to any civilian before . Other than to museum.
Well the guy down the street has a T-55, this video is taken 5 blocks from house

My friend owns a movie business, 66 vehicles including 2xLeopard C2
With just 1968 Landrover I feel left out. A Simba or Shoreland would be nice.....
Here in Germany a car rental guy has a Condor APC for advertising. I don't know where he has it from, though. Probably a ex-prototype/demonstrator from Rheinmetall.
damn...a T 55! thats a tough competition.Originally Posted by ColinP
A significant number will surely be used for target practice. Don't think theres much left of the 'remains' of the V150 at the range. Demanding a 'new cold hard steel'..... it's cruel I know.
its an honour death....? ....imho they should sell it.A significant number will surely be used for target practice. Don't think theres much left of the 'remains' of the V150 at the range. Demanding a 'new cold hard steel'..... it's cruel I know.
No, it's not honourable, but that's the way things work. You can not keep 600+ vehicles just to "honour" each of them appropriately. A few will go into museums, some will end up as gate guards in the Army camps, maybe one or the other will be sold to a private buyer but the bulk of them will be hard targets on the ranges or go to the scrap yard. The PT-91M crews are thirsting to punch some holes into metal, that's for sure.
Of course there's still the possibility to sell them to some poor 3rd world nation, but I don't think Malaysia will be even trying to do that.

The barbed wire is interesting. To prevent Somalis from climbing on the vehicles?
