sorry for the poor quality images, i did a quick screen grab from youtube.

can anyone identify these used anti-tank weapons, i think one of them in the first picture is an AT-4 but i am not sure what the other ones are.

and what are these, some kind of russian m72 law copy?

someone mention on here that the mark of Zorro means he is still here, this confirms it lol

The larger of the weapons in the 1st pic is, I think, an RGW-90 Recoilless Grenade Weapon- sometimes called the ‘Matador’.

I think the last two pics show RPG-22’s.

And if there was not enough different vehicles to model in the previous 1000 pictures, now we have this.
Person who took it said all numbers have already been painted out.

Snip from video that says its train crossing to Ukraine at Gniezno (Poland).
Somebody else said its going opposite way. But Joe B just announced he will send just this type of vehicles.

I watched that video yesterday. Looked like a battalion’s worth of SPs and support vehicles. But… that requires training for the gun bunnies on new systems and logistics to support the new stuff with ordnance and spare parts.

Edit- I looked on a map. Gniezno is west of Warsaw and quite a ways from the Ukrainian border.

Yes. Definitely.
You might have seen news where J.B. let slip:

U.S. training Ukrainian troops in Poland, Biden seems to reveal

Fixing a previous gaffe in a Monday press conference, the president appeared to let slip an undisclosed detail of the U.S. effort to bolster Ukraine’s fighting forces.

And Joe B just said yesterday that they are sending another $750 mil and it mentioned both Arty and C&C.
Coincidence ? Perhaps ?
Wont really know till when / if we see pics in action.

Wow. 1:45. Look at the dirt dragged in on those belted rounds…

Old Joe’s senility is showing every time he speaks. I do hope that the UA has had their red legs training on these things for weeks already and are up to speed on them now.

Ukrainian Technical.
With what appears to be a nice parquet floor - around 15-18 sec. mark.

Ah the classic ambush. Shoot ‘em up, sweep the area for intel and weapons, then unass the AO double quick.

Use up a bunch of the equipment that came w/ the Tamiya Modern Equipment to copy this BTR:

I predict something very similar to this, but with not quite so dynamic a pose. You know how my predictions are…

That’s a nice find above - a BMP-1P, unfortunately not offered properly in 1/35.

how do you know it’s a BMP-1P, what are the differences?

You can see the anti-radiation cladding on the turret and the front hatches. Trumpeter merely changed up the secondary armament and added the smoke dischargers on the back of the turret (missing in photo) for their kit. SP Designs does offer an upgrade for Trumpeter’s kit. I don’t know if Trumpeter added the additional firing ports but my thought is that they did not. This may be the first photo I’ve seen of a BMP-1 of any flavor used by the Russians. I’m sure there are others, but I can’t see them all, especially if viewing destroyed vehicles. Not enough time in the day for that.
