Yeah, that’s why they took our tanks away… .Haven’t talked about the sabot through the berm yet… ![]()
I set my back deck clearance switch to one inch above the travel lock (when it is in the down position). However the travel lock was left in the upright position so the clearance switch did not come into play.
Travel lock in the up position.
I see a rumour that the USA is “considering” sending some A10 Warthogs. The key word is RUMOUR. But it was on the internet so it must be true.
But hey think of the possible carnage of wrecked equipment is may bring!!
Captured Russian BTR-82A with added thermal weapons sight (TWS) and extra armor :

its confusing enough at times just looking at images and sometimes not knowing which side is in what vehicle … I wonder what the tally of blue on blue has been up to now ?
News report over here that the Russians run out of Surface-to-Surface missiles. They rather use S-300 and S-400 SAM in this role. I wonder if a SAM can be used against ground targets or do they just shooting blind?
At least the SA-11 Gadfly has ground to ground capabilities.

@fromSalekhard i am glad the crew survived.
can any one tell me if the front wheels on a Russian BMP-3 have rubber on them or do they have a metal finish
I am not familiar with modern military equipment. Here is a selection of photos on the BMP-3 - there is clearly metal (and this is logical), although the skating rink is of a different type than yours.

You believe that ?
@Naseby yes i am glad both pilots are safe, i wish this whole disastrous bloody fiasco was over.
while this war gives our community more subjects to model and practice our skills i don’t this worth the lives all the people who have been killed.
it’s the 21st century, we should have found a better way to solve our problems than blowing each other to buggery.
that’s my tuppence worth.
