Dubai loves SUVs, however, ordinary SUVs are nothing compared to these military vehicles! Even the UAE’s scary fast fleet of police cars is no match for the intimidation level of these 3 military beasts. Take a look!
Marauder
Since its appearance on Top Gear a few years ago, this South African-build military vehicle has been attracting a lot of attention. Weighing a whopping 13000 kg and capable of carrying a crew of ten, the Marauder has a cruising speed of around 100-120 km/h. Thanks to its double-skinned armor, it’s able to withstand blasts from hand grenades, mines, and other small explosives. Watch out for Richard Hammond trying to blow one up to prove that point!
Humvee
One of the most iconic military vehicles ever built, the Humvee is due to retire soon. But guess what? Now you can actually buy your very own ex-military Humvee because several units are up for auction! That’s very tempting, right? You never know when a zombie apocalypse might be headed your way. Or you could always use it for some dune bashing in the UAE.
Zil Punisher
The fastest armored troop carrier in the world certainly lives up to its name because it looks… menacing. Russia’s answer to the US Humvee, the Zil Punisher can hit a top speed of 150km/h despite weighing a hefty 26000-pound. Equipped with a 730 horsepower V8 engine, it’s capable of sustaining damage from small firearms up to 30 calibers (think AK-47). Leave it to the Russians to come up with something like this!
You might not be able to get your hands on such military vehicles unless they are adapted for civilian use but you can always check out other used cars for sale in Dubai, UAE. If you are looking for something imposing, these used SUV’s, wagons, vans and pickups might fit the bill. Happy ‘switching!
