Decoy?
Good looking decoy if it is one …
… or anything left of the tarmac…
I was just about to say that. Looks like a well-made decoy of a Tunguska AA system.

Thats a solid image.
never seen those markings (triangle with 2 lines) before https://twitter.com/ralee85/status/1496185947767156739 It’s from efore the invasion, the only markings I saw for the russian army so far are the Z,V,O and triangle with a O in the middle. I wonder if this marking wasn’t changed before the invasion started because I haven’t seen much pics of tanks with it.
Got this today.
It’s going to be pretty much OOB, no thrills or spill’s and built as a semi submerged Russian wagon in a fording that went very wrong Dio.

Same tank I guess…
Another view of the dug-in tank I’ve posted yesterday :

I recognize that US 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment patch anywhere. TOJOURS PRET (Always Ready).
Also, that T-72AMT is fitted with a KMT-7 Mine roller.

Are you sure ? Check out the roadwheels. The caption says it’s a T-72AMT…

Gepard’s have proven effective against low-flying targets in modern warfare. I think that the Bundeswehr hurried by decommissioning them and they will reconsider their attitude towards these anti-aircraft guns.

Not a decoy, a training target mounted on a trailer that is much cheaper to build, yet very effective for training our “friends.”
It has heat generators and enough metal in the right places to create fairly accurate heat and radar signatures.
You can see some of the innards here:

Very interesting; we’ve come a long way from the old Plywood silhouette targets I was used to seeing at the range.
