I saw the Pollocks in a vehicle like that. All decked out in Pollock colors a course. I got a pic of it somewhere I took pics of the some of the Bulgarian, Ukranian, Slovak, Pollock, and Italian vehicles I came across.
What the Ukranians had was a BMP...much like the 1117...we had a unit of those guys who secured a bridge on Saddams canal that he stole everyone elses water with.. that had three of these in thier small FOB there, We spent many an hour sitting with those guys trading **** and firing each others weapons...Me and another Soldier were showed how to drive thier BMP's ...pretty easy once they showed you what each switch was ...all the labels were in russian but when you know how to drive a vic a clutch is a clutch, a power switch is a power switch, a tac is a tac. and it doesn't matter what the label over it looks like ...got to drive thier **** a bunch of times and i gotta tell you it was some fun..
there's a reason the asv looks like a bmp, it was designed partially to replicate bmp's at jrtc and ntc... saw them many times when i was opfor at jrtc, the first time i saw one on fob courage, i damn near laughed my ass off
on another note, i don't know if i would say that the 1114 was holding it's own... there are many times we had to slow down our convoy of mixed strykers and 1114s because they couldn't keep up (and no, i will not say what that speed was)
