| Russian steals Soviet era APC to shop for booze |
| 2018-01-12 |
| [DailyMail] A Russian man was so desperate for a bottle of wine he hijacked an armoured vehicle and rammed it into a supermarket window. On the way, he lost control and smashed into a Daewoo car in the Arctic city of Murmansk. The man hopped out of the Soviet-era multi-purpose fully amphibious auxiliary armoured tracked vehicle and grabbed the wine from the supermarket shelf. |

| #1 The mounds of fresh chipped ice behind the tracks are interesting. It appears as if the aluminum framed store front actually stopped the vehicle. |
