Not sure if these have tea making facilities as standard but it can do 70mph, thats wild
This outta be able to fill/rush those gaps.
That high-velocity 30 mm L21 RARDEN cannon should prove very useful indeed against the Orcs. Seems like an excellent reconnaissance vehicle (+ Infantry Support Vehicle).
They are also really small. Like really small. You could easily park one in a garage. Makes them hard to spot. Saw an interview with a German Leopard commander and he was bitching about the Weasel, which is a similar size and he hated going against them because they were always showing up behind them. They were really easy to hide and they can fit through tight spaces.
That name reminds me of Runescape.
Well, it’s the same weight as the BRDM-2 but better.
This will probably not fare well if exposed to artillery. But I feel that’s also true for most soviet IFVs, so I don’t know. Useful vehicle either way, depending how it is used.
Hartwarming to see that good equipment keeps rolling in for Ukraine while the Russians soon all will be riding in the back of a pickup truck,like a real terrorist does
For anyone interested in learning about this beautiful vehicle and the work it can perform.

I hope the one delivered had a more appropriate paint job.
