That happens in a lot of former Eastern Bloc countries and Russia -- vehicles are demilled and used by logging companies, as vehicles to transport scientific teams across rough terrain, as rescue vehicles in firefighting, and other stuff. There's even a version of the BMP-1 called the Ladoga which is a luxury vehicle inside, and transport for VIPs in hazardous areas on the outside.
