    You are right. The typical form of a nozzle... I have been misled by this information http://www.umpo.ru/News118_301.aspx

    1 year ago, Georgian corvette managed to hit and damage Russian one off Poti?







    That's what somebody suggest on another forum... But i really doubt that. Doesn't look like Black sea to me

    Yes, I think. The OSF was shown at the french stand.

    Dzhaga-Dzhaga thanks for all these magnificent photographs!

    I am only puzzeled by this device. Is it an anti-armour submunition working the same way as the BONUS 155mm artilery submunition? If it isnt, what is it?

    As for the PBF gas mask being a good one is questionable. I own a PMG which is a similar design and other than the M10 (Czech copy of the American M17) is the worst in my collection. The latex tightens after around an hour of usage, it gets very hot and fogs up rather easily as well. The speech diaphram is also of poor quality compared to my C3 and M9A1. The PBF has the cheek filters which also adds weight to the front of the mask, which is annoying I have found compared to masks with side or breathing tube designs.

    I love Russian military equipment but comparing Soviet/Warsaw masks to some of the Western designs I have, I would take my C3 or m61 Version 3 over the PGM or GP-5 anyday.

    Why do you have so many masks? You expect apocalypse?

    I need a question answered about the maximum gradient that T-90S can climb over. I've seen some data, and they mention 32 degrees gradient and 30 deg sideslope. Yet I've seen a data for T-84 saying max grad is 60 degrees. What gives? My dad was in the tank corps a short time before finishing officers school after which he was transfered to mechanized infantry. He said that M-84 (Yugoslav T-72 derivative with better armour and a 1000hp diesel engine) is able to traverse a 60 degree gradient. Judging by all the data I've got, it seems that the 32 deg grad given for T-90S is false. Is that correct?

    Can anyone identify this pic for me


    I know the one on the left is a KH-31, and the grey one is a KAB-500, but what about the other two?
