Farmers across Britain are giving their ageing trucks a new lease of life – on the front lines against Russia
For decades, it has been one of Britain’s favourite all-terrain chariots: built for lugging heavy loads across fields, but nippy enough to navigate the car park in Tesco’s. Sturdy, reliable and cheaper than a Land Rover, the humble Mitsubishi L200 pick-up is the workhorse of everyday country folk.
Unsurprisingly, after a lifetime of tough service on a farm, and with 100,000 miles on the clock, an L200 doesn’t normally attract much attention on the second-hand market. But now, farmers across Britain are seeing a surge in demand for their ageing jalopies – for use as mobile rocket launchers in Ukraine.
