  1. Is the Russian VDV getting T-80BVs now too?/s
  2. x4 RBS-70s and a 12.7mm? Gun looks a little small in the render.
  3. I'm curious, what is the public opinion in Russia on their involvement in Syria at this point?
  4. Export market? Or perhaps someone would want a smaller vehicle as opposed to the bigger 8x8. I suppose it might be related to this:
  5. So will this mid-life upgrade package produce a new variant name? I would ask about the C2/Mk 2, but in looking this up I had come across some of you posting on the War Thunder forum regarding the matter.
  6. My initial reaction to the above was that it's a photoshopped image. However, the lighting on it seems consistent across the vehicle. Image searching doesn't bring up anything for it. Assuming then that it's real, I don't really see what the point of it would be unless it was for some reason done just to test if it was even possible. I suspect the Centauro 2's turret armor isn't anywhere close to the Ariete's, and the tank already has a 120mm. I guess this would mean that the two vehicles have the same turret ring diameter. Please share if you know more.
  7. Mi-2 strongest helicopter of all time. Fearlessly carry 15-man Komandosi squad into combat.
  8. I don't think there are any stains, it's just residual exhaust smoke hanging about.
  9. "Italy deploys F-35 on first NATO Mission"
  10. A bit late, but the HMS Prince of Wales went to sea on the 19th. That makes two floating flattops for Britain now.
  11. Looks like they got a hold of one of the vehicles that was used in Red Dawn.
  12. I can't say that I had seen this before. Of course, while looking it up, I then see that LoooSer had posted this here before several years ago (and I doubt you went back in this thread and saw it). He called it the Obzhimka, and it is an apparent mating of the experimental Object 934 hull and a turret similar in shape and armament to the 2S31 that would come later. Here is a Livejournal post by user raigap that talks about it briefly. Not sure if it is 100% factual. While I was searching for this thing, I realized that the Obj. 934 had several other variants that I was unaware of. Here are another two; the first testing a 152mm cannon and the second sporting more of a "BMPT" armament with autocannons and missiles(?).
  13. The post and both twitter links in it work for me. A problem with Twitter then?
  14. Took me a while to figure it out, but the vehicle that first appears at 0:57 would seem to be UDI's test rig for the Advanced Assault Amphibian Vehicle, a project that would become the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (which GDLS won the contract to further develop.) I am surprised this thing is still around and in private hands.
  15. I was wondering the same thing. Perhaps they were training for the scenario in with it did not work, or maybe they just felt particularly inclined to exercise a bit more.
  16. Nice of you to try and find it, guess next time you'll have to take an acetylene torch along. I don't suppose the museum staff/curator would know anything about this particular vehicle in question.
