This is a T-80BV, the T-64 has smaller road wheels with no dish to them.

Every army needs medics/corpsman. While that kit is the closest available in 1/35 I think the vehicle type is UAZ-3962, the big internal difference is no wall for handing stretchers.

The Russian automobile industry were always design trendsetters

The saying is “Form follows function”. In this case is it a bodily function? Because that car sure looks like

The front of the Bukhanka looks like a face and with those blackout
driving lights it looks as if someone has punched it in the eyes so
that they are swollen shut.

Wow @Frenchy- those are some interesting pictures! Two of the trucks with the improvised armour appear to be carrying pontoon bridge sections- can anyone with more knowledge of such things confirm or deny?

It literally looks like someone welded together two different cars…

It is pontoon bridges, center sections ffrom the look of it.

Can be carried by various truck chassis.
