It has been correctly identified as a BAT 2 - interestingly, we had one from the Hungarian Army, complete with permanently drunk crew, attached to our Sapper unit at Banja Luka, during the IFOR operation.
I think its on a T62 chassis?
Anyway, it was useless, broke down constantly and got bogged down in any mud deeper than about 30cm.
Aha! A BAT-not-mobile …
The BAT-2 is based on the MT-T tracked cargo carrier chassis, which uses many automotive components, such as suspension and running gear, of the T-64.
H.P.
Other image, hopefully not “broken”
In 1/35th, resin, NOT cheap, …
Ah yes, i knew it was ‘T60’ something.
All I remember was it was a piece of crap, like every single piece of Russian equipment i’ve come across before or since. Utterly rubbish. I seem to remember it was easily out performed by our own Cat D6.
Finally. It’s been months since I’ve seen something else I wanted to do. I’m not sure but I may have the correct cargo truck in the stash for the conversion.
Those are actually pretty clever ideas…
Talking about the Ukraine example, I’m not sure about the concept : “camo” or “armor” ?
H.P.
I would suspect leaning more towards cam than armour…
Definitely!
Yes, but given the ease of taking out soft skins, I’d destroy everything that moves. Within the ROE of course.
Lol very true … But I think it’s safe to bet that the originators of the invasion have skipped the annual RoE training
A fuel truck is usually a more prioritised target than other trucks.
Go for the unique units first, one lost truck = one lost capability.
Take out one of 15 troop carriers = lost 1/15th of troop carrying capability
From watching videos online it seems just about every truck is a target, plus the videos from the drones is that good I think it might be a little obvious something is a bit “off” with the logging trucks.
“I wonder why there is a logging truck in the middle of that Russian convoy?
Could it be some kind of special purpose truck?
Let’s blow it up, just to make sure that it isn’t valuable any more …”
