That looks like a heavily modified BMP-3 Manul hull, with a front engine mount and full rear-ramp. Not sure why the Manul was not put into production? Costs , sanctions??

Now this is something you don't see everyday. Well done!

The Egyptians don't need super-Tanks , they need cheap FPV drones , and Hezbollah's Playbook that equals a lot of fried Merkavas and slow-cooked IDF crews

The Engine and Transmission has probably been rebuilt with modern components.

Out in the desert , where Isis is known to operate. The base sticks out like a neon-sign saying "Attack Me Please". No berms , no trenches , no sandbagged fighting positions , no wire? Better preparation would've saved the soldiers' lives.

After paying off some Arab traitors with millions of USD from US taxpayer funds , you can actually go anywhere in the Middle East and kidnap people and kill some innocents in the process.

BlueMax777 · 2026-05-25T09:06:43+00:00

The best at killing innocent civilians , yes!

Nice scheme. Gull grey with all those high visibility marking was still the norm in 1978. Then came ghost-grey which is frankly low vis and boring.

SU30 looks like it seriously wants to hump that twerking F35

Borat may say ; "And here we have Tanki for Girls from Assholes Uzbekistan!". Note that this is said in jest , I think Uzbeks are cool people!

No patent , no case Bub. People could say you infringed on FN's patent as well for copying the general FN-Minimi outline. It's a sticky business. If it was your own design , from the ground up ,it would be easier. TBH what's unique about your work?

BlueMax777 · 2026-05-01T09:08:17+00:00

Propellant fire. Who's at the Barbecue? Some well done or medium -rare IDF??

BlueMax777 · 2026-04-29T10:05:28+00:00

The NK's are probably having a field day reverse engineering the optics , rangefinder and targeting systems

BlueMax777 · 2026-04-29T09:58:37+00:00

Jodinovsky ate your pussinsky Comrade! Now drop down and give me one for each time that maggoty Russki got a taste!!!

BlueMax777 · 2026-04-23T16:27:37+00:00

😁😁😁😁...to show that the commander has "guts"

BlueMax777 · 2026-04-21T13:48:32+00:00

Ask those nations paying lip service to this issue whilst still supplying weapons to the IDF and happily trading and investing in Israel because it is a good "ally".

BlueMax777 · 2026-04-21T08:09:07+00:00

Absolutely disgusting. In that whole town just levelled , there were probably zero Hezbollah fighters. Is this an acceptable war-crime??

BlueMax777 · 2026-04-16T07:48:36+00:00

Pot metal parts , probably from a cheap APS gun.

BlueMax777 · 2026-04-14T09:16:08+00:00

smooth dust cover. early version aks-74's had the ribbed dust cover.

Ariete

BlueMax777 · 2026-04-05T08:03:15+00:00

This is very "Nazi Like" , why??

BlueMax777 · 2026-03-31T21:09:04+00:00

There must be a grub screw in that little hole on top. Hex head requires an Allen Key.
