No, he means haze gray of the choppers, not Aerоflot's dark silver.

Also, love the old-school yokes on the Il, they always look so much more solid than those joysticks.

Oh, I see. My mistake!

On that topic, though, I think it looks good as well. Clean is nice. Does the paint applied to the choppers en masse possess any other interesting qualities? Like a decreased radar/IR signature or something? Somebody theorised on this at a Swedish defense blog.

This BTR-80M is quite interesting, as it have the same day-night sight as BTR-82. Does it also have stabilization, because turret is the same as in the old BTR-80?

Nah, not impresive, here's one vid of Topol-M launch, I so much like the sound of dropped missile container nose cone:



P.S. nuke them all

Great work guys, nice photos as usual.

In a separate note: I dont like the way the female russian soldier use the hair, look quite untidy for a military force.
