It packs a hell of a punch for something so small, and makes a loud as f**k bang going off next to your head!! If the warhead has gone between the wheels i can really see it triggering internal fuel.

Has anyone seen water bottles and/or water boxes on Russian vehicles in Ukraine? I would like to add some to my “Winter Harvest” tractor/BMP diorama, but am not sure they are using them.

Thanks for the explanation. I understand your point. I tend to have less stable grip, the further my hands are from my body.
Upper gets hot, lower not so much
With my AK’s you only have one place to put your support hand. When I qualified with the M-14 (Navy - Marksmanship ribbon) 18bravo’s description is what they taught me (Marines did the training)
Cheers
Now days one doesn’t take responsibility for ones own decisions but rather blames someone else. So in that basis I have to blame someone other than me for my choice of kits.

The old wood foregrip on my AK was like holding a cutting torch. Changing out was mandatory.
Pretty sure I’ve seen large water bottles on their vehicles- the 5 litre variety with the carry handle that lets you carry it upright.
I think that’s awesome.

Quit horsin around. Now I’m “Triggered” 
This would make a great decal set. You have Fury, The bold yellow and blue and the not the same color painted out previous owners writing on the sides.

If an ancient 'Charlie Guts ache ’ can take out a T-90, not only would I be impressed, I’d be Sh**ing blue bricks if I was a Russian in one… imagine what something a tad more modern would do to the ride…
It is still essentially the same weapon, but updated and improved considerably.

The original design may be old but it has been evolving and improving.

- FFV551 is the primary HEAT round and is a rocket-assisted projectile (RAP). Effective range is up to 700 m (400 m against moving targets) and penetration up to 400 mm of RHA. Ammunition weight is 3.2 kg and muzzle velocity is 255 m/s.[34]
- FFV552 is a practice round with the same ballistics as the 551.
- FFV651 is a newer HEAT round using mid-flight rocket assistance for ranges up to 1,000m. In theory, it has less penetration than the FFV551, but it includes a stand-off probe for the fuse to improve performance against reactive armour.
- HEAT 655 CS (Confined Spaces) “high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) round that can be fired by the 84 mm Carl Gustaf recoilless weapon from within small enclosures.”[36][35]
- FFV751 is a tandem-warhead HEAT round with an effective range of 500 m and ability to penetrate more than 500 mm of armour. Weight is 4 kg.[34]

There’s not much “imagine” left really. If anything has come from this war is that it has shown up the major design flaw of carousel autoloaders. I know the Armata is new and the crew not in the turret, however if it has the same type of autoloader system I don’t think it will matter where in the vehicle you are when it goes up.
Speaking of the Armata does anyone else think it just looks like a lengthened jazzed up T90/T80 hull?
it probably is a jazzed up T-90 if you follow Russian tank technology
