Some more interesting things from Lybia. 

Chinese Dahua DHI-UAV-D-1000JHV2 anti-UAV gun with LNA

Ramains of RIM-66E missile allegedly fired by a Turkish frigate against LNA/UAE UAV.

L-39NG started flight envelope testing. Short video is bellow. So far the top speed M0,8 and the ceiling 11580 meters was confirmed (top speed achieved in the testing was M0,822). In the same time on the ground they finished destructive tests of the fuselage and first level of wing testing (full destruction of the wing is yet to be performed). 

Another Bayraktar TB2 shot down by LNA.

As far as I know, Hungary has a T-72A, but this is a T-72M. May be they got this T-72 from Poland with Hungary transit. idk.

No, IMO Hungary had T-72M and some M1. Most of them were sold or donated to Iraq few years back.

why does the text talk about Hungary? Hungary did not produce them. And the tank at the photo is Polish, apparently

Because they got the tank/tanks from Hungary I presume. 

My way of social distancing applied today (waking up at 4 a.m. was hard though). North-western Bohemia, near the motorway Prague - Dresden. I didn't meet a single person...   

Ist das offizielle information? 

That would mean the Bill was rather useless... 

A view inside the Luftwaffe MEDEVAC A-310 (preparing to load Italian patients).

A helmetcam footage of a French foreign legion patrol in Mali.

Last few days of anti-air war in Lybia be like this...

First LNA "shot down" a drop tank from a Mirage 2000 of its allies just to be countered by GNA shooting down its own Bayraktar Mini drone.

   T-34-85s repaired in St.Petersburg. I think some of them are those Czech tanks that we got from Laos.

They are definitely post-war production. I don't know how post-war Soviet produced vehicles exactly looked like but these all look just like those I know from our museums here - they have T-55 headlights and much higher manufacturing quality than the rushed WW2 ones (steel plates cutting, welding etc.). 

Because the top is a recent picture of the T-90M being prepared for the parade and the lower picture is probably old one of the export T-90SM - at least I presume. There are more differences. The first ERA segment next to the gun has different order of the top and bottom tile for example. 

Ups

Nice photo of Antonov crew after another arrival in Shenzen four hours a go.

That's some accuracy. 

LNA captured damaged ACV-15 (first time). HEAT hit is easily visible.

By the way, is there a difference between M-84AB1 and AS? or the difference is only in the name?
I remember that the "AS" has a panoramic sight over the main sight. But "AB1" - not

I don't know. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can answer that. 

It's not T-90A. That's a fact. Can You see that it does not have T-90A turret? 

It is T-84AB1. It's the same thing as on this photo from Serbian expo (with few small details being different on the particular display tank).

T-90 A.

No, clearly not. 

Drag race between M3A3 Stuart and Ha-Go. The result isn't suprising 

A correction because finally the airlift looks somewhat different. At least three An-124 flights will take place (it looks like both Antonov and Volga-Dnepr) and three fligts per week for at least six week by China Eastern A-330. Today first A-330 arrived and the An-124 is loading in Shenzen now. 

Yes, that's what I thought - it's an improved S inferior to the M.

Does the T-90M retains all features of the T-90MS or some of them have been omitted for cost saving reasons ?

I always thought the export MS was inferior to the domestic M. Correct me if I'm wrong but for example M shall have the new 2A82 gun from T-14 (with added fume extractor) while the MS has old 2A46M gun like the A and S.

Yes, agree, but the tanks and the philosophy is so different that direct comparison is difficult. The side armor of late T-series tanks cover no ammo, it has much smaller area and it's so angled that it can't be hit from frontal 60°arc. IMO the turret side armor of Abrams or Leopard was not made for stopping direct side attack either but it had to be stronger because unlike in T-series the turret sides can be hit from the frontal arc and there is a lot of ammo behind it. 

A question to WH98. What's the point of not using full diameter for the warhead size and why is the second warhead smaller than the first one?
