Sheesh, I recall how outclassed the T 55’s were in Kuwait, and that was against M60A1’s. Maybe the idea is to have the T55’s advance, have the Ukrainians hit them, giving away the Ukranian tanks hiding spot for better tanks to engage. Can’t see what else other than a physical road block that they could be used for. Clearing paths through mine fields…
Well…they usually do not pop the turrets…
So, what’s next?

No upgrades? Ouch! You’d think they’d at least slap ERA on to give the crew a chance.
Used T55’s were for sale in excellent condition for ~$60,000 or so a few years ago. Seems likely less than the cost of one modern anti-tank missle.
Very Russian solution to use a 70 year old tank and it’s crew to hopefully take out a modern ATGM.
I guess that’s one way to protect the remaining T72’s.

I believe the one below, which is a ARV based on a recycled captured T-62, is not the same vehicle

I guess that one is the same vehicle as in the first picture. It’s based on a T-64 chassis
You can compare the shape of the open top hatches in your post pics.

That digital camo really suits the Brad. Love it.
We will be seeing loads of these in 1/35 before too long.
They are usually transported without them, arent they?
Or did I dream that?

Sometimes those in charge are a bit too zealous in doing that…
AFAIK removing the barrel of the 25mm M242 chain gun is a common practice for storage and shipping.

I understand that, but these are in theatre?
Yes, but we don’t know how far behind the lines. Also, I bet they just rolled off the trailers that are hauling them in the lower picture. All part of the RSOI (Reception, Staging, Onward movement, Integration) process.

So; what do you think? Medium Green? NATO Green? Definitely NOT Protective Green (too light)…
The digital pattern will be a breeze to replicate with Light Sand and maybe Cockpit Green (I’m talking Tamiya Colors here).

Looks NATO Green to me overall. I agree on the digital camo colors as well.
