Libyan Rebels Adapt, Improvise, Overcome



I'd hate to see what the crew drill looks like for this...

DefenseTech reports:
Ok, this is wild. Libyan rebels have taken their Mad Max technical pickup trucks to a new level. The video above show rebels firing what appears to be the turret-mounted 2A28 Grom gun of a Soviet-designed BMP-1 armored personnel carrier from the back of a pickup. Yes, the entire gun turret has been mounted on crude metal supports in the bed of the truck. Note the office swivel chair that has replaced the original gunner’s seat. Also watch the guy standing next to the truck reach inside the turret to fire the gun. Classic.
