The armored car is modular: only the chassis and the front part of the cabin are permanent elements.

/.../

As a base, a GAZ-3308 Sadko truck was used. The car is driven by a 4.4-liter turbo-diesel YaMZ-534 with a power of 147 hp. and a torque of 670 Nm.

So TB 2019 will be sponsored by Aeroflot or Smirnoff?

...

...That said, I'm surprised those Evel Knievel shenanigans are still allowed in the biathlon given the structural toll they impose on those hulls. The crews should be told "you break it, you pay for it" from the get-go or forbidden to listen to hardbass while driving around.

Tajikistan - i choose you to break something!

Russia must be first, everywhere! 77 km/h, that turning went very well for tracks.

A little bit on BMP-3 in Yemen war.

Not much interesting, after BMP-3 hit a mine and disassembled itself with secondary detonations of ammunition it was moved to rear and used to as guard for important areas.

No, i didn't watched TB.

[Mighty_Zuk]

Found it.

At 22:40. 77km/h is impressive. Throwing a track because the truck's vibrating too much and going too fast is also impressive.

I saw that track-throwing on the livestream. Whereas the rest of the tanks reaches 65-67 km/h and the Chinese one 71 km/h, the Russian T-72B3 reaches an astonishing 77 km/h!! After closer examination of that tank I conclude that the Russians are cheating again.

IMO, they took a T-72B3M with the more powerful engine (1130hp) and took of the commander's independent sight to mask the tank as an ordinary T-72B3. You can see the covered hole of the commanders sight on the Russian tanks but not on the other participants tanks.

There are no rules against more powerull engines. Chinese team also use non-standart Type 96A. For example, in one of previous games their tank was lighter than 40 tons, which was reason to add a new rule this year about tanks participating in competition not being lighter than 40 tons.

Btw. did India use T-90S again?

No. They use T-72Budget cuts as majority of others. Probably to avoid Indian tankers playing with engine fuel system too much before competition. Or... maybe if they will manage to set their tank on fire again, we will pay for that, but IDK all rules.
