    I don’t get why everyone is so excited about the T-55. I’m pretty sure they already fielded them last year and even turned them into VBIEDs.

    Wake me when they eventually pull the T-34s out of storage.

      By most accounts, the T-55s they pulled out were largely pulling duties in the rear to free up modern tanks. This is the first(?) time we’ve had solid confirmation that they’re putting them close to the front.

      Wake me when they eventually pull the T-34s out of storage.

      Fat chance - they had to borrow T-34s for their parades. They got rid of them long ago. No, it’s straight to the anti-elephant wagon after the T-55.

    What the hell is that contraption? There’s a guy holding a scythe along the ground, which can maybe hit people along 10% of the vehicle at most. There’s 2 fires just strapped to the front which… why? If you run someone over there isn’t much point trying to set them on fire as well. And then there’s the crane, which I just cannot comprehend what it could possibly be used for.
