I wouldnt fancy driving around Hellmand in one much.
^This. for Column inches, it's great fun. Maybe for checkpoints as well for when you need to look tough. But if there is even a remote possibility of anyone shooting back, it's just a big moving olive green drab coffin

There's a big Military parade on in Romania (Bucharest) this Friday. Was probably made for this.
A bit of Romanian publicity for their only car manufacturing company.
Don't laugh at them though, They have a 911 turbo, Lotus Evora, Q7 and numerous other very nice police traffic cars in use. I've see them in action.
Not as backwards as you would like to think.

You are right though, why would you put a machine gun on top of an unarmoured vehicle, if you need to put that sort of firepower down you can assume they are likely going to be firing at you..
I would suggest that it could be a capable military vehicle, but not in a situation where you need a machine gun.
Why would you buy this when you can get a second hand Chieftain for the same money.
However, the gun would weigh it down and affect handling so go for the M135i instead.

I think it's an excellent bit of marketing if that's what it is. If it's a genuine military vehicle then I can't comment really as my experience of military vehicles ends at watching helicopters at Dartmouth Regatta.

The use of converted civilian vehicles is hardly new. Plenty of countries have a much more limited budget for their armed forces. This isn't going to be equiping the British army any time soon, but a third world country that has a use for a lightly armoured scout vehicle on a very tight budget.
