    Russian tanks drive from Georgia's breakaway region of South Ossetia towards the Roki tunnel that leads into Russia.



    Russian soldiers man a checkpoint near the Georgian village of Kekhvi in breakaway South Ossetia. Obviously no worries that something is going to hit those ERA blocks!

      Russian has being displaying it's latest armour offerings in Moscow during the week. The BMP-3 looks good but as can be seen from these photos, getting out of it isn't exactly easy. Especially if that big engine took a hit.

        Is that a sawn-off Dragunov?? Or have they changed it to a carbine?

        Edit - It's a VSS which is fitted with a suppressor and fires a 9mm sub-sonic round.

                Not as if the US invented stand-off armour.

                            Hi all! Long time observer...first post!

                            Thats a Dzik. Its from Poland. It is currently used by the Polish Military but has also around 1000 have been ordered by the Iraqi Police/Interior milistry.

                            Slightly off topic, but the same company make an LATV called the Tur, and an upgraded version, Tur 2. It would seem to fit the specs for our LTAV with the bonus of being cheaper.....plus it might win favour with alot of the population Assuming we don't wish to award every contract to the Swiss
