Brutalny 4×4 z fabryki śmigieł, który podbił 110 krajów świata

A brutal 4x4 from a propeller factory that conquered 110 countries worldwide. This is the extraordinary story of the Romanian ARO, a military off-roader born in a Carpathian factory built in 1942 to produce aircraft propellers. It began as a copy of the Soviet GAZ-69 jeep, becoming the only Eastern Bloc vehicle to sell a license to the capitalist West. Built from 1974 in Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Brazil, it conquered some 110 countries on five continents, with up to 90% of production going for export. It undercut Land Rover in rawness and price, and its heart even beat with a Polish Andoria engine. It served in the army as far as Afghanistan, survived the fall of communism and the wild 1990s, only to finally fall in 2006 not to the enemy, but to an American investor. Discover the full, dramatic story of the tough guy from the Carpathians who beat the West on its own turf. Music used in the film: "Eyes of Glory" by Aakash Gandhi and "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" by Cooper Cannell. Images are publicly available from archive.org.
