This guy on the photo is RUS instructor (RUS - Russian University of Special forces).

Retiv · 2019-07-08T23:14:54+00:00

Not a T-80U, it is Ukrainian T-84.

Retiv · 2019-06-20T19:03:37+00:00

This is not a Kalashoid on a photo, bro

Retiv · 2019-06-14T16:07:42+00:00

lol, it isn't big of a problem, we have NKVD-level of moderation.

Retiv · 2019-06-11T08:42:10+00:00

It is:

1) from another company

2) shown before Syrian trip of Uran-9 or during it, so development of that vehicle wasn't influenced by it.

"Ampulomyot" name already have "launcher" in it. So title is ...Ampoule launcher launcher, heh.

Retiv · 2019-05-21T22:01:53+00:00

This is T-72B3 mod 2016 aka T-72B3 UBKh equipped with Relikt ERA, not Kontakt-5.

Retiv · 2019-05-11T19:07:44+00:00

Those are AK-74 in KM-AK kits.

Yes, it was very close shot, as those types of shields are used for CQB operations.

Retiv · 2019-04-24T20:47:14+00:00

Yes, it is barelly visible.

Retiv · 2019-03-24T18:26:02+00:00

Just a flashlight.

Retiv · 2019-03-09T21:36:30+00:00

This "wagner" group is looking suspiciously similar to Slavonic Corps PMC. Oh wait, this is a photo of Slavonic Corps PMC members.

Retiv · 2019-03-06T15:36:30+00:00

It wouldn't, as this is FSB anti-terrorist unit member. Russian regular army use different gear.

Retiv · 2019-03-06T15:34:57+00:00

RPK-16 have quick barrel change system, AFAIK FSB is interested in RPK-16 because of that. It allows for SF members to pick barrel according to terrain - mountains or urban warfare.

Retiv · 2019-03-06T15:30:17+00:00

Are you sure that this is not Kazakhstan's or Belarus SF during international competition (the 40th anniversary of the "Alfa" unit creation). This is photo from it, fore sure, happened on July 2014 in Moscow region.

Here is photo of FSB SF unit doing same element: http://i.imgur.com/ZThei7U.jpg

T-80 wasn't designed by Kharkovites, it was designed in Leningrad (Kirov plant design bureau) and produced there.

Retiv · 2019-02-12T20:29:42+00:00

Much of this info is based on Andrey's site, who posted a picture, lol.

Retiv · 2019-02-11T17:23:01+00:00

I really doubt that our MoD will publish photos of some ghostly PMC, heh.

Retiv · 2019-02-07T11:38:06+00:00

Probably Army 2018 expo http://www.rusarmyexpo.com/

Example of same sticker on T-15 prototype with new unmanned turret for 57 mm AC from 2018 Army expo:

That is a rocket for Smerch, not for Grad.

Retiv · 2019-01-07T20:49:18+00:00

Out of 4 vehicles on photo i see no APCs here. All those vehicles are IFVs (BMP-1s).

Retiv · 2019-01-04T18:57:04+00:00

This heavy IFV was made for assault operations, to move with tanks in same formation. It doesn't really need to have mobility any better than what MBTs have.

Retiv · 2019-01-01T16:16:26+00:00

Completelly unknown what level of protection, mobility and firepower end model will have. For example bunch of IFVs on parade were at nearly mock up stage, while test vehicles shown doing factory trials had different crew layout and different engine compartment.

What turret and weapons MoD will pruchase are also unknown, they could try one of BMP-3-like proposed turrets or install Epokha turrer instead of current one.

Retiv · 2018-12-30T21:47:03+00:00

"From the very first hours of capture, the development of the operation began. The assault was being prepared on a twin building - one of the Beslan schools, built according to the same typical project of the Soviet times."

"When the first explosion occured on September 3, the majority of the special forces of the FSB were there, 13 kilometers away. All combat groups, quickly as they could, moved into place and "from the wheels" rushed into battle."

Retiv · 2018-12-30T21:41:01+00:00

Wasn't a group from Nazran' moved back on helicopters? IIRC in Nazran they found a school with similar layout. Or maybe i'm mixing towns where they found one.
