Pretty sure it's totalled though.

Nah, bit of bondo, bit of wax, oil change and it's good to go

Don't forget some duct tape to re-attach that gas tank cap

Could probably use a paint job to tie it all up and make it pretty

I love the optimism, but even with full coverage, that looks like a good parts truck to me.

More than 1000 have been supplied to Ukraine, they can soak some vehicle losses. That's what they're built for.

Yep. To expand they're built to save fighters' lives. If you had to put a value on it, one veteran Ukrainian is worth far more than this MRAP. And this one saved several.

And not only that: The it says they survived without injuries (though I'm guessing they were at least a little shook up). Give those guys the next vehicle on the line, and I bet they're more than happy to go find the Russians that placed those mines and give them their regards.

The morale boost from having this kind of equipment probably cannot be underestimated
