Perhaps they will avoid giving the T-14s to the farmers...

I’ll wager the Ukraine army has several different types in service lately.

There'll probably be a video soon showing how ineffective that is against Kamikaze drones or even a Javalin. Great way to make sure the driver cooks well, too.

Someone here had offered me junked Soviet bits that'd make ideal fodder for these bits of inspiration

yup yup yup - those of you who don't Frank the connection, do use the sideways scrollers. There's many pics of potential diorama material.

Now I see them. Man, you can fry more orks in a BMD than you can in a T-72, but the turrets don't fly as far.

[Old Wombat]

I've noticed that more & more T-72 kits are coming with full interiors (especially from Amusing Hobby);



And I think we all know why;

i still think this is one of 2022's most powerful images. I can see it as a wall-hanging inside of a small frame.
Golly, if someone with a pile of Soviet scrap actually got into their conex...

Maybe they'll send some T-14 Armatas to see if they'll last a week.

Is fine Russian ARMATA tank stalling during Moscow parade.
Kremlin meant to do that, so they could demonstrate excellent recovery skills before mass audience.


(See how the ARV is *spinning track*?  Either the Armata's driver dumped it into park, or it's transmission/final drives froze)

Either the Armata's driver dumped it into park, or it's transmission/final drives froze

AFAIK the story is that the driver accidentally put the handbrake on & couldn't figure out how to release it

Highly trained Russian specialists!

Latest Russian idea for a full-track drone-protected APC ?

[Kerick]

A sabot round would still go right through it. Dumbest looking thing I’ve seen in a long time.

[Jeffry Fontaine]

The Mole People are sharing their technology with Russia? 

[Frank3k]

A Ukrainian  FPV drone pilot straight out of training could probably deliver a shaped charge that would spray some molten metal from front to back.

Unless the ZSU gunners were laughing so hard at this thing that they couldn't aim straight ... 

[Kerick]

That’s probably the only thing that would save the crew!
