Why it’s cool: Despite weighing a massive 25,000 pounds, the Punisher can reach top speeds of 93 mph. 

This giant, menacing beast built by the Russians was the answer to the humvee. The troop carrier comes with 730 horsepower, with a V8 engine and is capable of resisting 30 calibre, small fires of AK-47. The gull wing style doors provide a clear entry into the formidable carrier. The side-swinging rear doors enable troops to fire from inside the carrier! The odd looking machine is capable of housing 10 personnel and despite its colossal size is a “lightweight” carrier.

Why it’s cool: This real life ”transformer” is capable of surviving an IED attack. It also has a “lego-like”, modular structure that allows re-engineering and interchanging of its components, depending on the vehicle’s role.

The Ocelot is designed as an LPPV (light protected patrol vehicle) and intended to provide protection against fabricated bombs and other explosive devices such as IEDs. The protective pod can house up to 6 personnel and allows active vehicle modification with changeable parts. For example, the Ocelot can be used as a jeep, an ambulance and supply vehicle. It can travel through tricky terrains of jungles, forests and deserts. It’s a true transformer and a fuel efficient one! Oh! If only we could sell car in Dubai for a “softer” version of this truck!
