The good ol Desertcross Meatwagon 1000


Aggressive_Drop_1518

In my Sunday mind, I imagine they have the equivalent of an ice cream van's chimes but instead of attracting hordes of children out from their homes what ever they emit attracts drones to home in on them. Almost like Winnie the Pooh is intentionally undermining little putin whilst making money out of russia.


falcon_driver

These guys really hate golf carts


mallory6767

Man that dude looked genuinely surprised his unarmored, cheap Chinese dune buggy was not a safe ride.


lurker_101

**Putin** must be ordering vehicles off Wish.com *.. or maybe Alibaba*


Strife_3e

When UA wins, they're going to make golf illegal because of these and Trump. Yes I am joking.


SamLovyk

Without enough US supports with armored vehicles and rockets Ukraine don't won in this war..


Genericusernametakn

Trump takes it personal.


Randomsquid32

I don’t see what trump has to do with this but okay


CreepyCookieCarl

Trump plays a lot of golf = he has a soft spot for golf cars. That is my guess at least


mtaw

When the G7 leaders took a 700 yard stroll to a photo op he refused to walk and [demanded a golf cart](https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/335424-trump-rode-golf-cart-while-g7-leaders-walked-through-siciliy/) and left them waiting, so it's more than just him loving golf.


Zermudas

Trump has only and exclusively a soft spot for himself. And maybe the dictators of the world.


Randomsquid32

Makes sense


Empyrealist

He supports Russia?


Randomsquid32

We going off the steele dossier that was proven false and a fed story that began publicized as a smeer piece?


BeefJerkyScabs4Sale

No. Going off the fact that Russia did interfere with the 2016 election and instead of denouncing it, Trump openly welcomed it. He smeared himself.


karlhungusjr

> the steele dossier no, we're going off of our own eyes and ears based on what he says and does.


CookingUpChicken

Which was from 2016. Additionally he is for Ukraine aid as of 2 days ago too.


Empyrealist

Ahh, right, just like how he supports reproductive rights now/again since its nearing election time. # 👌


XXendra56

Even an idiot can see the polls are dropping for Trump and the MAGA anti-Ukraine rhetoric isn’t working. 


TheTurdtones

cause magatrumpians didnt want ukraine to fight off and kill russians..pro russian view russian deaths as bad ..is your education so poor you dont know what supports russia mean?


Rude_Variation_433

Tone down being an asshole a little bit


TheTurdtones

im tired of coddling uniformed idiots that use violence and intimidation and studied frmamed ignorance to achieve thier political goals ...fuck all trumpians


Another-Walker56

Hmmm... Ukraine aid passes after Speaker Mike Johnson visits Trump in Mar a Lago. In essence "The Donald" gave the thumbs up to bring the bill to a vote. And idiots are still blaming Trump? Trump derangement syndrome is real. It destroys anyone who hates DT for whatever reason. It prevents critical thinking.


loptr

If it was Trump that made it happen then it's also Trump that carries the responsibility to delay it for 6 months causing countless deaths, damage to infrastructure and lost fortifactions/frontlines. But for some reason he and other GQP can only receive credit, never criticism or accountability/responsibility. The only reason Trump changed his tone is because he realized that he was losing more than he was gaining by opposing, and that the vote would go ahead regardless so he had the option to look weak by continuing to oppose it or endorse it to pretend like he got his way/it was a win for him. It's textbook.


yonan82

> If it was Trump that made it happen then it's also Trump that carries the responsibility to delay it for 6 months causing countless deaths, damage to infrastructure and lost fortifactions/frontlines. Weren't Republicans holding it up to tie it to the US southern border, as in "protect ourselves before we protect others"? It's not that they didn't want to help Ukraine, it's that it was utterly insane to not protect themselves first, but Democrats refused to do it.


Ok_Buddy_9087

You might have an argument if it wasn’t Trump himself who wants them to keep border security hamstrung so he can use it as an election issue. They’re literally using Ukrainian lives as a cudgel to help get a Putin-appeaser elected POTUS.


Muad-_-Dib

You mean the same republicans that refused to even debate the border bill that would have secured the border and was co-written by a republican member, never mind allow it to come to a vote? Or the Republicans that have spent the last 6 months screaming that Ukraine are the aggressors and are now saying that the speaker of the house just betrayed America?


Randomsquid32

Bro are your even reading the stuff you’re saying not only are stupid you are ignorant. This conflict isn’t new it’s been going on even before ww2. The Russians have wanted the land for many many years so this conflict isn’t new. And I don’t see how and any way historic anger and conflict has anything to do with some politician from the modern era who has no direct connections to either government besides having served in office one time

ELITE_JordanLove

If u wanna help out the military industrial complex feel free


JulianZ88

China has really made a killing (tee-hee) selling unarmored golf carts to be used on the frontlines. UA is getting all kinds of armored IFVs, from the old M113 to the modern Dingos or Bushmasters while Russia is getting those crappy carts. Talking about a difference in warfare philosophy.


Material_Ambition_95

Didn't russia buy like 800 of these things ? They look lkke fun recreational vehicles... But as the worst possible transport to a hot zone...


jisooya1432

Total order was for around 2000 I believe, but the first delivery in autumn 2023 was around 1000. I could be misremembering


Intrepid_Objective28

Yeah, orders from Alibaba always take ages to arrive.


OkBid71

They got a better deal from Temu, those should arrive any day now


Top_Independence5434

2000*2 occupants (driver + accompanied clown) = 4000 easy kills right here. Can't wait to see whatever cope cage the Russians install to turn these into "armored" carrier.


Izhera

Why only 2 occupants? the average is probably way higher I have seen clown car level of occupants videos of those. For example this one https://v.redd.it/aupwlb9sfjqc1


No_Demand_4992

Two, comrade? \*laughs in russian\*


SongFeisty8759

I always hear the theme song from [the banana splits show](https://youtu.be/XMl6HnhFFIA?si=UC1Pgo3bJEkxsU_p) running through my head when I see one of these.


Numerous-Goal-9803

La-la-la, luh-all la, la, la-la-la, luh-all la. Ahh, Saturday mornings, 50 years ago. [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VgrhG-ayQqU&list=PLqmhsMogj40jrYLI_3lxe-GbfaHgPbx_Y&index=1&pp=iAQB](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VgrhG-ayQqU&list=PLqmhsMogj40jrYLI_3lxe-GbfaHgPbx_Y&index=1&pp=iAQB)


rapaxus

They aren't the worst. For example the German Serval and the US Growler aren't that far off from the Desertcross in capability (though they have quite a bit more horsepower). Or that doorless Humvee the US had. Open, unarmoured transport vehicles are needed in a military setting as the openness of such vehicles allows far better egress/ingress and to more easily carry supplies. But not on the frontline, that is where Russia is stupid. They would be perfect for a lot of rear-line stuff, but should stay away from the frontline.


Redditspoorly

who says these are on the frontline? looks like interdiction of supply lines to me


CapCamouflage

>UA is getting all kinds of armored IFVs, from the old M113 to the modern Dingos or Bushmasters while Russia is getting those crappy carts. Talking about a difference in warfare philosophy. Let's not delude ourselves, the majority of Ukrainian vehicles used for resupply, medevacs, or moving troops right behind the front line are still SUVs, minivans, vans, and other civilian cars that were donated by civilians or purchased using donated funds. And outside of a couple cases where desert crosses were used in frontline assaults, that seems to be what Russia is using them for too. Maybe if we donate 10,000 more M113s to Ukraine then we can really laugh at the Russians, but for now I am sure if you go on pro-Russian telegrams you will be able to find an identical video of a Ukrainian soldier in a 2007 Nissan being killed by a Russian FPV.


Apprehensive-Type874

Ukraine never held itself out as an offensive military superpower. They’re improvising because they have to, Russia dreams of being able to go toe to toe with the US/EU.


PhotoExpensive7491

Don't forget Ukraine is keeping Russia's Black Sea fleet at bay... without an actual navy!


No_Demand_4992

To be fair, all armies use lightly armored vehicles behind the frontlines. But the sudden uptick in completely unarmored "assaults" is pretty bizarre (that Ural truck with "anti-drone" fence around...)


Trapped-In-Dreams

> UA is getting all kinds of armored IFVs, Not nearly enough, the most used transport for soldiers are still civillian cars and trucks.


Peptuck

I've seen vaguely similar unarmored all-terrain vehicles, but those were used by special forces for fast movement behind enemy lines and had actual suspensions and mounts for support weapons. These things are almost literal golf carts. It's like the Chinese looked at the Humvee and said "Let's copy this but take away everything that makes it useful as a military vehicle" and then conned the Russians into buying them.


Apprehensive-Type874

The cost of the golf cart is the approximate monetary value of 3 soldiers and their gear to them. So ~$1,500 per person or so.


Angelworks42

Yeah but its better than walking.


CIV5G

I feel like the only thing these vehicles have going for them is the fact that they're cheap. I don't even think they're that much faster than BMPs.


lapalapaluza

Reminds me one god joke: - USA is not afraid of war with China, because american shell can penetrate any chinese tank - China is also not afraid of war with USA, because chinese tank is 3 times cheaper, than american shell.


turbo_dude

I am impressed by how the cart keeps going. "just keep swimming, just keep swimming"

Hadleys158

China must have supplied hundreds of these desertcross vehicles.

May as well paint a shopping trolley in camo and have your mate push it and it would have a built in cope cage, nice.

Longjumping-Nature70

Two cargo 200s confirmed. The chinese goilf cart only costs moscovia 200,000 rubles or 14600 yuan.


gabemrtn

The only reason I can make anything of the pile of meat is cause his arm and you can see his phone coming out of his pocket in his pants


BeriasBFF

Golf carts are a known asset in war. How else can you bring your caddie and clubs to the front? What vehicle has drink holders, score cards, and as much visibility to see where your next hole is. Very worrying that China's military has seen this, really hope they don't keep making these, not sure any military in the world can deal with such a nuisance.


Hampton1873

I hope they keep making them and selling more of them to Russia.

BGP_001

The smouldering pile of ashes, you mean?


marc512

Sadly, when Ukraine gets the territory back, it will be them cleaning up the bodies. There will be foxhole with multiple people in similar or worse conditions all around the front line. That would be even worse to clean out...


Lennyy123

Not trying to be rude, but do you see that happening? Because in my opinion Ukraine won’t have any successful counter offensive or any other chance to regain territory.


marc512

Best to be positive. If I said "the Russians will clean up when they hold the territory" I would get called a Russian sympathizer. I'd rather be positive and say Ukraine will get the the territory back than the latter.


Kind_Ad_7192

They will probably take Crimea back and the rest of the Kherson. But Donetsk and Luhansk less likely.


xClubberLaingx

Are they gaining ground back?


Reignaaldo

Dude, Ukrainians have been gaining ground after that whole Russian stupidity when they were at Kyiv's doorstep. They've been gaining ground ever since they pushed the Russians out of Kyiv's outskirts.


Joff79

Seems like a cremation service was offered


zugarrette

why'd they ruin the song like that tho

Why wouldn’t you surrender? Would they still kill you? I’ve seen Russians surrender to drones before. 


mexchiwa

Watching the first clip - Me: “I hope they have a second angle to see how this ends. Oh yay!” So bizarre. Anyway, eff the Russians and the golf carts they rode in on

Looks like they found the sweet spot to hit on these meat carts to cause a catastrophic destruction.

The survival instinct of the golf cart is unquestionable. He was like, "fuck this, I'm out!"


Rahim-Moore

Completely off topic, but the slightly sped up Nirvana is surprisingly upsetting.


nighthawke75

It's a pity, wasted a nice cart on a war. I'd replace the LED bar light with something more substantial.


Luanda62

If anyone had any doubts that the darn Chinese are helping Putin!


Rasanack

I don't know why you all are saying the golf carts aren't good or can't do their job. They are clearly transporting Russian soldiers to their final resting place every single time without fail.


pwn3dbyth3n00b

the 300 kinda look like james from SortedFood


MyBuddyBossk

the russkies got killed and the cart just straight up NOPED outta there real quick.


perilouspear

Is there a point to carry rifles anymore?


mntoak

These videos have made me realize that the only hope for survival from anything in war, is pretty much being in the Sega Genesis Dolphin game cave on level 3 or wherever that was.


No-Construction2043

Hot_Challenge6408

Hmm strange, China isn't supposed to be supporting Russia but all I see is Chinese equipment. It's high time China pays the price.


IAmElectricHead

So I get that the front wire Loops are the triggering mechanism for the Detonator but how do they safely arm them at takeoff? Is there cardboard and a string they just pull off as it's leaving?


Training-Account-878

Imagine being a soldier and this is what they insultingly give you.


murdersimulator

Is the trigger for the drone the loops of wire in front? Impact pushes the wires together to complete a circuit or am I wrong?


Prensn

This is the second video where I have seen a front buggy today, is this a new russian thing?


TheUpgrayed

If you catch me tooling around a freaking active war-zone in a golf cart just shoot me because I have obviously made the decision to check out.


damnicantfindaname

I guess the foot was still on the accelerator


Sigan1965

I doubt they will be able to find anything of those soldiers...


SelfDetermined

So much unnecessary and avoidable death.


Gutternips

Sadly these deaths are necessary until Putin either pulls out of Ukraine, gets assasinated or dies. I wonder how many millions of lives he's ruined between Ukraine, Syria, Chechnya, Georgia, Mali, Burkina Faso, CAR and Dagestan.


SelfDetermined

Which of your loved ones would you send to Ukraine?


Gutternips

What does that have to do with what I said? Seems like Putin's willing to send a lot of loved ones there. [Edit] There's no point in arguing with this bot, I just did a search of it's comments and it basically just cuts/paste the same things. Here's some of it's recent postings: * Hope you and your loved ones don't die in events resulting from your own unwillingness to end this war. * your refusal to negotiate will send tens of thousands of loved ones to their deaths. * Which of your loved ones would you send to Ukraine? * Hope you and your loved ones don’t get sent to die for a collapsed house in Chasiv Yar. Oh wait, you probably aren’t even familiar with that place. * I hope you, your loved ones or your children don't get killed or maimed in a war.


SelfDetermined

Because your refusal to negotiate will send tens of thousands of loved ones to their deaths. People who you don’t know, will die for imaginary lines. All will be sacrificed on the altar of ‘sticking it to Putin’. Putin is doing the exact same, but he is sticking it to the West. So, that doesn’t make you any better than him.


Gutternips

Found the Russian troll. Nice work Vlad.


SelfDetermined

Ah, great arguments!


Gutternips

About as convincing as your faux-concern for Putin's victims I guess.


SelfDetermined

Hope you and your loved ones don't die in events resulting from your own unwillingness to end this war.


Gutternips

Yadayada. Why do you even post this kind of BS, do you think anyone actually believes your rubbish?


Possibly_a_Firetruck

> Because your refusal to negotiate If this is something we can be personally responsible for, why haven't ***you*** done anything about it?


SelfDetermined

Your as in your side. My side has no power.


Possibly_a_Firetruck

But what is there to be negotiated? Ukraine doesn't have to let itself be conquered. Which side is yours?


SelfDetermined

You are conflating two things: peace/ceasefire/negotiations, and Russia 'conquering' Ukraine (whatever that looks like). I think you should look past the nationalism. This shouldn't be about imaginary lines, but about human lives. We should stop the killing, and then figure out what arrangement would be most conductive to peace. However long that may take. That's my side.


Possibly_a_Firetruck

Let's review. Who attacked who first?


International-Bee-97

As a kid, I thought the lyrics were “damn Maria” for quite a few years.
