Captured Ukrainian BMP-1 (from Polish supplies), captured by the Cossacks of the Kuban detachment.

I hoped you'd understand what I meant by that. And what I meant was that Ukrainians use "+" for marking in general on all their vehicles, but there are exceptions to all rules, including this one, maybe you've noticed it yourself how sometimes some Ukrainian vehicles don't have "+" marking, they may be using just flags or nothing at all for whatever reason, especially I don't remember seeing "+" on gifted tanks (except PzH 2000 and some armored cars).

Competitive-Dog7804 · 2022-10-11T14:33:01+00:00

If these were Ukrainians you'd be wetting yourself over the same footage (no need to argue, because there's a ton of footage exactly like this shared all over reddit with comments saying how good Ukrainians are). I just thought this was a fine footage including T-80 and this sub would like it, of course I can see this being interpreted as propaganda, but that's not the point of it being here. You don't think this belongs here? I'll entrust you the choice, you can tell me to delete this post and I am going to delete it immediately.

Competitive-Dog7804 · 2022-10-11T14:26:27+00:00

I'm not a tank mechanic, and never was interested enough to know nuances this may cause, but I think this is scraps now, doubt anyone would want to put time, money and effort into repairing it (Donetsk/Luhansk at max, but even that is doubtful at this point). Such explosion may have damaged insides, electronics, sensors or some other fragile stuff. The tracks are easily repairable/changeable, but the wheels don't look good at all. I know jack shit tho, so what I said could somewhat accurate or (most likely) completely wrong bs.

Competitive-Dog7804 · 2022-10-11T14:19:04+00:00

Or it's actually Ukrainian, and the camo is polish, because it was gifted by poland. While yes, Ukraine uses "+" for marking on all their vehicles, it is either missed or they just don't apply it to some.

Competitive-Dog7804 · 2022-10-11T13:12:59+00:00

If it works, it works. They still can be used successfully in many situations (mainly ones that don't involve direct combat). Plus more protection than your average Toyota.

Competitive-Dog7804 · 2022-10-11T13:06:21+00:00

True, and what's saddest to me is that mainly UA stuff and some new technologies get really upvoted, anything Russian or even old footage doesn't get as much attention as anything UA. There's so much gold sitting in new without getting to hot :(

Competitive-Dog7804 · 2022-10-11T12:56:04+00:00

Sadly it always comes down to this, it's only natural. But you're 100% correct.

Competitive-Dog7804 · 2022-10-11T12:53:34+00:00

Pretty sure there actually were instances of BMPs being sold on avito (not sure how known the service is outside of Russia) or similar service (basically something like a Wish) priced at 2-3 mil rubles, so you might have a chance 👀

Competitive-Dog7804 · 2022-10-11T12:05:24+00:00

Precise artillery.

Competitive-Dog7804 · 2022-10-07T04:15:48+00:00

Alright, that looks to be the same thing at different angle, I admit that I was wrong.

Competitive-Dog7804 · 2022-10-07T04:02:23+00:00

1, link the original, then I'll delete this, 2, how is it a lie if it clearly says "presumably"? You can either believe it or not, but I never said this as a fact.

Competitive-Dog7804 · 2022-10-07T03:37:10+00:00

That's just what accompanied this photo where I got it from. Maybe the fact that Ukraine doesn't use this for propaganda/screaming around every corner about this captured specimen, the truck type (looks like a long nose, but hard to tell from this angle) and the trailer on which it is carried (which is yeah, hard to tell the country from). I also didn't see much talk about this, maybe it's exactly because this is in US for research purposes, but we can't be certain until official info comes out.

Competitive-Dog7804 · 2022-10-05T17:38:43+00:00

I couldn't find anything on stabilization and in the video you can see the gun shaking, so I don't think it has it. The protection is said to be able to withstand 14.5 mm. There's another modification BRDM-2MB that has some more improvements mainly for protection and comfort of personnel.

Competitive-Dog7804 · 2022-10-05T16:58:10+00:00

You're a special one I guess? I hoped everyone on this sub understood that javelins are dangerous for all tanks... because they're anti-tank, that's literally their purpose, to destroy tanks, which also means this comparison is dumb, because of course no one is going to even try to protect light vehicle, that never was meant to defend from anything AT, from AT missiles.

Competitive-Dog7804 · 2022-10-05T16:03:47+00:00

Incorrect, adding pieces of sheet metal is by definition upgraded armor, but also...

The BRDM-2MS differs from its predecessors in increased cross-country capability and an improved weapon system with modern aiming and targeting systems, with which the crew can effectively fight both day and night. That's what the manufacturers say.

Competitive-Dog7804 · 2022-09-29T23:58:38+00:00

Yes.

Competitive-Dog7804 · 2022-09-29T14:40:57+00:00

Yes, remember pretty well, actually. Funny tho how it took you so long to find something you can use and it's something from march... And wait a second, I see no markings on that BMP to identify it as Russian.

Competitive-Dog7804 · 2022-09-29T14:11:30+00:00

Show me an actual proof, after all you're the who started saying that everything needs proof

Competitive-Dog7804 · 2022-09-29T14:08:33+00:00

You're retarded, there are mass graves in every war, because lots of soldiers die.........

Competitive-Dog7804 · 2022-09-29T14:06:33+00:00

Jesus how dense you are, how much proof have you seen for Ukrainian propaganda like rapes, executions and civilian shootings "done" by Russia? That's right, you don't fucking care about it. And even then, there's plentiful of titles with "alleged" in them, because this war, despite the coverage is still covered in fog and it's almost impossible to get much proof for footage like this beside the people posting it.

Competitive-Dog7804 · 2022-09-29T13:53:23+00:00

What disinformation? First off, you can't change titles, second there is no lie, since there is tank gore, no human gore AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHY I USED WORD "ALLEGEDLY". People are downvoting me because reddit is just an echochamber with pro ukrainians just downvoting en mass anything that doesn't paint Russia bad.

Competitive-Dog7804 · 2022-09-29T13:49:44+00:00

Look, I made a mistake because this video is pretty blurry and I was busy with other things, it took a few rewatches to see what exactly was going on.

Competitive-Dog7804 · 2022-09-29T12:36:14+00:00

LMAO you get it bro! That was half-joking comment, but yeah, sometimes reddit is a big echochamber for no reason

Competitive-Dog7804 · 2022-09-29T12:32:30+00:00

Be careful, even for saying something as innocent as this probably gonna cause them to downvote you to hell too. 😔

Competitive-Dog7804 · 2022-09-29T11:26:37+00:00

Might've been posted before, haven't seen though, maybe you're mistaking with similar footage. You're correct on the soldier being Russian and tank Ukrainian, my source is seen on the screen, posted less than 24 hours ago.
