How long until we see Russians driving this in Ukraine?

Once they run out of tactical golf carts

I think we already saw them run an assault with an armored Ford Model A variant, that they produced under license way, way back when.

I would love a source if this is true. Sounds too good to be.

Then again, Model A under licence would probably be more reliable than any car Russia has managed to put together since.

Edit: This seems to be a source. The video is grainy though, so while it's clear that Russia's equipment is not exactly state of the art it's not confirmed that they still use the GAZ-AA trucks, which is the Russian-produced version of the Ford Model AA (truck version of A).
