The Dartz Kombat T98 SUV from Russia looks like a cross between a Hummer
and a tank, and that connection apparently shows up in the name as well
(T9 tanks). The SUV comes with steel plated doors and 3-inch windows,
and enough armor to keep the passengers protected from attacks, ranging
from bullets from an AK 47 to rocket propelled grenades.
The Dartz T-98 has been noted as one of the fastest multiterrain armored
vehicles in the world, boasting an 8.1-liter engine and made with parts
courtesy of General Motors. The Hummer H1 is often considered to be the
most desirable of the Humvee makes, being the first of the now famous
line introduced by AM General and also valued for its (relatively)
efficient gas mileage. Coincidentally, the Hummer brand is also
associated with GM, which had to part with the line as part of its
bankruptcy settlement. So how much do they have in common versus how
much they don't have in common? Well, I'll let you be the judge, as this
video puts both vehicle types to the test in various environments
including highways, sand dunes, forests, and snow. Enjoy. Or not. It's
no big deal, right?
