  2. International Defense Review magazine have pubished a review of Victor Suvorov (Rezun)'s book "Inside the Soviet Army" in 1983-02 issue. Back in June during my visit at RSL library I decided to skip it, but Suvorov's illustrated two-page reply to that review caught my attention, so I've made photos of it instead: separately photographed illustrations:

  12. This one is (or might be) indeed new - in a sense that it (probably) was created recently - although it seems to be composed using two screenshots from TVC channel's news program Sobytiya (Events) special report Zheleznaya Logika (Iron Logic), aired back in February of 2016
  13. No idea. I had no other thing to rely on except SuT's caption for this photo: Google Translate GER->ENG ... can't add another pic to previous post, for some reason, so this one goes here - photo of what is described as XM291, from IDR 1990-12

  16. article on AUSA 1980 exhibition, published in International Defense Review 1981-01 article on AUSA 1981 exhibition, published in International Defense Review 1982-01 article on AUSA 1981 exhibition, published in International Defense Review 1982-02 article (in german) on AUSA 1981 exhibition, published in Wehrtechnik 1982-01 article on AUSA 1982 exhibition, published in International Defense Review 1982-12 from that article on AUSA'82 - Ares concept turret w/75mm on nonexistent 6x6 wheeled chassis, which reminds me of ACVT and MPWS concepts - like one from cover of Armor magazine's January-February 1980 issue (although this one was with "gun pod" turret) (same drawings also available in Wheled versus tracked vehicles study final report, March 1985 on page 235 aka 3-73)
  17. More than that, even basic next-generation BMP, BMP-3, got no add-on armor on the sides of the hull, only 43mm of aluminum alloy ABT102 - which is enough only against 7.62 B32 (Voprosy Oboronnoy Tekhniki /Issues of Defence Equipment/, series XX, iss. 86 (1979), p.20) Still, among several articles on BMP-3 printed in Vestnik Bronetankovoy Techniki /Armored Vehicles Herald/ 1991-05, in one titled "BMP-3 - infantry fighting vehicle of next generation", authors claimed that eng: ...I wish they were virtually paid or virtually employed with the same degree of fulfilment as their own "virtually"
  18. Any information on distance at which Afghan variant's side armour would stop 14.5? At least B-32, for a start ... lower frontal plate and whole rear end of BMP were vulnerable from the beginning, and it has not changed with Afghan variant, first one would stop 23mm only from 2200 meters, second one would stop 14.5 from 1600 metres - compared to Bradley's protection of both against 14.5 from 200 and 250m respectively (all numbers from SAIFV report aka Infantry Fighting Vehicle Task Force Study results, 1978-04, chapter IV, page 16)

  20. article on AUSA 1975 exhibition, published in International Defense Review 1975-06 article on AUSA 1976 exhibition, published in International Defense Review 1977-01 article on AUSA 1977 exhibition, published in International Defense Review 1978-01
  21. adding ":large" to end of url of pic uploaded on twitter allows to get a larger version of it, with resolution limited to 2048x2048 instead of 1200x675 pix https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D_qwfwPUYAIVr21.jpg:large and btw it also seems possible to upload and see on twitter pics at resolution up to 4096x4096 - with links like this one: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D_segYMWkAAsLcD?format=jpg&name=4096x4096 which i got looking at post with this image via mobile.twitter.com and also it seems possible to get the same image limited to 4096x4096 by adding ":4096x4096" to end of regular link like this: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D_segYMWkAAsLcD.jpg:4096x4096 and even more than that - by adding ":orig", like this https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DpAZnMDXUAQ_DlZ.jpg:orig https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DpAZnMDXUAQ_DlZ?format=jpg&name=orig obviously, one can't get picture larger than it's original resolution, and so far I haven't found any pics longer of wider than 2048 pix, uploaded before mid-May of this year. photos posted as early as August of 2014 turn out to be longer and/or wider than 2048pix, like one in this post for example https://twitter.com/USArmy/status/505105128085393409
