Modelling armour in Ukraine crisis

Pretty impressive …

Slightly off topic and not armour, more to do with its destruction… Has Russia achieved air superiority ? Not much has been mentioned on the airside of things apart from the fictional ghost story… And I was wondering had the Ukraine Air force flown to neighboring countries or are there still active Ukraine aircraft operational and engaging… Aircraft I’m talking about, not UAVs ?

Farmers are on the case :wink: :

Fictional ghost story?

I jest, AFAIK the Russians have air superiority, but not air supremacy. The Ukrainian air force is still flying MiG-29s, at least that was as of two days ago. They have shot down a number of Russian bombers thus far.

Also, it’s worth noting that the Russian invasion force is losing helicopters to MANPADS, and more than a few of them at that. As well, as we all probably know, the Bayraktars are locking up Russian supply columns something fierce.

This has to Photoshoped…

Question for you Ukrainian armour experts out there:

Does the Ukrainian army operate the T-80U? Like the tank that RPG Model makes in 1:35 scale. I want to do something Ukrainian, after this conflict is over of course.

@Neo you should put all those pictures in a book and sell it to modellers, you could make a lot of money thay way.

Why ? Here’s the translated caption : “A Russian army military vehicle marked with the letter ‘Z’ drives past a monument featuring a Soviet-era tank in the city of Armyansk, Crimea, eastern Ukraine, Thursday, February 24, 2022 © REUTERS/Stringer

They only seemed to be using the T-80BV at the start of the war, but some russian T-80Us have been captured and may see service.

The photo with the airplane being pulled by tractors. Can a heavy plane be pulled across country?

Hi Klaus, you could make it easier and use Ukraine special forces figures in a dio as we have heaps of sf figures out there……for me I will use Seals/ SF figs and basically change out weapons for modern AK’s etc.
