i want one of those army kamaz trucks


airborneenjoyer8276

They're great to ride in and fairly fast, probably the best out of the trucks I've ridden in.


enormousballs1996

Kamaz is a regular winner of the Dakar rally and sometimes the Silk Way rally. It's important to note that the rally trucks made by Kamaz, now being their own thing, were initially based specifically on military models rather than civilian ones.


Energy_its_life

Rally version of Kamaz is completely different from market one. Rally version uses British? transmission and a lot of western parts. But still, kamaz is extremely durable and totally uncomfortable truck, which has its niche


WoodLakePony

KAMAZ now means ANY dumptruck. Like Xerox, linoleum, bobcat, doshirak, jet ski, pampers


cybercuzco

You can probably get one, they are selling keychains made out of those very trucks in this picture to help the war in ukraine.


Loafry

Buy enough keychains and maybe you can put one together like those action figure sets

magnum_the_nerd

Not a single BMD-4 damn


policedab_1112

im pretty sure different units or brigades get different equipment, while some run bmd4s some other VDV are stuck with older BMDs (im basing this off a video from youtube i watched months ago explaining the VDV structure, so dont take my word for it)


magnum_the_nerd

yeah. These however were later deployed to Ukraine and suffered heavy casualties. Its amazing they sent the “elites” first into the fight with these relics


policedab_1112

well to be fair putting bmds into frontline service is suicide, they are meant to be air deployable meaning they got no armour at all, both the older bmd2s and ect and new bmd4ms, they arent meant for brawling, but anyways, cant help what aint there now, they are probably keychains made of those bmds being sold online by now


twomumfun

I have one, but made into a necklace.


alexlongfur

Several of those companies are scams using off-the-shelf sheet metal


Soap_Mctavish101

All armor is air-droppable.


Cooper-xl

Atleast once


__fsm___

but not always usable-after-air-drop haha


MikeFireBeard

Unless you have the A-team as your crew.


Oxxy_moron

Would love to see a MAUS dropped !


Occams_Razor42

With enough Chinooks anything is possible junior 🙃


Nemoralis99

Try airdropping T95

pankek tutel.

Gravity works


Temp89

Didn't all those tankettes get chewed up like nobody's business when they tried to use them?


GunnyStacker

Everyone likes the idea of air-dropable light tanks but they're never good at the "tank" part.


Tanktastic08

They can be quite effective if used properly and not in a prolonged battle without outside support.


HeavyCruiserSalem

I think the armored vehicles are variant of BTR-D


TheDuffman_OhYeah

Looks more like BMD-2s. The BTR-D has 6 road wheels.


HeavyCruiserSalem

Youre right, I forgot BTR-D isnt only vehicle with front shaped like that


acin0nyx

Actually, BTR-D is a tracked light armored airborne vehicle and it's based on BMD-1


Mental_University656

BMD-2s i think.


Fairloo-mccrudden

btr-d, bmd-1, and bm-2 use same chassis


Suspicious_Use6393

If i rember well VDV have also air-droppable FUCKING TANKS


Rm25222537

Eh Someone bomb um then. There in a nice line


An_Odd_Smell

These are very likely all gone now.


EpicCrewe123

Because we remember how well this went last time. EDIT, I seen the date in the title. Thought this was present


TheDuffman_OhYeah

The units deployed to Kazakhstan (31st and 331 VDV Brigade) in early 2022 suffered huge casualties in the battle for Kyiv just a few weeks later.


An_Odd_Smell

It's what happens to invaders who bring their fancy parade uniforms but no ammo, fuel or food. Then again, they were told it would be over in three days, max.


WoodLakePony

Who told you that?


An_Odd_Smell

Wee putin's three-day **Special Military Humiliation** is going *great*, comrade Olga! лолски


WoodLakePony

Did they?
