I hope they have a roll-cage inside.
With all that extra steel plate it will be top heavy
and in danger of rolling in the first sharp corner.

Just by looking at this shipping label; I knew the tank was heading to APG for analysis by the ATEC people. They’ll go through it thoroughly to se what advantages (if any) and disadvantages (most likelty a lot) it has over our M1A2 Abrams.

It seems Mr John Phelps has a great set of walkaround pictures that I’d love to see.

That does look like something that you’d find in a third world country… or a dystopia future movie…

Firstly I’m not a welder, however even I think I could do better than that! Also I have no idea what thickness that plating is, however it can’t be too thick as I understand those vans are underpowered anyway but I’ve seen 7.62 penetrate a surprisingly think plate!! Rather them than me.

Welcome to ‘modern’, ‘technological’ Russia, a military ‘superpower’…
"Our UAZ are the worst in the world… or so I thought. Our UAZ are the best, most advanced military vehicles in the world, as I found out during my 10 years’ reducation and hard labour on the Collective Farm.
How we laughed as we ploughed the fields with our bare hands".

In a surprise move, Germany has started to donate vehicles to RUSSIA. The quarter-million Trabants have been gathered from scrapyards. “They’re almost free” said a German official “all we’re asking is that Russia covers the transport costs and send us videos of them welding the armour on”
Cheers,
