Anyone can tell what tank is at 0:11 0:12 and a bit further ahead?
It almost looks like an Armata, but I doubt it is. Someone with a better set of eyes?

The footage is I think several months old, outside of Kiev.

If you mean the one with the smoke pouring out the commander hatch I would say T72/T90

If there had been an Armata there, the world would have heard about it in a heartbeat

Re: Ukraine OOB New and Old Toys
 

Thank you. It just didn't look like either a T-72 or T-90 to me, at least from this angle, but I believe you. It makes more sense.

Articles about other model this time SP-AT gun build on MT-LB chassis with shields for the crew. In this case that isn't SP-Gun but tank hunter vehicle.

Re: Ukraine OOB New and Old Toys
 

Two interesting findings
Usage of 57mm S-60 AA guns on truck vehicles as improvised Gepard like. They are use to protect against aerial threats, drones like Orlan or Cartographer, Helicopters. Against ground vehicles usually light armoured so very usefully vehicles even is that only KRAZ truck with gun.

What I found interesting in that link was the use of the white cross for identifying Ukrainian vehicles.
