If former Soviet vehicles can be had for pennies on the dollar and the new owners have lots of time and labor, the vehicles could be converted to something more suited for whatever uses the new owners need.

Examples - modify existing Land Rovers to take Soviet wheels and tires. Use a Soviet engine to get a ag tractor moving again. Build a total custom ATV that can deal with the mule friendly trails.

Bonus if the vehicles were not de-milled before the sale. A turret mount gun might make a decent pill box weapon. Any comm gear could be useful and provide an alternative to western gear. Some vehicles have limited Surface to Air defense and maybe even offense capabilities. Also, even older tanks can make a decent if short ranged 'shoot and scoot' artillery system.
