Wow. SO yeah, not like anyone here would know or care, but the H1, 2, and 3 are based on the chassis of the HMMWV. What's that, you ask? Oh, it's that pesky thing that ferries all our men into combat. This is roughly analgous to sellling state secrets, althought at this point I guess it doesn't matter since the Chinese own us anyways.
