However, I agree with you, the GaZ trucks would last, they are bullet proof.
I'd love one, they never die. Especially the diesels.

X2 on everything you said.

Those helicopters (and jet trainers for that matter) would never be worth anywhere near the cost of maintaining them.
So what would it take to get those trucks over here for our civilian market?
I know the physical mechanics of it. But is there an EPA issue, or no import agreement issue here? They look like something we would love to have some fun with, like Penz and Emogs. I know I’d be interested.
