So no one believed wat I said huh? ABout the US$1 truck.....ok
here it goes:
I went for my first ever overseas training way back in mid 1994. I
was the advanced party together wif some regulars. Based in Ta-Pu
camp...went for some orientation driving wif a Ma-Lao NCO sitting
behind our rover...he kept saying how good performance of the rover
compared to their ageing tonner trucks which was sold to em for
US$1 each in the 70s.
The reason so cheap was because in the 70s when the US pull out
their troops there, the US didnt want to 'withdraw' those heavy
trucks so as a good will, they decided to sell to the Mao-Lao Armed
Forces for US$1 each.
He even told us more info about their HAWK AAM...sorry guys, secret
info so no no say here.
