Hmmm. Why does one guy have his face edited out and the other guy have his arm patch edited out? I suspect that they may not be Georgian at all. They may even come from somewhere much further East.

Yeah look at the second picture, there are some chinese/japanese/somewhere in eastern asia used characters

anyway a campaign like that would be great

My bet... Some new variant of airborne Type 63 launcher. Only two rows of 4 tubes instead of normal 3x4, but the rocket fits exactly.

Hmmmm, is someone making a scenario/campaign about this?

I’m a bit OT here, but I like the cover of the latest issue of Moscow Defense Brief (a Russian defence journal)



The cover of the last issue was good too.



P.S. I’m not trying to make any political point. I just liked the Hollywood puns.

Actually, the online version of the latest issue of Moscow Defense Brief has some interesting articles that may be of interest to people developing scenarios or OOBs for the conflict.

It can be found here:

At last … I’ve found a picture to confirm my suspicions about the ‘Georgian’ mystery MRL.

This is a picture of an experimental MRL platoon with the ‘Special (Experimental) Light Mechanized Infantry Regiment’ of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army.



The weapon is a unique eight tube 107mm MRL mounted on a 6x6 ATV.
