Ukrainian named T-64

Post by Nesher »

A Finnish journalist (Antti Kuronen of YLE) just posted a series of pictures from a Ukrainian tank column near Donetsk. One of the pictures depicts a T-64BV(?) bearing the name 'Katyusha' written in Ukrainian on the ERA-blocks on the side of the vehicle, which might be of interest for those that want something a little different than the standard all-green for their models. Also note the crest on the searchlight cover, and the white ID-stripe :)

Thanks for posting mate. Love to see the difference between Soviet and N.A.T.O. builds, especially the tracks. ---


N.A.T.O. -- put rubber blocks on to protect the roads (and provide a smoother ride)

Soviet -- Steel tracks, we have a tank that will go anywhere WE want - crew comfort, "pah, we have no need of capitalist comforts" :)
