A Russian front line service vehicle has been hilariously dragged on social media for looking like a car from a famous comedy movie.<\/p>\n

Rob Lee, a senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute in the US shared an image of a Russian Bukhanka vehicle with a camouflage counter-UAV roof screen.<\/p>\n

The Bukhanka, real name UAZ-452, was given its nickname for its likeness to the shape of a loaf of bread. The vehicle, usually green in colour, might find itself with a new nickname after Russian troops added tassles to its exterior to help with camouflage.<\/p>\n

But instead of obscuring the vehicle, the added extras have made it more visible online and have drawn comparisons to the Ford Econoline in the 1994 flick Dumb and Dumber. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Econoline in the movie looked like a massive dog on wheels after Jeff Daniels's character Harry Dunne spends his life savings converting the utility van into a mobile dog-grooming business called Mutt Cutts, and made up to look like a sheepdog.<\/p>\n

After this was pointed out to Lee, he admitted: "That\u2019s what I thought of as well."<\/p>\n

A pro-Ukrainian account also pointed out: "Russian cars' evolution: from a Scooby Doo van to a Chewbacca mobile."<\/p>\n
