Re: MBT's
No matter the cause or issue and the reason for; someone out here will ALWAYS be my Marine Buddy.
As " Pride Runs Deep" so does " Semper Fidelis".
From the lift (160lb. sandman.) and 20ft+12s/2mi. at 27m flat. I live to work another year. I wonder if it'll be harder @ 65!?!
Regards,
Pat

Given what I've seen reported about the Russian defenses they could use a battalion of them.

Re: MBT's
Apparently, the Russians had a substantial (shed-load) stockpile of mines.
It would be interesting to know how far back in age they go. Some of them could easily be (possibly..... ) ones made before they stopped needing to use them in quantity in WW2

One thing the Soviet/Russian government/military is known for is never disposing of anything (other then people) that has the slightest use. Wouldn't be surprised to see them pull out a MIG-17.

Re: MBT's
The problem is this....... I am guessing the Rhino (Oshkosh) is the one I was asking about but a Google search does not show anything that looks like that at all and this......
is an ofek and there isn't one in that photo I posted. That MIGHT be one ( maybe ) in the second tanknet photo on the right side but it's not clear that is what it is
The large vehicle DOES look like it's built on an Oshkosh truck chassis
and ELbit makes something very, very similar for the Swedes
https://defence-industry.eu/elbit-to...-armed-forces/
So it seems it's an Elbit and Elbit Systems Sweden AB IS a subsidiary of Israeli company Elbit Systems ( which used to be IMI )
