Presenting ISIS-Beating "Mad Max" Battle Tanks And Buses
When it comes to fighting the barbaric beheaders formerly known as ISIS, Kurdish fighters appear to have gone to the 1979 movie "Mad Max" for inspiration. As The Daily Mail notes, while significantly outgunned by Islamic State, the Kurds have created a fleet of well-armored, elaborately-designed, ominous-looking battle-buses by converting tractors and trucks into tanks...
Spot The Difference...
1979 Movie Mad Max...
And 2014 Kurdish Fighters...
* * *
So to sum up - ISIS (the enemy) is using the latest and greatest US military equipment that it either stole from (or was given) Iraqi military and the Kurdish Peshmurga (our allies) are using tractors and trucks cobbled together with steel plates, duct tape, and surreal images.

Man the paint job on those things look like very amateurish, if not childish.
People of Arrakis.
Got spice?
OK, all that stuff is cooler than the Mad Max-style car I finished building a few months ago for myself.
But... do they have a blower on the engine like me and Max have? I think not.
I'm telling you, this car WILL come in handy someday.
You want Mad Max?
Here's some Mad Max...
Dammit!
http://prepex.com/videos/
The one with the cat on the front looks like a fireworks stand.
Not bad if you want to be going real slow in something that could barely stop a 5.56 or an antipersonnel mine. Otherwise, you couldn't pay me enough to get in one.
I think I like the kurds. Why don't they immigrate here instead of ... well, others.
A fleet of '58 Roadmasters would kick some serious ass over there.
What is this - 'Star Wars' fuck?
.
Is that one vehicle a Sandcrawler? Where are the Jawa's...
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sandcrawler
I dont know...maybe im too baked...but those pics are fuckin lolz.
.
Fuck those pieces of metal shit...but, when shit hits the fan, i guess i would be driving that fuckin mofo too if nothing else was available...
My hats are off to the Kurds. Those poor people have been taking it in the ass since for forever and a day. At least they're willing to make a stand.
Is that Bread Head in the background?
The Kurds can dish it out as well...Saladin was a Kurd...Hasan i Sabbah was a Kurd....
Nothing that looks like the car used for the float in animal house. The one with the teeth?
This one: http://www.examiner.com/article/national-lampoon-s-animal-house-deathmob...
Would scare the shit out of ISIS.
Agreed, i posted elsewhere we could give their refugees Detroit, and I bet they would turn the city around in no time.
Mmm, no thanks, I'll take my chances on foot. 3000 degree molten steel spray inside one of those steel coffins, no reactive armor? Swiss cheese.
yeah i'm like, 'from the looks of it, those are kind of neat, until... they start taking fire'. at least it shows some initiative/creativity.
They need more of those weird g*y Aussies in leathers like Mad Max.
I think the Kurds are just serfs for Isray-hell.
Wait! I thought ISIS was a Mossad creation!
Well, a house divided against itself cannot stand.
Damnit knuckles, where tf did you find that!
I made it to 56 seconds, and got the fuck out.
I think an ISIS beheading would be easier to watch.
3 seconds and out for me.
Yea, I didn't make it to the nut of the story either.
I knew that'd fry a circuit or two.
If you can't handle watching a circumcision, what can you handle? Puppies on Facebook? Now THAT shit fries the brains of at least two generations of Western plebians.
I found the entire video fascinating, but why exactly is circumcision supposed to prevent HIV spread?
apparently, there's something about 'smeg' which easily passes 'hiv'.
Great idea! Just reading this I was thinking the same thing. See if I can convert the old Durango into a real fighting machine or at the least, a good offensive weapon. As you state, could come in very handy in the near future
Here's the American version.

Good luck when there's no gasoline to be had at any price.
You'd be better off with a horse.
JB: I was about to ask - do they run on petrol or pig shit?
And to the other commenter: Actually, I was impressed with the paint jobs. I was expecting much worse. It looks like they put in some effort.
"Good luck when there's no gasoline to be had at any price.

Don't forget 'The War Wagon':

I often try to imagine peak hour traffic on the freeway if it was all horses instead of cars. Whew!
thin line between entertainment and war, the front line is everywhere, there will be no shelter here

We have worm sign...
did you notice how calm certain of those people were?
I forget, is Barry Shiite or Sunni?
Are the Kurds Sunni or Shiite?
Hmmm..
Just wait until you see Americans making "tanks" out of their D8 CAT dozers.
how to rice out a tank lol love it.

Wow, sweet.
I'd like do go into battle with a long reach excavator.
In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team.
If you somehow have a really serious "I need mercenaries" type problem in the LA area, and you can find the A Team but somehow the government can't, then heaven help you, the A Team and the government.
I know, I know, it's just make-believe.
Barry is infinitely worse than a Shiite or Sunni. He's a "Black Liberation Christian"
And the RevRight lives in a gated "community".
Who's kiddin' who. They don't have a chance in hell without Flounder's Lincoln Continental in the mix.
"It's time to cut the cake."
And the RevRight lives in a ga-e- community.
Fixed it fer ya.
Plus one but there is nothing "Christian" about Black Liberation Theology.
Jesus paid no attention to a persons skin color, he recognized a persons soul and the good and evil existing in the world that influence people. James Cone and Rev.Wright and Obama etal should be cognizant of the fact that more than enough Christians of all colors (and atheists for that matter) know what they promote is ultimately racist & evil.
+10
He's an affirmative action mistake, that's taking up too much space and using too much air.
Some of these will have traction, some won't.
are these vehicles for the upcoming zombie apocalypse or for the shooting of the remake of the "damn of the dead"?
...yes, ship them all blue day glo contact lenses! I can see this ISIS show pushing over Pawn Stars and Storage Wars with "ISIS Mad Max vehicles, this week's entry...."
Too bad that it is US taxpayer money propping up ISIS. A Langely op. This is all what goes down when an empire convulses into collapse. I bet the story boards sketching these vehicles is on some fucktards desk, 4th floor.
Yep and those clowns cannot be defeated quickly by a well armed Iraqi army with high tec western equipment? Makes you think who is lying here.
Any army that Amerika's military is supposedly helping and training is always sabotaged. The USSA does not want a strong and effect Iraqi or Afghani Army because they would throw Amerika out.
As far as these Kurds or other welding metal on to tanks bulldozers.
I followed a lot of the Ukraine battles. Novorussia was using Grad MLRS which uses this diabolical sort of smart cluster muitions. Any tanks, BMP, APCs that the Ukrainians had were easily destroyed.
Note to any Amerikan with a kid - keep em put of the military because of these types of weapons, gangs in the USSA military, illegals and criminals they now recruit.
It's rumored that Biden had a hand in the design.
COME ON DOWN TO BAGHDAD BOB'S AUTOBODY! WE CAN REPAINT THAT SCHOOLBUS BLOOD RED AND ADD BODY ARMOR FOR CHEAPER THAN ANYONE IN THE TIGRIS VALLEY!
COME ON DOWN!!!!!!!!
Good credit, bad credit, no credit, get that paint job that you deserve....come on down to Baghdad's finest.

Free RPG when you get 3 make believe tanks painted !!!
But wait... there's more!
UK Daily Mail, in the pro-war propaganda business since before WWI.
You've gotta point there, alright.
You mean like Earl Scheibhammed's?
I'll camo any tank for 99.95!
[said in German accent] Forget Bagdad Bob and his pumped up Iroq deals.
Hamburg Dieter says: "If you are a Chosen and Exceptional Client, you may have heard that we can get you German subs for FREE.
Now we are pleased to announce that we can also get APCs for free. Heck, I can probably even talk Wegmann in Kassel to throw in a Leopard tank for free."
"Just tell them you're Mr. Maz L. Tov, and that Bibi sent you."
probably after all those ricki ticki stickies he had all over his walls in Jr High school.
Stick out like a sore thumb, camo LOL!
Sadly, all the good nose-art fellows are either in their 80s/90s or dead.
and some of the really good art, well, it would arouse almost everyone, but it would be considered anathema to the prigs. - Ned
If you are looking for nose art (not the Michael Jackson kind), let me know.
As a former sign painter and airbrush artist (computers pretty much killed both) I'm up for some old style work.
Not bad with gold leaf, either. It's just got a lot more expensive.
And I'm not quite 60 yet!
Third from top.....
Ya know there's nothing like a giant bright flourescent yellow converted Truly Nolan truck to put the fear of Allah in ya, man.
Is their desert camoflauge expert color blind by any chance?
I was expecting that one to make a quacking sound. I wonder if it floats.
"Third from top.....

Allah provides. Sometimes he provides Safety Yellow latex instead of Coyotee Brown enamel. But he provides.
They should paint a great big smiley face on its bill.
Q. What's worse than being shot at?
A. Being shot at by a giant, smiling rubber ducky.
Have fun trying to look tough while you try to explain that one to the nurse at ER!
They're too late for Burning Man '14. Maybe next year?
Man the paint job on those things look like very amateurish, if not childish.
You sneer, you would be better asking does it work!
I swear they stole the design i and my neighborhood budies used when we were ten when we armor plated my little red wagon. Mine had the curved pull/steer arm. It was revolutionary.
John belushi could have built a better rig.
"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"
Wrong rabbitt hole there Jihaddi
I think so, but I have to go check my Phd. Thesis to be sure. trying to joke around with Spanish Inquisition; don't know why it came out under Knucles. Not exactly a computer expert.
Belushistan MRAPs or not, just how Molotov Cocktail resistant or Napalm resistant are these things?
My bet is, they're not.
"Ladies and Gentlemen...boys and girls....DYING TIME'S A' HERE!

If it is Barry is one of the combatants does the 2 men thing still apply?
No
That disturbs me.
I could rule the world with a few Western Kurd peshmerga and a blowtorch.
Some hard, pipe-hittin' Kurds...
Sweet Pulp Fiction
really...they can't be syria's
Special Forces Welding Bitchez!
lol No, I don't know. Language skills, medical training, Intelligence skills, Master of Weapons, Demolition, Construction, Survival, ...and Welding.
Up to like $71,000 in Montgomery Bill Education benefits.
The ferocity of the Kurds is whey more than ISIS can stomach.
Indeed, they'll Tuffet it out.
^ funny shiite
I think I saw those tanks in the San Francisco gay parade !!!
Now cut that out ! made me splurg tea oughta me nose.
just expect if their design to be like iphone 6 strengh against bending...
designed in usa, made in iraq, ISIS 6.0
HAHAHA
That top photo is from "The Road Warrior" not "Mad Max".
It was 1979 when the original movie (The Road Warrior) came out. Nobody who was alive in 1979 remembers anything about 1979. Aside from Jimmy Carter.
What was the other famous warrior movie from that era? Hint: Baseball Furies.
Anyone alive in the US in 1979 tried desparately to stay asleep through that nightmare. All hail the original prototype for Barack Obama's presidency..
Huh? Like uh when was uh 1979?
I watched Road Warrior daily during the week in a theater downtown Chicago, $1 matinee. Bought beer a the corner Walgreen's to smuggle in for refreshments. Same audience every day. Everybody shouted out the key phrases like "the ayatollah of rock n rolla" etc.
We all thought it was a training film for the end of the world, coming in 1980. Turns out we were 35 years early.
BTW, those things look like serious RGP bait. How could you miss?
Arabian sub-normals are authorities on missing; they can miss a goat at ten feet.
It was the year I bought a new Harley Davidson, 80cu. inch shovel head, at the local harley dealer, for cash; thereby bringing about one of the dreams of my childhood.
Cherry popped in 79.

Who runs Syria-Town? Master Blaster lolololololololololololl. I wonder if they are going to use any of that oil money from the north to buy their forces better tanks. Oh I forgot, the elite of the kurds is taking that money and putting it in accounts overseas for hookers and gambling.

Leonardo DaVinci making a comeback
No Trojan horse? WTF?
All during the Iraq war I wondered....why are we not arming the Kurds?
They are the only ones worth a damn. From my experience talking with immigrant kurds they are quite nice people.
Because Turkey is a NATO country; I know, I know, it's hard to believe, but it is; and they have a problem with the Kurds; and turkey is very important to our current lying and murdering campaign in Syria; so the Kurds don't get any help. Sucks to be honest in Obama's World.
It's not just the Kurds. the Ukrainian army and the pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine also got creative in the Mad Max/A-Team style:

everyone needs to relax. they are going to greet us as liberators. trust me.
I trust you; you go first; I'll bring up the rear.
SAT, I see you're Iraqi?
No. I'm a Scot. But whatever.
Instead of reinforced combat vehicles these look like decoys - cars and tractors being decorated as targets... except for that shielded APC. It's probably a combination of both.
"So to sum up - ISIS (the enemy) is using the latest and greatest US military equipment that it either stole from (or was given) Iraqi military and the Kurdish Peshmurga (our allies) are using tractors and trucks cobbled together with steel plates, duct tape, and surreal images."
I'm sure someone will be happy to put them into some new, top-of-the-line equipment, at very low rates, secured with a reasonable collateral stream.
Any questions about who the Obama administration backs and who our military wants to back have been answered.
problem is, do they have the discipline to do the PMs (not those, the others) to keep the shit running? Only the very best have that discipline, but we won't find out for a while.

R U sure Pre-Menstrual Syndrom is involved here ? Just want to be sure.
Hmmm? Yeez; I dunno. it seems reallly complicated. Could you splain about it one more time?
hey dont let it be said McStain doesnt live up to his promises......
And yet, ironically and treasonously enough, the Brass at the DOD is happy to click their heels and straight-arm salute the Obozo-in-Chief, and carry out any and all orders... no matter how insane or treasonous.
Some "Patriots", some "Oath Keepers". They remind one more of Pirates or Pimps than Patton-like Generals. Traitors!
have the kurds offered mel gibson the chance to lead them?
Joos said no dice.
Ha. Ha. that phoney windbag. he'd be a great choice alright.

Except you don't have to threaten women with cutting their heads off to fuck you. Our sluts give it up to everyone and anyone.
They don't seem like the type to pick up all their trash after the party.
Reminds me of the Trojan Rabbit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
