    Those are some awesome pictures of the Russian Army!
    Actually mostly t-72 with reactive armour.

    Has any BTR3U or BTR4 been found in Georgia?

    I will wait for full report on Russian and South Ossetia militia casulties before drawing my conclusions.

    When you watch that video interview of Russian Officer and the captured equipment look close at the small arms on the table. You can see an M-4 carbine, Hungarian AMD-65 (AKMS) yes, Georgian's got them, a Romanian Model-1990 (AKMS) and what appears to be a 3rd model AK-47?
    The only other American supplies are the M-35, 2 1/2-ton truck. No APC's as mentioned in the video.

    I won't repost the picture, but I have seen some of the Russian soldiers wearing US-style BDU caps in KLMK camo. Seems the style has caught on there too?

    Hey guys, Im still interested in that up-armored BTR-80. Did we ever figure out what kit it was? Does anyone have any more pics of it?

    Default Russian website worth a look - lots of photos.

    This is well worth a look. A Russian forum with a whole thread devoted to the recent Georgian conflict. A great deal of destroyed vehicles, tanks and even a couple of after-ambush shots.

    *WARNING* there are also a lot of very graphic photos. Corpses, corpses on fire, injured and mutilated soldiers, open gunshot wounds. Don't say I didn't warn you..............

    Great find but the website you posted was already the topic of another thread posted about a week ago. I couldn't find it but it may have been deleted.

    There is something profoundly wrong with people taking these pictures (for other than strictly professional purposes, e.g. forensics specialists etc) and people watching them. Sick.

    These photos do show the real face of war, just to make some people think twice before raising the "war's flag" to figure out a specific issue.

    Might be good to make it compulsory for all the flag waving war mongering idiots to look through a collection of photos like this to clear their heads before posting if that's possible.

    I totaly agree with you, sure this is real side of war but taking pictures of such things and post them as trophy...
    for info the soldiers wo took and who are on the pictures are from "Vostok" battalion so it explain this taste for blood and gore.
