…In 2015, with the following caption “Canadian 1A3 towers at a training ground in Canada, something like a mask he has some kind of crap …” (Google-style translation I guess)

Original non blurred picture

Looking at the version posted in the other post, you can notice a Russian flag and a “Z” patches have been added on the arm of the guy on the right…

I saw the Canadian pattern trousers and knew right away. Makes you wonder how many of the pictures that ruscists post are actually real.

Seeing as how there are no A4s in Ukraine should make you sceptical anyway, know what you are looking at, I’ve seen vehicles whole as Ukrainian, destroyed as Russian.

Something for the scratch builders out there,

Nice. I’ve already built my 23-2 in a Kamaz, but without the wazoo armor bucket. It looks like whoever welded that monstrosity together actually put some thought into it. No recycled MT-LB parts at any rate.

I remmeber that during a tour of Bosnia, IFOR, we had a crew of Hungarian soldiers attached to us at Banja Luka, with one of those monstrosties.

It was useless, bogged in up to its belly plates if you even farted in its general direction.
