How about Iraq or Afghanistan, smart-ass ?

Chill out friend, just keep in mind I come from the balkans. And Laws of Warfare is an oxymoron.

Is this camo pattern called Partizan ? Also I have seen a number of different camo patterns worn by Russian troops. Whats the most common and why the lack of a uniform camo ? Thx

thats KZS/KZM.
Flora is most common one.
Uniformity is up to unit's SOP as far as I know.

No the Partizan camouflage pattern is the one loosely derived from the Erbsenmuster one.



The one you're looking at is advertized as the Sumrak...?!

Hi guys this is my first try so forgive me if the photos are a repost.

How recent is the first photo of "Parrot" (попугай)?
The military is funded better now, but I still can't believe they let planes fly abroad with such rundown paint job. By the way my father helped to paint the original camo (the only camo'd An-22) back in 1980's when he was stationed in Tver.

Comrade Artem's dastardly plan to hold the world to ransom was going to plan....

I presume you are referring to the RGN (left) and RGO?

Those are the ones... thanks.

The number of stories I have read from WWII where the brave Soviet soldiers picked the enemies grenades and hurled them back always made me wonder why more grenades do not have impact fuses.

Thanks Calimero2, and also TheArmenian for that wonderful photo of the Moskva.

Your first post here and you post two pictures of C0cks!... (sorry... bad joke... the NATO codename for the An-22 is C0CK.)

What AT weapon could that be? (Hole in the turret)

Sorry, I must be blind but all I see is a large impact point with no penetration and with radial impact points around it. To me it looks like a large calibre tank round that was HE FRAG. The radial pattern of impacts from the fragments near the nose of the projectile as the nose crushes into the turret on impact.

By the way my father helped to paint the original camo (the only camo'd An-22) back in 1980's when he was stationed in Tver.

Lucky guy. Can only imagine what it must sound like to hear the worlds largest turboprop aircraft take off...

Georgian cobra, probably disabled by heavy sniper rifle. Any guesses? It killed 3 soldiers in a row, injured the driver and ricocheted from control panel.

Hum there are traces of a splash at impact zone, looks more like an old RPG or at best KPV AP-T round.

And Laws of Warfare is an oxymoron.

Just FYI many armies in the world follow Laws of land Warfare very strictly. That is no BS.

The Ossetians had T-72s? Then again the Bore diameter of the Konkurs is 135mm and warhead weight of the Konkurs is greater of the 3BK29.

Tanks APDSFS, I think one can actually see a mark left by one of the fins on the engine cover.
