    Pretty neat close up look at Sovremennyy-class destroyer.
     
    one of the guest of the show a former commander of the ship mention (take it with a grain of salt) that the main gun was able to shoot a P-15 termit cruise missile using the AK-630 FCS, cool to know the interchangebilty of the system

    I've gotten really good at fixing messed up scans, and cleaning up old images. I have a system to the simple ones can be done in like 10  to 15 minutes. The complicated ones depend on how many extra things I want to label, and how bad the original was. 
     
    Bad scan
     
    FIxed
     
    A few more GAA things. I'm going to redo all these one more time.

    From IDEX-2021 - what looks like updated model of that HIFV first demonstrated on IDEX-2019 (VN-50?) - now with somewhat different turret
    No luck for me in finding better pictures, even using Chinese and Arabic. And unfortunately with nothing but rather slow phone at my reach, I can't use Topaz Gigapixel or other means to increase resolution and quality.

    Yes this is just part of a cooperation program between the ROKA and the defense companies from South Korea. The bits of equipment being tested aren't intended to be adopted by the ROK.
     
     
    (Machine Translated) 
    "The Defense Acquisition Program Administration (Director Wang Jung-hong) announced on the 7th that the Army and three defense export companies have signed a military pilot operation agreement for export weapons systems and will start pilot operations this month.
     
    The pilot operation system of the export weapons system is a defense export support system that the South Korean military provides operating performance after piloting the weapons system developed for export purposes for a certain period of time."

    Some detail photos of the Hanwha Tigon.
     
    The ROK Army has currently two units operating, for a limited time, the Tigon to provide feedback both operationally and technically to Hanwha. This also extends to other export focused offerings by South Korean defence companies.

    Looks like model is finished. Keep in mind that part of it is most likely just a guesswork.

    Scolopax reacted to Beer in StuG III Thread (and also other German vehicles I guess)   
    Panthers were replaced by T-34. Bergepanthers were replaced by VT-34. One Bergepanther was even rebuilt to use engine from T-34. Our T-34 were officially withdrawn in 1992 (believe it or not but it's true, roughly 100 stayed for some reason till 1990'). Even Syria refused to buy our Panthers while they bught all our Pz.IV and StuG.III instead. That covers just our country but it's still telling. 
     
    T-34 keep fighting in Yemen and Africa in 2020... 
     
    Aaaand... Rusia built a whole new T-34 batallion in 2020

    I didn't know that but one of the IS-2 of Lešany muzeum (4 pieces) is actually an early IS-122 with screw breach and thinner frontal armor. The tank went through many battles including Odra-Vistula offensive and Prague operation. After the war it was used by Czechoslovak army till 1949. It spent most of its life as a memorial in Přelouč town but in 1990 it was moved to muzeum and in 2014 restored to working condition. 
     
    Photos including some curious details from the restoration (like broken torsion bar) are here. 
     
    The tank can be seen moving for example in this video @ 19:00 and 19:55.

    It's one of four "T-80UDs" (actually T-84s or something close to that) that were supplied to the US by Ukraine. They arrived at Aberdeen in Dec 2003, first publicly shown in the summer of 2004...
