I found a good inspiration for my what if T90A using the meng kit, it’s the T90A 413 (with all its plate, fuel tank and tools for the what if), do pics showing the other side exist or I can speculate?

Thanks for your answers!
This could be a good modeller opportunity Ukraine sets up "parade" of destroyed Russian equipment on Kyiv’s main street

Is this a picture of a T 80 with the dazzlers? Check the roadwheel spacing.

[Bison126]

This is a Ukrainian T-84.

Yes, it’s a T-84U Oplot. It belongs to the 3rd Separate Tank Brigade.

Hardly, these MP40s are non firing replicas from soft metal, one giveaway is the sling eye on the wrong side. They are common in Europe.

[barnslayer]

Why would anyone but a re-enactor carry a non-functional replica?

[Karl187]

The MP40 could conceivably have been used or in use in Ukraine, those photos aside. There were examples being used in the Syrian Civil War and in the Ukraine we have seen the Soviet DP-28 and even Russian versions of the Maxim gun which began production before WW1.

[Naseby]

They are posing, the one guy has obviousely an akm on his back. Thy would a US Marine pose with a PPSH in Bagdad ?

Loving the shots of tanks being “Bombed Up”; rather different to the box-top illustrations one sees.

I would guess he found a souvenir. A real PPSH. Who the heck in Iraq bothers with replicas?
I would not expect either situation to produce a replica.
