Depends on the type of bullet …
1/8 inch will not stop rifle bullets.
Unscientific “backyard” testing but it was the first video I found
It might stop the 9 mm bullets from the Swedish K-Pist M 45 / M45B (essentially a beefed up pistol)
Another test with other type of ammo.
Quarter inch plate …
I go fishing a little bit in Amish country. Right outside of Moscow!! () The younger ones are very polite, but also shy. The teenagers are a lot like any other teenager. Yet they all have one trait. They are not afraid of work! All that I’ve crossed paths with just seem to be good people. Girls are kinda funny (teenagers). Kept away from the boys as much as possible (smart). Yet they are a lot like the boys as they are always checking out the opposite sex. For the most part they are a very peaceful group, but things do go astray every once in awhile. Watching them on a date is a trip!
Morgenthau is a black eye on the western world.

well it’s now confirmed that the Russians are actually using slat armor. Is that a BTR4?

the good old “K Gun”! So they are still around. Reminds me a lot of the MP40 and one Ruger made a run of. SOG used them a lot

They were around when I wore green clothes in 1985-1986,
I think they are all gone now, switched out for the AK 5. The last ones were used by the Home Guard (sort of National guard units) and were phased out in 2007
Some are around in some shooting associations, special rules apply, must belong to the elite level in competition target shooting

Amazing people those Ukrainians …
Another tank driven by Ivan
Sleeping it off in the ditch? Bridge too narrow? Swerved to avoid a pot-hole? Steering clutches seized up due to non-existent maintenance?
Ukrainians:
Love Animals - Hate Russians…
Probably a very tired driver during the night.
Double vision from vodka. Gotta pick one of the two bridges you’re seeing. Choose poorly… end up in the water.
Frenchy is going to make me get out my Trumpeter BMP-1.
Rob is going to make me get out my XACT GAZ Tigr.
54 seconds of burnt iron,
reference material for those who want to show knocked a out and burned tracked something,
SP howitzer???
I can’t tell what it used to be before becoming something that used to have been
Something must have exploded …

Could be they were under fire?
Driving / orienteering buttoned up, just using periscopes can be very misleading. Its a skill crews need to learn & practice.
Learn and practice, indeed …
send conscripts to fight in a war
using poorly maintained tanks. Clever tactics …
I bet they learned something, maybe they even
lived to remember it
Up until now WW2 armour was the go to for kits and dioramas. I wonder how much of a shift there will be to Ukraine kits and dioramas.
Frenchy it’s a pity you haven’t a folder full of these images. I would pay a few dollars for a copy of all the images.
On a different note:
The Ukraine going to be a very polluted place after the Russians loose.
See what I did there?
All kind of leaking fluids from the vehicles, UXO everywhere, dead bodies. All very unhealthy…
And that’s just direct military issues, not including all the very significant issues w/ the damages in the cities.
The “O” on the turret…
