Using modified LCV utility vans with 7.62mm PKT machine gus
Manned by the finest twink conscripts, the ones doing mandatory national service, not the mobilized ones
Pride of the russian air defense, with drone detection devices and shit
Looking forward to a new batch of Ukie drone videos targeting these specifically.
>>65121327>>65121328>>65121330Huh ?!
>>65121327are those marshrutkas?
>>65121355It's a Gazelle LCV platform made by GAZ, it has both fully enclosed cargo minivan variants, passenger variants (used by cheap marshrutkas) and these partially enclosed cargo variants.
>>65121327>>65121328>>65121330>>65121338>Looking forward to a new batch of ukie drone videos targeting these specifically.imagine the sheer terror the sight of a van must evoke in them
>>65121327>>65121328>>65121330Second army in the world, everyone...
>>65121327>>65121328>>65121330>>65121330The more things change the more things remain the same.
>>65121445Will we ever get horse-drawn tachanka again, or are the horses too badly needed for frontline cavalry and supply duties?
>>65121351Who cares, it's just a few planes. They make 100 new ones every month.
>>65121327So we'll be seeing tens of thousands of these right? Spread out to protect all the important infrastructure? Surely it's not yet another propaganda piece that will be forgotten in a week. Surely they'll actually stop embezzeling all the funds meant for projects like this. Surely this time the smegkalka will work.
>>65121359>made by GAZ>transmission falls apart after few thousands kilometers . russia never change , please .
>>65121540Your embezzelment wonder weapon project is dual HMG mini vans, a welder, and prayers.GRIM.
>>65121540Rule of thumb with pozzian propaganda: if you see X amount of stuff, that's all they actually have.
>>65121603Makes you wonder how many functioning Tu-160's they really have...
>>65121603Except in cases where they’re showing a moving procession of stuff, they’re most likely just turning around the corner to be shown again.
>>65121483Rates these niggers are losing stuff they'll be lucky to have the wheel in 2030
>>65121528>the country who is being invaded by it's far larger, far richer and far more military dense neighbour is hitting targets 1,700km from the border into the invaders territory 4 years into the warIt's a fucking embarrassment for moskals everywhere and I LOVE it
>>65121330>>65121327>>65121328Something they should have done years ago but with a 12.7 or KPV.
>>65121327>New>>65121540>So we'll be seeing tens of thousands of these right?It's news from october last year. Drone attacks only ramped up since then. Also check out these sights.
>Deployed to defend refineries inland >Bayonets Why?>Bayonets in 2026Why?
>>65121582It's orders of magnitude better than it was before in USSR and early 90s once they've a) stopped trying to do everything themselves and b) decided that enough is enough and started using different suppliers, even if they had to import the parts. But the whole LCV line is a product of the market economy transformation of the 90s for them, since Volga's stopped bringing in profits and they quickly identified an empty niche in the local market and whipped up something for it.
>>65121327 >>65121328>>65121330fucking war boys looking niggas
>>65121697>BayonetsTo poke the public with if they get too close to air defence positions.It's not unreasonable really, Ukies surely have all sorts of spies running around and the conscripts won't just shoot random babushkas so a sharp point to keep people back is more practical.
The combination of crudely constructed vehicles and underdeveloped boy soldiers resembles the final stages of a war.
I was wondering when the ziggers would get to the shitty technicals stage as well, but I never expected them to field a fat shitty technical.
it's over
>>65121327The Russian wunderwaftle has arrived! Soon the bear will emerge from its cave and raise its bear eyebrow and everybody will understand everything!
>>65121797And the eggs? WHAT ABOUT THE EGGS?
>>65121764Chechians got these same vehicles first a couple years ago. Might even be the same ones.
>>65121327Seems like a good idea half assed

>>65121726>war goysfixed
>>65121684Just realized something about these shitboxes, some of them don't even have those crude sights.Are they really in that much of a desperate position that they can't put together even those on all of them? picrel
>>65121973Rounds per minute from MG 81Z twin mount. Weights the same as PKM but 3000 RPM vs 1400 RPM of twin mount.
>>65121359Huh, for some reason I thought GAZelle was out of production.Some of them use a puccia made version of the old Chrysler Neon engine, doubtlessly acquired around the same time they bought the entire line for the Stratus/Sebring, to be sold as the Volga Siber.Small world
>>65123928Maybe the fully enclosed ones are no longer in production? They had a ton of stuff happen, to the point of making new generations of those shitboxes and even buying some defunct British (?) LCV maker to upgrade their shit. Generally GAZ was way more sane about long-term future since mid 2000s, which included the whole Volga Siber project and so on, they were unlucky that they've finally made it when the 2008 economy shitfest happened. This killed any potential success it could have had. AFAIK they've planned to launch it earlier, but had issues with making the US machinery setup and such. P.S: the Chrysler inline 4 engines from Mexico were initially acquired as an option for both Gazelle vans and classic Volga cars as a way to hedge the bets against their domestic engine supplier (the ZMZ company), which made shit and wanted to increase prices too often with no improvements to the actual engines. The retards at ZMZ thought that they had GAZ by the balls and they were bluffing about using foreign engines, but they were wrong. Those Chrysler engines made the GAZ shitboxes like 5-10x more reliable lmao, to the point that a Gazelle would usually rust away before the engine would go bad.
>>65123928Modern production katalog of GAZhttps://quto.ru/gaz>>65123928
>>65123957>British (?)Is right. You're thinking of LDV.Brief, odd little van company stitched up from BL and DAF leftovers, and maybe a few odds and ends more.Gaz bought them and ran it as a subsidiary for a bit then shut it down to chuck it all to the Chinese in '09 save what they found choice.
>>65121327I keep looking at this image and finding more hilarious stuff in it. Pic rel, is that a fucking converted UAZ in the back there? Hilarious that they know how shit it looks as they didn't include it in any of the other images. Now I NEED to see that shitbox in its full converted glory.
>>65123992Looks like there's another loaf almost entirely off-screen too.Coinflip on if this is an intended variant from the start they didn't think would look good in a propaganda shoot or a "fuck fuck we don't have enough of the actual van to meet the deadline" situation they very much do not want to draw attention to.
>>65124558Somebody here said that a good rule of thumb for ziggers showing mil gear is that if they include it in a photo, that is all they actually have. This seems to support that so I'm going that they didn't actually have enough of these GAZ vans. Fuckin' comedy show as always.
>>65124621It's not that they don't have enough vans - these shitboxes are in fact in production and available in open market. The issue is that almost everything done in russia is done for PR, propaganda and image reasons. Nobody cares about actual result as long as things look good on paper. This is the cornerstone of how pretty much everything worked in the USSR. So, coming back to this situation, here you're seeing some retard getting an order to "settle the issue of protecting stuff from drones", so the retard does the following: allocates some funds to buy a handful of vans, gets some conscripts, gets a number of machine guns and some chink-tier drone detector devices and then does a photo op of all this, which can then be published in media and attached to the report that "measures were taken". Nobody cares that this squad can probably "protect" just a single refinery, if at all (training? what training lmao).
>>65124644You're probably right, but with how proud these retards are of their smekalka, I'd just expect them to just use the loafs for the job and then brag about how practical and genius it is. It's mostly the same thing anyways.
Where have all the ZPU gone?
>>65124658>>65121677It could be supply poverty but I'm going to guess it's either needing it + ammunition to be lighter than the larger MGs or worry over stray bullets.Both of which would be non issues if this entire situation was less crashingly ghetto
>>65121330Whats with the writing on the windscreen? You can see it on the other images also>>65123583
>>65124684Looks like just numbers
>>65124684Seems to be just numbers, probably an at attempting to keep an inventory of them. Why the fuck write it on the windows is a mystery, but as has been established many times, these are grade A retards we're talking about so a log book is probably lost tech for them.Though they may also just be from the manufacturing, think car manufacturers usually write that stuff on windows as it's easy the most noticeable and easy to remove spot.
>>65121327this is the kinda shit id expect from the indian army

>>65125078Might as well say fuck it and just try to aim with tracers only, I feel like those "sights" just distract you.
