What Russian IFV is that, picrel?It seems to have the BPPU turret.
dead is what it is
>>64195258T-14 armatard
>>64195258It looks more lie an AFV (no room for extra crew) based on the T-62 with that BPPU turret and spaced plates
ol' shitty bmp-1 basurmanin with some new armor package
>combined arms>2025never ever
>>64195258it's cute how doctored that photo is, they're clearly insecure about the fact that most of their army looks like a mid-tier african militia now.
The nice thing about current russian armor is it's bespoke nature. Each piece of scrap has been lovingly and individually restored and converted into an artistic expression of the people that turned a rusted hulk into a smekalka AFV or Battle Shed. While it will never be as good as mass produced, standardized Western equipment it has the soul found only in homo sovieticus: alcoholism, theft, half assing it, apathy, cynicism, fatalism, and the ground down misery of a slave race. True masterpieces of the modern age.
>>64195258I have to admit, I am at a loss for this one. No idea.
>>64195323actually looks like this
>>64195323I reckon its either the B-10 BTR-G Kurganets or the B-11 variantHard to say, they made about a dozen of these fucking variants and produced like, fuck I dunno, maybe half a dozen each and they're mostly just parade shit as they never really made any appreciable numbers of them. There's also a variety of different turrets and all sorts of shit hanging off them as Russia tried to put lipstick on a pig
>>64195420>>64195438
>>64195323Looks a bit large for a BMP 1 platform
>>64195258MT-LBM 6MB, a modernised MT-LB fitted with a BPPU turret and 30mm 2A72 cannon.
>>64195496Damn that might it
>>64195547Yea
>>64195300>>64195258>T-62Eh, not feeling it.
>>64195584Also it would need a big adaptor for the huge turret ring like the BMTP-62.
>>64195496So they aren't extinct in the wild. Crazy. That's like seeing a thylocine.
>>64195599The T-62 ring isn't really that big, in fact the turret of the T-62 has less internal diameter than the T-64/T-72 turrets. The reason people said it has a "big ring" is because they were comparing it with the narrow chassis it has, and the smaller ring of the T-55/54.>>64195584This anon >>64195448 is right. BMP1-AM
>>64195258>>64195448Are they even fielded in Ukraine?
>>64195615That is pretty much what i meant to say, the designers made it as large as possible for theoretical future turret upgrades. >Looks at later Nork tanksHey look, Soviet tank designers did something that actually worked as intended!>BMP1-AMThis of course begs the question; having made all those BTR-62s for Algeria why isn't that turret on a T-62 hull?
>>64195617There was one Terminator destroyed in Year 1 of the war.
>>64195608While the numbers have fell I think there will always be a sporadic MT-LB here and there.
>>64195700They gave most of them to Syria.
>>64195617I think some are on Oryx's kill list so yes
>>64196557Well if they are planning to have a post war force of 800 T-62Ms then they must have at least 800 useable hulls right......Oh wait, they really are going to be Choma'hos aren't they?
>>64195350A lot of these look like what 3 guys with a garage and lot of spare metal would come up with in a drunken stupor over the weekend. Come up with is kind of generous, they're mostly told to "up-armor" it and they just weld what they think looks best.They could have ended up in an open air museum or a show, had they not gone up in flames.
>>64195617The pic is almost certainly not from Ukraine. There are blank firing adaptors on the AKs. This a is a training/photo-op pic
>>64198693We also have to consider the placement of the vehicle and dismounts (in the open) facing to the side, and the camera person is also just standing in the open, facing them instead of what they're shooting at.In a war where anything this big that sits still is killed by drones, mortar, or arty.This is the kinda staging you do with a propaganda videos or with your miniature diorama. Not what people who have a sense of self preservation capture in combat.
>>64198818I think the blank firing adaptors are all we need to consider to show it's not a combat pic
