Superpants Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 A quick search using the google image search and following some links pulls up this http://www.4x4dergi.com/hurda-arac-israfi/ As the likely original source- looks like Turkey. A very rough translation is; http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=tr&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.4x4dergi.com%2Fhurda-arac-israfi%2F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikec Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I saw this photo a while back and consensus then was they were us army I think, though I'm not surfeit they have that many landies, but apparently it's common practice for the vehicles not be allowed to be sold on the civvy market by the manufacturer as it lessens the value of the vehicles.

western Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 going by the rear body type, they look like Otokar Defenders made by the Turkish licence builder. http://www.otokar.com.tr/en/products/product_detail.aspx?urun=57 US don't use defenders, even the R-SOV vehicles have been retired or in storage IIRC.
