Modelling armour in Ukraine crisis

I really dig the Converse Chuck Taylors:

The centre guy looks like he is carrying an RKG grenade. Known for being as dangerous to the user as the intended target due to the blast radius of the warhead EFP. The case fragmentation radius is typically further than someone’s throwing distance.

Belarusian officer speaking :

Here are the hi-tech weapons the Ukrainians could use against you, but don’t worry your trucks have been uparmored….”

Another 30 Bushmaster are going to Ukraine. That makes 90 so far. Now all we need is a new kit!!! MiniArt are you listening?

Look at the unbridled enthusiasm on their little faces… bless.

From Belarus again

Belarus just invented the cope bucket to ‘protect’ MBTs against munitions fitted with IR seekers

I guess the Russians should sue them for copyright infringement …

In Ukraine :

German TPz Fuchs FüFu?

That’s a German Fuchs, under there.

@V1kt0R , @frank
Nope, this is a Fuchs (there was a 2-axle prototype but the production version is 3-axles)
Note the difference in the metal plates shaping the front.

The French VAB 4x4 is a much better match:

Look at the door location, and blue tarp covering a wheel.

Aha!
I thought you were referring to the ones not hidden under someones collapsed garden shed.
That is definitely a Fuchs.

The original text for this image was:
Dokonale zamaskovaný německý obrněný transportér Fuchs - prakticky neviditelný i z bezprostřední vzdálenosti .
which translates to:
Perfectly masked German armored transporter Fuchs - practically invisible even from a distance.

6:th row from the top, 2:nd from the left
Conclusion: the photo, and the aerial view from 70 meters height, has nothing to do with Ukraine

The facebook page also contains this little jewel

I was in the Bundeswehr for 12 years, 8 of them as commander of the TPz Fuchs.
