While looking into some T-80 issues I found this.
https://defence-blog.com/russian-t-8...ve-armour/?amp

How easy it is to stuff them with heavy stock paper. As has been discussed elsewhere.

It won't be hard (Assuming some efficiency is in place to track these.) to go back and figure out who was involved in sabotaging those ERA bags. Note the timeline and limited use tanks that apparently have them.

It's now 0230 quite awhile after the above. I got up to Page 35 looking for those missile posts, so my guess of ~3 years might not be to far off.
I did come across some posts more into the first mention in the 1st and 3rd ones listed the rest are deeper.

Post 164 RELIKT ERA
Post 232 "Deep" VARTA Soft Kill (OPLOTs)
Post 281 SPIKE LOS, I think this was brought up for Ukraine? NO they don't.
Post 301 "Deep" Seems I got the ball rolling on these the T-72B3 which is thought to be the most prevalent Russian tank in Ukraine and ARENA-E


I gotta go back to work this afternoon, I'm sorry but I'm done.

Hope some of this helps.

After all those pages I've forgotten about how long ago I started tracking some of this equipment that's still NOT at FOC.

Sometimes you need to look back, to look ahead.

Good Night!

Regards,
Pat
