It’s a hillbilly armored Kamaz with a ZU-23-2 on the back. The AA gun is also “uparmored.”
I’m building just such a vehicle, but from the start of the Special Military Operation. Now that I see this I might do the hillbilly armor instead. The cover over the bed is interesting - they pull it underneath the middle bow, and then fold it back over the top of itself. Then they secure it in the front. Gonna be fun replicating that with Milliput.

By the way, I have that light green sight from the BMP in my attic.

It would be interesting to know the percentage of recovery and repair vehicles in the Russian military. How would that figure compare to say the UK or US military?

Not strictly armour, but a very effective system.

The Ukrainian defense companies have some cool designs.

does anyone know how many missiles fit inside the launch tubes on the Neptun system?

1 per tube ? is that what you meant ?

I take it the top image from HB is the transport resupply and the 4th is the real launch platform ?
