  1. Kharkov. 2014, autumn. Shells were produced in 1979, according to serial numbers. IDK which side is on that photo. Ukrainian sailors. One of volunteers- made MRAPs. Looking not bad. BTR-3E in use by Azov neo-nazi regiment. BTR-4 and Koguar MRAP. Poroshenko and KRAZ 'made' MRAPs. KRAZ Spartan.
  2. Ukrainian MRAPs by 'KRAZ' (not exactly - they just put their logos on those things). Those vehicles are used by Ukrainian army and National Guards (Spartan in the middle and Koguar on the right are in active use), produced by Streit Group. Not very good MRAPs. Home made protected cars. Reminds me of this:
  3. I like ERA against cats and couch-to-Internet missiles. Yeah, i noticed that too. This system is too big for simple TV cameras for driver to orientate, and little bit too unusual for commander - he could have easier-to-make single panormaic sight, as you see on Merk 4s on my pics ("CAPS" - Commander Advanced Panoramic SIght). Missile/RPG launch detection system? Thermals of some sort? IDK, but that thing is used only by Israelis, at least i didn't saw anybody else with something comparable. It may be some sort of first steps in see-through-armor systems. Anyway, Merkavas are one of not many tanks that have plenty of interesting and useful add-on non-standart equipment.
  4. Nope. Thats why they are interesting for me - they don't look like any part of Meil Ruakh active protection system. And note another thing - on top of the turret those jews mounted a some kind of mast with 4 arrays of laser detectors. Look at that picture, and you will see Merkava 4 with Meil Ruakh and 2 other tanks with something similar to my previous picture. Trophy/Meil Ruakh And those "ears". Optics for commander? For Driver? Maybe for whole crew?
  5. Rebel's T-64. Some kind of early version, i guess. T-72 of rebels in Debaltsevo. From summer of 2014, Ukrainian T-64BM "Bulat" tanks.
  6. Ukrainian T-64BVs. Ukrainian T-64BM Bulat in Orlovka. Rebels T-72, from "Somali" squad. From same "Somali" unit, T-64BV named "Avatar". Rebels, IIRC 1st Slavyansk unit. Ukrainian T-72B and Gvozdika SPG.
  7. Some others pictures of our SF. SR-2M "Veresk". This is Alpha team member. You can guess what is this:
  8. Found a pictures of pages, where reasons were showed why 2 crew is better than 3 crew tank. Table 1 shows sequence of reducing number of crew. Loader, Gunner and Driver work could be automated, leaving only commander in tank. Table 2 shows number of primary and duplicating each crew member functions. Basically what is on those pages - automatisation should be based on how workload would be spread between 2 operators, and it point at need to increase speed of targets detection and making first shot. They also look at tank computer, how it will work with crew and integration of this copmuter with other tank systems. They also try to look at how to compensate lost crew member in attempt to decrease commander and driver workload by automatisation of some of commander's work, how on-board computer will present information to crew in easily understandable way and crew comfort.
  9. And not being even slightly nazi, too. "Ukraine uber alles above ALL!" Rebels trophies. Ukrainian tank near Debaltsevo.
  10. Yakutia SOBR unit in Northen Caucasus and SR-3M "Vikhr" 9x39 mm automatic carabine. Hardingush and GM-94. Chechen Spetsnaz team "Terek" prepare to competitions in Jordan. http://youtu.be/O6GQzSKn0Sk "Terek" in Jordan. http://youtu.be/NA0CIKtZM7Y St.Petersburg FSB team "Grad". Those guys 2 years ago arrested one Islamists not far from my home. http://imgur.com/a/hji6q#2eeyE1u From 1:36 you can see some interesting things. That training with "live obstructions" reminds Alpha training, which Larry filmed.
  11. Well, they already managed to destroy 3 Armata tanks, so there is no way they can lie to anybody! You see, there is 2 Russian tanks that Ukrainian forces destroyed! From 0:50 TSN shows Georgian T-72SIM in 2008 South Ossetia war 0:57 is from airsoft game in 2013 in Russia, IIRC WG was part of this game. ----------------------------------------- Adidas is supplying Ukr army with T-64s! APFSDS hit? Rebels T-72s, one was hit to the side, another, AFAIK, was immobilized by a mine. Also, waiting for screams about Kadyrov personally leading rebels, just look at frist guy. Very Chechen.
  12. Anyway, I suspect that next crew member, who will find itself outside of tank is gunner. Not any time soon, but most likely it would be him. About tank layout from Teledyne:
  13. Everybody knows that M-16 IS modified STG-44! So Soviet filmmakers made same thing that those pesky capitalists, but 1000 times cheaper and it was more reliable!
  14. Automatization. Loader work was first to be automated, according to Soviet tank designers calculations next should be gunner work. IIRC they thought that driver and commander work is hardest to give to non-human systems to do as reliably as human can.
  15. You may find it funny, but in one certain country guy with M-16 was a real bad guy.
  16. IDK. Maybe antenna can move to proper position just before launch? Because launching a missile from turret reat and than make it do strange turns is little bit strange for me.
