Did you guys notice the T-62 in the background? It has the NII Stali slat armor suite, but not the BDD "horseshoes" on the turret. It may have the BDD on the glacis plate, but that's not visible. It also appears to lack the thermal sleeve for the main gun and the coaxial laser range finder. And it also seems to have the early loader's hatch, the one without the AA HMG mount.
Old, yes. Peculiar? Given the Soviet/Russian penchant for adding newer features to vehicles during their periodic overhauls or as required, I think it's hardly surprising to see a mix of the old and the new on the same vehicle.
Ka-27's are so fat and cute, like manatees with coaxial rotors!![]()
And looked real badass with missiles and a dark grey color in the movie "No Escape" (1994), starring Ray Liotta. Bit off-topic, I know...
Some great photos there Roman et al...
Thanks!
Shame about the usual dumb comments, but I'm getting used to that on here now...
This man has earned his stripes Geocider. Romans is one of the biggest contributors to the mp.net site. He has proven himself on every occasion. When it comes to fame I guess you could compare him to Brad Pit, but with a sixth sense for making people hungry while looking at his recipie's!You are such a pathetic little man, Roman... Just keep basking in this temporary fame you got yourself...
