Is it weird that I want an actual military conflict between nations in Africa rather than another civil war or insurrection

Is this not just an ifv at this point? Like an amphibious tracked armoured vehicle with a 23mm auto cannon seems a bit too far from the hilux+machine gun combo

Is the gunner sitting in a turret or is the head out in the open?

Hey silly question, but on these export variants of Chinese armoured vehicles, do they change the little text labels inside from Chinese to English? (I mean lables for stuff like ‘this switch activates the fuel pump)
StukaTR@reddit
standardization and localization is hard. they probably have english variant for exports.

Gonna go out on a limb here and say that military vehicles that were purpose-built for combat being fitted with weapons is a bit of a stretch to call technicals.
Kpmh20011@reddit
true... but they did staple a zu-23 on top of it, and as we all know that's a technical classic.
It's a stretch to be certain, but this is definitely non-standard lol.

Even more classic than a DSHK? 🥲
Kpmh20011@reddit
Not more classic than the DSHK, but a classic nonetheless. DSHK and SPG-9 are both more common than this thing I think.
