SeanM Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 I haven't been following the news on the world recently, what's Russia doing in the Ukraine? Great pics though Hi Mr Grumpylee, I suggest you check out some of the news websites. Any discussion here on what and why could quickly turn into a political debate. I recommend the BBC. I'd prefer keep this thread focused on the imagery of personnel & hardware that is becoming so prevalent on out TV screens over the last week. Thanks Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magman2 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Back on Track I have made a small Photo of the Modern Russian Helmets, the para and marine helmet have slightly different shapes around the head set bulges. All older styles of helmets can still be in seen in service at the moment. Net Photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magman2 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 This officer looks like a fallschirmjager from WW2 Net Photo This Ural 6x6 Truck has something to hide, note the mud on the reg plate. Lots of vehicles in the photos have the plates removed. The last two numbers on Russian Military vehicles plates, give the area code where it's stationed. [90] is for the Black Sea Fleet, and the Gaz Tigers seen in the photos have [21] from the Northern Caucasus. Some Special Forces have their on codes,MDV [11],[15] and[19]. FSB [10] and [12]. Airborne [67]. Net Photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 The number plates have been covered along with the Russian flag on the soldiers uniforms because Putin is alledging that these are NOT Russian military but 'pro Russian volunteers'!! and thus he has no direct control over them.

TinHead Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) These fellas look a tad bit shady? They're pro-Russian activists, apparently. When I first saw the TV report with them on, I thought they were some kind of SF. Who knows what they are?

Mike Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 AN-94... superb weapon... on Call of Duty Black Ops II. Not sure what it'd be like in the real world tho. Quite a disparate group of uniforms and load-outs there, isn't there? Even amongst the regular forces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentG Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I was married to one like that once. Good looking babe but she used the smoke alarm as a timer. That's a strange green/blue color the Marines use. Could it be a "universal" (comprimise) color for sea and land? G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magman2 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 "Vintorez" sniper Rifle suppressed sniper rifle that uses a heavy subsonic 9×39 mm SP-5 cartridge, Subsonic ammunition is used to avoid a sonic boom. The bullet is very effective at penetrating body armor. For this purpose it is equipped with a hardened steel or tungsten tip to penetrate a 6 mm (0.2 in) high-density steel plate at 100 m; a 2 mm (0.08 in) steel plate or a standard army helmet can be fully penetrated at 500 m; however, the rifle is typically employed under 400 m.
