  1. UAZ 300 (1949) - prototype of afterwar truck. NATI-ZiS - a 1930s prototype of bus for Crimea and Caucasus resorts. NATI-VM (GAZ-VM), 1936.
  2. ZiL-4102 - 1988, the last "Chlenovoz" (joke name for cars made for high-ranked politicians and officials, "Chlen" in russian can meen "Member" and in other context - "Dick", while "voz" point at a fact that this vehicle carry those Dicks Party Members).
  3. Racing ZiL 112/4 with plastic body, 1957. Some models reached 230 km/h max speed.
  4. YaG-12. 1932 Ya-5 "Kodzhu" - first soviet diesel truck. Was made in 1933, serial production was planned, but plant was re-orientated to planes.
  5. Fresh photo of the T-14 and T-15. Turret service hatch is open, BTW. It might be preparations for RAE 2015, but there is no accurate information on that.
  6. Ansar Allakh sending a gift to Saudi Arabia navy base. With help of 9K79 "Tochka" ("Point"). This is first footage of Tochka used by Shiites forces in Yemen, earlier only 9K72 "Elbrus" were used. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apWoEaF09BU
  7. Medium Caliber Cannons Effectiveness vs Urban Targets http://warfaretech.blogspot.ru/2014/03/medium-caliber-effectiveness-vs-urban.html And more about this subject http://www.dtic.mil/ndia/2012armaments/Thursday13673Voorde.pdf
  8. So any news from joint French-German tank-company producers? Any hint about their new project?
  9. That MERA...i like this name It is 2-piece device where both parts are equally important. As i understood explosives creates a shockwaves and vibration in ballistic part, that increase it's ability to fuck up HEAT jets and APFSDS (i guess). So, Object 477 could load it's 8-shots autoloader only when turret was in -+20 degrees arc to hull.
  10. APS is not better than passive armor, they are not a same thing. APS adds a layer of protection, but it simlly can't replace actual armor. Kurganets-25 got big side armor modules with ERA or NERA, Bumerang don't have APS at all. T-15 have protection level higher than any previous tank in Russian Army, so it don't rely on APS for protection. And Zaslon APS is crap.
  11. Afganit is what i call inderect energy weapon/APS :-D Malakhit is not "better Relikt", it is other way around. Armata still use ERA, because each module still have explosives in it, but their new ERA is blend between conventional ERA and NERA.
  12. Malakhit was pre-Relikt ERA for Object 187 tanks, it is old model of ERA (20+ years) that never was produced. I don't know why your source attached old ERA with news about new tank and it is not like Malakhit is better than Relikt, so there is no reason to use it instead of Relikt. Moreover, UGP Armata is equipped with new ERA design (if it is ERA), name of wich is unknown. For any other Armata-related question we have a thread dedicated to UGP Armata called "GLORIOUS T-14 ARMATA PICTURES".
  13. That Shmaiser looks like MP-40! Such terrible cosplay.
