    Your cages should be 0.9 of ball diameter to be able to stop it without making it 'pop'. Even then, you have 50% chance to stop ball from entering spectators places, which will create all sorts of havoc between football fans like fist battles for a Messi's ball(s).

    Oplot-BMs in Ukraine, first one is September 2014 photo. Still, not a single one was spotted in battle. T-64BM1M (T-64s for Kongo) T-64BM1M in hands of neo-Nazi Azov regiment of Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs. Rebel's T-72, i think it is BM/Obr.1989 version.

    One question that interest me - can you make turreted tank smaller and lighter than T-64, while crew heights limitations are same?

    "Comrade, i am too lazy to reload my PKM. No problem, comrade! Here is 250 round box for you!" Rebels with moded GP-25. http://youtu.be/-3SAh1_VPS4

    Dragunov's MA compact automatic carabine. AN-94 - what happens inside when you insert a mag.

    RUSSIA STRNG Sprut-SD is VDV TD. Khrizantema is pure missile TD.

    Although it have magical runes "FCK PTN" which gives +100 attack against Russian Chechen Spetsnaz Armies. "Cage armor" is not reliable.

    To hell all that crappy music. Here is one and only Soviet band that people here like to listen even today.

    Sorry for late answer, but yes, rifles will be tested further. They only got through first 'stage' - testing by state commission in 2014. Second 'stage' would happen this year, and it will be Army field tests. Currently, both AK-12 and A-545 are not adopted by Russian Army. AK-12 did not got state funding because Kalashnikov screwed up something with documents, but AK-12 was tested by state commission anyway. Development of AK-12 was covered by company funds.

    More recent events - Rebels assault on Uglegorsk, 3 tanks got hit by AT mines. Ukrainian tank in Uglegorsk.

    Interesting - are those things at lower part of turret GL for smoke grenades or some kind of APS? Also:

    From 2 weeks ago - Ukrainian tanks counterattack on rebels position after they captured Donetsk airport. This is "Wolfs" tank, it was hit by APFSDS round. Another tank (left part of photo) under Putilovskiy bridge (pretty deep in rebel territory). Tank was moving to Donetsk, and rebels had a checkpoint under that bridge. Ukrianian T-64BV (with "Wolfs" inscription) with APFSDS hit mark. AFAIK projectile did not manage to penetrate, although tank was abandoned by crew, wich was captured later and showed to journalists. http://youtu.be/Hy24ud415-I

    Ukrainian BTR-3E hull with new turret and 90 mm gun. Anyway, compared to BMP-1 and 2 BMP-64 have much better frontal armor, that can survive older RPG-7 HEAT grenades hits. Sides are still not very good, although they are better protected than usual "paper+ cage armor". They will need plenty of time to start production of that thing. At least they have a mock-up made before Ukrianian civil war to show! They also use Kontakt-5 instead of their stupid Nozh ERA. #USSRWINS Althoug, they don't have enough of Kontakt-5 to protect their tanks.

    http://rg.ru/2015/01/28/avtomat.html Well, according to this information AK-12 was not adopted. Translation with my edits. "......As very informed military-industrial complex expert told us, Kovrov started works on new carabine using AEK-971 as a base (automatic carabine with balanced recoil). Izhevsk just did not had time to prepare relevant documents to obtain public funding for the new machine. Therefore, the AK-12 was created with the money of the company, as people say, "on their own initiative"." "As a result, two samples were presented to the State Commission: A-545 by Kovrov and AK-12 by Izhevsk. All last year they were going trough state trials." "Both weapons showed approximately the same characteristics, although the A-545 had greater accuracy ["groups"]. In December 2014 tests were completed. Both designs got a number of remarks about some problems with them, and manufacturers were required to eliminate them no later than February of this year. In the Izhevsk, according to experts, the elimination of shortcomings still continues." "And even after the decision of the commission, weapons should go through a year of performance test in the Army, which surely will show new challenges for designers. So it is too early to say that the Ministry of Defence decided on adoption of new weapon for the Army." "During the work on the "Warrior" and the new complexes of small arms, military industrialists and Army representatives agreed that the AK-12, and A-545 are transitional designes towards a truly new generation of small arms weapons."

    Not music, but Tied should see this:

    There is only one way to deal with him, 1970-s Soviet style - intrigues between generals news agencies. This may end up as good as T-80U or as bad as T-80.
  21. LoooSeR
    So AK-12 won competition for a Ratnik system main assault rifle. Surprise!

    If Tied was making a music video clips:

    Not only that, but i think joints between swing arms and torsion bars, swing arms and rollers are subject to very high impact forces when roller hit a big rock or serious bump. This would at least increase wear by noticeable amount.
  24. LoooSeR
    So this torsion bars layout does not create much of problems? Does it have any downsides at all?

    T-95 also had problems with non-existent side armor. It is like Ferdi IMO - TD for long ranges with crazy frontal armor and mediocre-at-best side armor. At least it have 30 mm autocannon to defend itself from pesky infantry, unlike Ferdi with its 1 and only weapon. Although tankers had enough space to sit in that armored capsule. They had like 30 sm between crewmembers elbows! Dirty capitalists!
