This isn't /pol/ shit ,i hate Russia. I want to know how they are doing as a military vehicle. It seems to me that they are doing just fine, the major issue seems to be quality control and the fact that there aren't enough of them. Otherwise i haven't heard anyone complaining that they don't work.I am sure there will be many Buhanka-Chan memes posted, i'm Officially declaring this thread a 'no bully zone' so we can analyze her performance in a comfortable, safe and objective environment.
>>65390308Any vehicle can be a military vehicle. In fact the K1500 truck is better than a HMMWV in everything.
>>65390308Wish I could buy one of these for cheap
>>65390318>Not K30uber-baka, famalamading-dong
>>65390320Supposedly you can buy one new in Finland for $5000 including shipping and a spare engine, i'm sure the war has changed that price. I wouldn't mind having one, the PTO on the rear axle that can be hooked to a trailer is a huge selling point for me.
>>65390411>Not a 1985 Ford F250>Norktard is a 1985 F250 ownerOpinion discarded.
>>65390411>>65390455>I need a 3/4 or 1 ton tuck to pull a 3000lb trailer.A bunch of LARPers over here. The trailer has brakes too.
>>65390318>Ground clearance is 9" or less >Drive train isn't designed to maximize survival or stress>Slightly less torque>Much less payload capacityRight. Why is it so hard to admit the HMMWV is a military vehicle designed to meet requirements that standard trucks don't need to sweat about. I wouldn't use HMMWV as a truck because at the end of the day it's a modular platform that happens to be a "truck". I get cod kiddies hype up mil shit, but no need to swing so hard the other way you equally look retarded. There's a good non-corrupt, non-political answer for why every serious military uses purpose built military vehicles
>>65390590>Rants about failed 1990s vehicle We are talking about if Buhanka's have proven their value, not HMMWV's. It is worth noting i've spent 8 years driving HMMWVs unlike you.
>>65390603>I drove one for 8 years Can't say I wasted 8 years driving the HMMWV, but flex king. Can't help your unit sucked shit
>>65390615Whoops, forgot the image
>>65390587It's about bed capacity. How else am I going to take your momma to Ponderosa?
>>65390308How big of an engine can you stick in one of them
>>65390603FYI, HMMWVs have been seeing better success in the Ukrainian frontline than they have from the last 20 years of Desert Storm's backlines.Respect the hummer.
>>65390645There may be no replacement for displacement, but hear me out>One for each axle>Turbos
>>65390615>>65390619>Can't help your unit sucked shitMy unit really did suck shit. They were horrible at their jobs and i was assigned to the only one that was slightly competent. I also happened to be the only person who was a school trained NBC (54B) specialist in the entire state. I memorized alot of books that were above my pay grade.I was a E-4 helping a E-6 doing shit we should have had a O-5 handling.
>>65390308I mean if staff cars make sense than a staff van is probably pretty utilitarian.
>>65390645I would assume a stock straight 6 300, they work in almost anything below 3 tons.
>>65390635Everyone knows modern truck drivers don't use the bed at all LARPer. They buy them for the towing capacity yet put Walmart grocery bags on the crew cab sets. In fact My GMT400 Suburban much like others of the same time and place have done more work in gross payload than any Silverado HD on the road. When was the last time you actually saw shit in a 3/4 ton pickup truck bed? That's right road king, keep yourself half a car behind my bumper at the stop light.
>>65390730This spring, loading soil and woodchips for raised bed garden.
>>65390308I want to know how they are doing as a military vehicle.
>>65390730I don't always tow trailers or put shit in the bed, but if I need to pull a trailer or put gas cans or a grease-dripping grill in the bed, I have the option.Fuck smelling old fumes and motor oil in the cab.
>>65390308They're okay for non-frontline logistics roles. The Russians don't have anything good for frontline logistics roles, or in fact frontline roles at all.If you don't want to spend a lot of money then they're an acceptable vehicle to use to shuttle mobiks and ammunition to the front, as long as you accept it likely won't come back.
>>65390820
>BuhankasThey are gigashitboxes from any possible point of view. The historic place in the market post-1991 was being a cheap and primitive 4x4 van for poorfags in bumfuck locations, specifically because the parts for it would cost pennies and it was trivial to service it by yourself because it was a vehicle from 1965 (actually from late 50s lol) which was kept in production with almost no significant updates. It's a badly designed vehicle, made from low quality and unreliable parts, assembled by drunk faggots using worn out equipment and parts. Not even a joke, the press dies are the original soviet ones shot to shit by now and they don't give a fuck, just slowly upping the price year after year because there are no competitors for this shitbox in the market.
>>65390730The bed capacity is all we care about. My previous ride was a 2015 Ford 250 XL Transit and i twice carried 2 tons of coal in palletized bags with it. I especially liked how you could fit a pallet via the side door into it.I drove slowly hauling that.
>>65390308>This isn't /pol/ shit ,i hate Russia.It's sad you have to put disclaimers like this to make a post about something russian that's entirely inoffensive because histrionic posters see ziggers everywhere.
>>65390937Hmm... you sound like a butthurt zigger.
>>65390937I'm just wondering if they have been cost effective, i am obviously not a Russian shill.>>65390940And you are.
>>65390937>histrionic posters see ziggers everywhere.Because it's the truth
>>65390647>FYI, HMMWVs have been seeing better success in the Ukrainian frontline than they have from the last 20 years of Desert Storm's backlines.Respect the hummer.Snice i have a perfect civilian driving record for 51 years and only crashed a HMMWV 2-3x i must disagree.
>norktard was an enlisted NBC autist-cuckThis explains a lot, honestly
>>65390446I keep tabs on these since I want one but the only ones available are the D variants which have the truck bed. Can get one of these for 1500 eur i think
>>65390446>I wouldn't mind having oneSorry, Norktard, but you are retarded
>>65390308>I am sure there will be many Buhanka-Chan memes posted, i'm Officially declaring this thread a 'no bully zone' so we can analyze her performance in a comfortable, safe and objective environment.I'm in the awkward position where I find Buhanka-chan (and her lesser-known big sister, Kamaz-chan) cute as fuck while despising the actual vatniks. Basically, I see them as Scratch and Grounder.
>>65390308It seems like a old and proven design for a spaceous shitbox so it probably does what it was made for well. I seems like its only problem is either being used as an assault vehicle which it isn't armoured for, and that backline losgistics have become a drone hunting ground.
So they work?
>>65390308It's a van. It's just a fucking van. Why did this need its own thread?
>>65391137>It's a van. It's just a fucking van.So just admit that you have never driven a manual drive vehicle in your entire life, that you have never driven a 4x4 and that you don't know what a PTO is.
They are the best. I wish to buy one someday. Best off-road vehicle putting others in its class to shame. It just runs. This one was one of many in Mongolia.
>>65391156What advantage would a Buhanka have over a K-truck?
>>65391150It's still a thin skinned van. A guy with a pistol could wipe one out.
>>65391137>It's RUGGED! It WORKS!! It's RUSSIAN!! It's NOT western zogbot degeneration!! It's BASED & TRAD!That's the traditional slavshit lover excuse. In reality it's a horrible shitbox.
>>65391164>soviet engine>soviet suspension >soviet chassis >soviet drivetrain>soviet materials>soviet ride comfort>soviet interior design>soviet electrics>"Best off-road vehicle in its class">"It just runs"
>>65391164It doesn't "just work" it's a massive shitbox needing constant repair. There's not a billion parts because half of them aren't model to model interchangable.Doors won't fit or vent covers fall off or the radio's been put in sideways. Every category of performance and quality you could have for a vehicle it fails, except it has been known to run sometimes.How is it offroad? Fucking miserable. It's sole advantage is low ground pressure and clearance. Ice and mud absolutely paralyse it.It'd be better to get a horse.
>>65391241>>soviet engine KAISER-WILLY'S>>soviet suspension WILLY'S MB/CJ>>soviet chassis WILLY'S MB/CJ>>soviet drivetrain DANA AXLES, SPICER DIVELINE, WILLY'S TRANNY>>soviet materials (congratulations)>>soviet ride comfort (oh no)>>soviet interior design (where is?)>>soviet electrics (grounded to ass)>>"Best off-road vehicle in its class">>"It just runs"
>>65391150So you admit you've been sucking dog dicks for a living your entire life.
>>65390603>>65390711Why pretend you're Norktard with the trip as your name not the trip?
>>65390308Buh has several advantages over new US Army buggie....like a roof, walls and heater. lol.

It's a van. A Soviet van. You repair it with a sledge hammer and it will kill you if you go over 60kph.

>>65390308they update the engine and it gets descent. drove those in 1500 meter high mountains. >>65390411shit car. >>65390835you are retarded.>>65391164the car is not made for off road long range stuff. It was literally made as a small transporter for 50 km range of Russian Frontier, capable to run on vodka and rubber bands. everything over 200 km distance become an adventure.
>>65391378its not wielder. the car is made out of hardened low quality steel. its the steel which they usually dump away in the western countries. the shit is absolutely nightmare to wield. Originally such steel was invented to be used in "no wielded production" the only thing what was good about was so much shit mixed in that steel either burns or melts away when wielding.
>>65391243>Constant repairSource needed. >OffroadSeemed fine to me. There was plenty of mud. This was not an issue. There were horses though. The fact that they were allowed to live as everything but food was an issue. Do not make me raise my sandal against your Ukrainian ass.>>65391426Long distance is definitely possible. It’s a fantastic vehicle. It just runs bro
>>65391442Finally, a real russian. Tell us, anon. How are you? Is the wildberries and refinery bombing affect your lives or just an ukrainian desperation to defeat russia.
>>65391442>Source needed.Real life and millions of soviet/post-soviet users with experience.
>>65391442>Source neededhttps://www.uazparts.com/pages/uaz-bukhanka-clutch-and-gearbox-problems-a-comprehensive-guideThere you go.Every 100 to 500 kilometres: When overlanding or traversing harsh terrain, owners joke (and seriously advise) performing a visual check on essential fluids, checking under the body for fresh oil leaks, and hand-checking critical nuts and bolts. The harsh vibrations from the road easily loosen hardware.https://www.uazparts.com/pages/periodic-maintenance-for-your-uazSays you need basically an entire rebuild every 10,000km.Facebook groups for the UAZ, for example, points out that even short 100km trips require spare parts and knowledge to repair the damn thing and that's just one group in one country.
>>65391433>wielding Are you talking about welding?
>>65391442>Long distance is definitely possible. True. Was doing about 700-800km/week on very poor dirt roads in that thing>It’s a fantastic vehicle. It's fucking NOT. Noise, vibration, exhaust fumes in ventilation system, gearbox that de-sync every 10 minutes, steering wheel that will lock itself when you hit a big pothole and you need a literal crowbar to unlock it, electric wiring that will short circuit and blown fuses when you try to use wipers while headlights are on, brakes that are working in 2 attempts out of every 5 (in others it either burns or shed brake pads), doors tha can't be locked and will open randomly mid-driving, seats put together from steel bevels with sharp edges that have no cushion whatsoever... and that just a fraction of the list of shit you have to deal with>It just runs broThat's also true. All above can happen and this shit is somehow still able to move from point A to B. And if it don't it can be put into 'working mode' by hitting the random parts of an enigne with a big rock found on the side of the road and by cobbling shit togethers using a piece of rusted wire. Also, you can pour turpentine and nitrobenzene based weed killer to the fuel tank and it somehow will still run on this.TL;DR it's strictly utility vehicle that will work in very shitty conditions and do the work, but it make you fucking suffer and regret your existence in the process t. guy who traveled far and wide and the length and breadth of wilderness of Cabinda in this nefarious creation
>>65391500Don't forget to throw away you legs, legs and back after riding in one, as with most soviet vehicles.
>>65391458Real users use the vehicle. You have nothing.>>65391462This is inherent to operating condition. You’d be foolish not to perform these checks. This applies to all vehicles. >>65391500The examples I have experienced in Mongolia and the Kazakhstan had none of these issues and they were driven off road on average 4-8 hours a day. Surprisingly comfortable vehicle. Perhaps it was the country that kept yours. The ones in Kazakhstan tended to like oil, but this was simply solved by keeping a large oil can nearby.
>>65390308
>>65391600>This is inherent to operating condition. You’d be foolish not to perform these checks. This applies to all vehicles.lmaooooo the copezigger i have a literal rotting shitbox, and it runs without me touching ANYTHING in the engine bay, for thousands of kilometers. last time i had to fix something was the dipstick tube.
>>65390308Buhanka with a capital B
>>65391600>This applies to all vehiclesYou do not need to rebuild you're entire car after 10,000km. You do not need to take spare parts and have repair knowledge for a 100km trip. I'd post the link but apparently Facebook group are 'spam'. So you can google UAZ Facebook Group and read about the shit. It's just a mass produce shitbox so USSR could claim that 80% of the population had a car hah take that capitalism.

>>65390308I too was interested back in 2022 when I first heard of them. After going full autism with googling and lurking owners’ groups I was left unimpressed. Basically>they’re built like shit>the military ones are better but still shit>parts are hit or miss, sometimes they’re good and sometimes they’re junk>advise was to drive the hell out of it so that junk parts fail, replace and hope that new parts are good>rinse and repeat until all build errors have been identified and corrected and all defective parts replaced with good ones>believe the term for this process translated to english was "maturation ">takes about a year>functional vehicle at the end, at least until something breaksI can’t cite any sources 4 years later but I was able to find them by various means. An important thing to remember here is that the Russian idea of reliable is something easily repaired, not something that rarely needs repairing. Since I don’t particularly enjoy repairing vehicles, this is probably not for me.>>65391442I’d imagine that the vehicles you had experience with were properly maintained and been in service long enough to correct any factory defects, but I’m anything but an expert here.
>>65392561I doubt they meet any Western emissions standards.

>>65390308It's the same chassis, engine and transmission as an UAZ-469 which is their existing jeep, only with the body of a van. It's a little bit more awkward off road due to the added weight but on the whole can do most things that an UAZ-469 can since it is an UAZ.Russian civilians use UAZ-452s (the van) alongside 469s when hunting, driving through snow/mud and off-roading all the time. They also interchange most drivetrain parts and the military does have both in inventory along with parts, tools and mechanics who know how to wrench on them. The 452 is certainly less common than the 469, but both are used for various light tasks.>>65390320You can, and they aren't terribly rare or expensive even limiting yourself to 25+ year old examples but good luck. Import costs, shipping and poor availability of spare parts (heck even tires) will make it absolute pain to own in America. The thing is easy to work on, but you'll be working on it a lot because their build/parts quality was terrible. Even for military service. Add to it 25+ years of abuse/neglect and the best you can hope for is a deep money pit of a project that you might get running after a few years of constantly ripping your hair out.The van itself may come cheap but you'll quickly see how expensive a cheap thing can get before it's something you actually want.>>65390820In the current situation, poorly. Not really a fault of the vehicle itself though since it's slow and completely unprotected. For shunting things around a relatively safe area it's as good as anything else, though you'd probably be a lot more comfortable in a Japanese truck.
>>65392939>Add to it 25+ years of abuse/neglectBruh, new ones slowly rust while sitting in indoor dealerships.

>>65391500Reminds me of a lada shitbox i had once. It didn't have sound insulation, it didn't have.... much anything at all besides seats, engine and a steering wheel. But it worked reasonably well, even in the cold of winter.
despite their limitations they are rather kino vans
>>65393887You may as well, since that's what a Loaf is:a cheaper Union of Worker's Council Republics copy of an American design. Just as the ZiS/ZiL-151 copied the Studebaker US6.

It's also incredibly uncomfortable and loud inside while driving. It's the only contender in this 4x4 van niche that I know of, unless you count those even smaller 4x4 Kei-vans.For personal use you are much better off with just a used truck just because you wouldn't feel exhausted after a 30 minute drive and it would actually be reliable.
