MTLBs on train (2007)


This pic was taken in August 2008 and posted today. So these BMRs might have been sent to Georgia.

What are these the first 2 vehicles? Some strange turrets.

[calimero2]

That's an airborne artillery unit: two 1V119 command/forward observer vehicles, then five 2S9 "Nona" 120mm mortars and then another two 1V119's.

Regarding the Cobra.
There are two visible holes on the hull, one left on the rear side (the one shown from the interior as well) and one right just above-behind the rear right wheel.



HAVE FUN !!!

Note in the background the T-72 SIM-1 and a couple of BMP-1's with Shkval turrets. I'd love to see more pictures from that display.

Hopefully some will end up on display at the Kubinka museum for the viewing pleasure of armor afficionados worldwide.

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

Edit: erased Look at your PM box...

Indeed they do. Many hold themselves to a higher standard than they hold their enemies.
The problem arises however when some demand other adhere to rules and laws they never signed up for. Recently on TV they had a news report showing South Koreans examining the remains of what has been estimated to be tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of suspected communist sympathisers executed by South Korean forces in Seoul when it was anticipated the communists were coming. These executions were said to have been carried out with the knowledge of US and UN personel and some photographic evidence was shown of some of the victims bound ready to be shot and have their bodies dumped in old disused mine shafts.

Obviously a line has to be drawn somewhere about what is OK and what is not OK. The reality is that that line is not fixed and it depends who you are fighting, why you are fighting, what your situation is and 1,000 other factors. The reality is that you won't use chemical weapons against an enemy that is better equipped than you with chemical weapons.

If yes, how serious was the damage?

Thx

No, just another bullet in the information war. Moskva was in Novorossiysk, georgian boat wsa destroyed by "Malahit" rocket from "Mirag".

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.

This photo is from Bratislava (Slovakia), and it is likely made within
last five years. The camo on "Antheus" is just plainly awful. I like
soviet oldschool "Aero flot" paintscheme, even on military transport
planes.

P.S Nice avatar

Залез с телефона на форум. И обалдел. Какие повреждения? Раненых и убитых у нас нет- это ложь. Когда мы вернемся самим хотелось бы знать. 18 точно не придем- разве что "Москва" возможно. Так что никакой паники, дамы и господа.

Here is a post of medical officer from "Moskva". There is no casualties in Black fleet, so this is all BS. And he don't know when they will come back to Sevastopol.
