Modelling armour in Ukraine crisis

@SSGToms is the T90MS being used there?

I have not seen any. Doesn’t mean they are not there but there of course!

To whit I did a snap order of the new Zvezda T-62 from Latvia, to make sure I can get one. I have no idea how long Zvezda is going to be available either…

Since their production facility is not in any immediate danger of being indiscriminately rocketed, I’d venture that they’ll be around for quite some time. There’s another T-62 from Latvia on eBay right now for the smokin’ price of $21.30 plus $20.00 shipping. That’s hard to beat.

Yes, they will be around (minus any local economy issues) but the rest of the world having access might be a different story. If it’s the same Latvia guy I just used, they have stated they are not going to sell anymore Zvezda kits. Once the current supply of kits going around the world dries up or overpriced who knows when things calm down. Some media have reported that government officials are briefed on a long conflict. The longer it goes the harder it will be to get Russian modeling items from companies listed here Ukrainian/Russian modeling companies and who knows if we will see UA company products ever again. Keeping this to our world of things as both sides have more important life concerns.

did you catch the cell phone conversation between a young kid and his Mother? Heart breaking, but have seen the same crap shoot many times over. He told his Mom that they said it was an exercise and would be over shortly. The kid ended up KIA, and now his Mother weeps. The UN Ambassador presented it at the UN in NYC.

wait till they learn to dismantle an HE round and scoop out the TNT or whatever they are now using.

Yeah. I saw that. Broke my heart. Just a kid sent on an “exercise”.
An undemocratic state never tells its subjects the truth and never the reasons
behind their actions. “Just you jump out of the truck and shoot those evil nazis over there”
“But sir, those are women and children?!?” “Shoot the d*mn nazis or your mother goes to Siberia”

they have been doing similar stuff for life times. Foolish old men and Generals don’t die, it’s the 19 year old kid. If he lives thru it, then he’ll die a long death when the ghosts come by for a visit. Trust me they have the keys to your mind and your home

A question for the knowledgeable!!!
If satellites can read a vehicles number plate then surly they have a clear picture of what is happening. Like information that backs up the ‘many’ reports of abandoned vehicles. Does the USA, UK etc etc etc know more than what is being told? If so why don’t they either confirm or dispel many of the social media stories?
Works both ways. Russia and China also have access to satellites.

So what are we being told and what do they want us to believe?

We would get the truth if the media’s primary mission was to tell it.
