That Oryx blog has all equipment itemized by type and photo. As of the time of this post they had counted photos of 30 BMP-1Ps as destroyed, damaged, abandoned, or captured.

I have the old Dragon BTR-70 model 1986 Afghanistan kit. I would like to use that for a Ukrainian BTR-70.

Looking at the pictures it looks similar. Does anybody know if that will work?

Could it be these are intended for the Polish army and they in turn will send their Soviet designed equipment to the Ukrainians ? That was my understanding of how the proposed F-16 & Mig 29 transfer is envisioned.

There is something melted in a puddle (modern art?) under the front of
an MTLB. Has something made of aluminium melted and dripped through a hole???

It’s interesting seeing from Neo’s images of the arty, and what you say that the line seems to be getting crossed now by countries supplying offensive weapon platforms now, so I wonder if Ghengis Putin will up the ante now in response … And also throw in that Finland and Sweden possibly are looking to join NATO… Potentially things could heat up quickly …
On a side note, I think I’m going to have to copy these images from this thread and put in a folder … There’s so much good reference material here …

Little known fact:
Zoro is Russian for Zero. It refers to their chance of winning…

Yes, it will work. Just leave off the turret top grenade launcher and water tank. The spare tire is optional. As are the firing ports that aim upwards on the sides behind the turret.

Here’s a few

I sure hope so. I’ve got the same kit, along with the Ukrainian UN version. Depending on your level of AMS you’ll want to redo the hinges on all of the hatches. They’re not well done.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. Especially for the pictures. Nice to have two types of pixel camo to choose from.

That will be my entry into the eight wheeler campaign. :+1:t2::slightly_smiling_face:

It seems the Czech Dana’s made it to Ukraine. There is a short video on twitter of them training. I do not know if the video is real or not, but the video do show the “old” Dana. This means the hobby boss kit should still work.

@petbat, you are scaring me with all the corrections in the photos :wink: I will probably use a lower ban when building mine :slightly_smiling_face:
