I saw this image on the Yahoo News frontpage and the first thing that came to mind was the Rolling Thunder and her giant missiles. This is the Chinese DF-21D and is supposedly able to take out an aircraft carrier. Granted this Chinese vehicle is more realistic and not quite the badass that the Rolling Thunder is but this could easily be a precursor to that awesome vehicle/playset.

Nothing says "tactical vehicle" like white wall tires.

The Chinese are famous for their knock-off toys and jeans, these are knock-offs of an early 80's American military truck.
