The Toyota Corolla is also the best selling car in Poland. I would think that low cost of operation is the driving force.

I would like to tap into your collective mind. I’m back home again for yet another tour of defending my fatherland — The Ukraine
I need a vehicle to travel around and near the front lines. Roads here often resemble the worst of the metro Detroit and then some. Often there is no time to slow down much for the potholes — I don’t expect to drive full speed into them, but no tip toeing around them either most of the time. Cars here experience extra heavy duty use
My budget is $10,000 and not more.
what kind of vehicle (year, make, model) comes to your mind to serve in the above environment, that would cost NOT MORE then $10,000 in USA?
Thanks!
*I shall add that my colleagues use even passenger cars in this environment, so it is not like it’s Wrangler-Rubicon-only type of an environment, but it is pretty, pretty bad
Hmm, I believe this guy is an American. Could be wrong.$10k budget and you’ve resorted to an American car forum for suggestions? Where’s the billions going that we’ve given your country? Where do you plan on buying this thing? Does Ukraine have many dealerships or car buying options nowadays?
I figured as he called Ukraine “the Ukraine.”Hmm, I believe this guy is an American. Could be wrong.
Yes, “the” was dropped after the break-up of the Soviet Union, starting in 1989. For a man on the street, this probably became apparent during the Olympic Games of 1994. Ukraine appeared as an independent country with its athletes holding the blue and yellow flag.I figured as he called Ukraine “the Ukraine.”
Ukraine is (was?) a sovereign nation so there’s no need for the word the.
Highly suggest this article to separate movie fiction from how conflicts are fought today. Note that space, drones, etc. are the center of gravity for many tactics and operations today. A fleet of cheap drones can much easier spot a G wagon, Suburban, etc.... over a Toyota Corolla, for numerous reasons.I suspect the consequences of being disabled by a pothole or other obstacle could be somewhat more dire than might befall the average bank robber, but maybe that's my imagination and too many movies talking.
Reliable and under-the-radar might be better descriptors than bulletproof.Depends..... significantly easier to hit an armored Suburban than a Corolla with a RPG, and for more than one reason.
A G-wagon is much easier to spot by a drone and other methods, than a Lada Riva in Armenia or Azerbaijan.
AZJ, you have to change with the times. Armenia went with the legacy description of "bulletproof" and got crushed by a bunch of cheap drones and the like.Reliable and under-the-radar might be better descriptors than bulletproof.
Is this thread legit?
Let’s have him clarify this. Does he plan to fight or not.He didn't ask us how to fight a war, he asked about a car to get around presumably while he isn't waging the war, owing to the disclosure that he had an armored vehicle in the "red zone".
Local knowledge is apt to be key here.
Can you post a few photographs from your last experience in Ukraine?I would like to tap into your collective mind. I’m back home again for yet another tour of defending my fatherland — The Ukraine

Oh I think he plans to fight, just not in the car he’s asked by about. Exactly to what level one can be not fighting is in question though.Let’s have him clarify this. Does he plan to fight or not.
