German Government will send 2700 surplus SA-7 Grail MANPADS from GDR stocks. I wonder if these react to the IFF system of a Mi-24, Ka-52 or Mi-28?

@18bravo do you kniw what tgat sign says???

apparently the the sign that this person is holding was to vulgar for the American tv net work to translate.

F Putin. His words of course, not mine. :lying_face:

Is that the CNN/Ukraine version of “let’s go Brandon” in regards to Putin?

If you’re talking about the large billboard in the MT-LB picture, the first line says “Protect the future” and the second line says “Ukraine NATO Europe” in Ukrainian.

Thanks to my old friend Google Translator for the help :wink:

Exactly. A little ironic, is it not?
I have a feeing I’ll be using that somehow.

From a modeling perspective, it’s interesting how quickly those tactical markings are getting washed off.

@Stikpusher I’m not sure what you mean by “let’s go brandon”

I’m from the UK, so I’m not familiar with this American phrase.

The let’s go Brandon phrase is a much nicer way of saying something nasty regarding the current president. It started as either an intentional or unintentional misunderstanding of a crowd chant by a sports reporter at an auto race and has taken on a life of its own.

those mt-lb’s don’t seem to be doing in this conflict, breaking down, running out of fuel, or being stolen.

in other news, my trumpeter 1/35 T64-BV had arrived a day early, yay!
