Supacat MUV: Affordable military vehicle based on Toyota Hilux pick-up truck

The Toyota Hilux has been the platform of choice to make &quot;technicals&quot; with since the 1980s. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Toyota_War" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Toyota_War</a>

There must be some process similar to carcinization that pushes Toyota hyluxes to transform into Technicals over time.

In classic defense contracting style, &quot;low cost&quot; comes without a number.<p>Nice to see more COTS tho. Drone warfare is a really impressive example of what can be done with COTS components.

It’s a nice cosplay truck but it looks like it has no drone protection provisions. Great for the last war.

&gt; Although originally intended for regional markets in the Asia-Pacific region, Supacat noted that the utility vehicle could also find applications in Europe.<p>We wanted make profit on dead people and broken states in the middle east, but considering recent events in Europe, we might have thought too small.

Allahu snackbar, here i come!

On hackernews posting about war machines is not political. Commenting about posting about war machines however is.
