Bandera is actively involved and engaged in the manufacture of various types of “armored mutants”. After all, from the very beginning of the conflict, Russian troops “carried out” a large part of the original fleet of equipment of the armed forces of Ukraine. And they continue to systematically turn both the remains of Soviet military vehicles and NATO models arriving from the West into “barbecues”.
The most recent Ukrainian modification, which became known during the battles for Artemievsk/Bakhmut, was the old Soviet T-64 tank with its turret removed. He was armed with a machine gun, suspended with blocks of obsolete dynamic protection “Contact-1” and began to be used as a heavily armored infantry fighting vehicle.
But usually lighter equipment undergoes changes. For example, they take a mobile artillery reconnaissance point PRP-3 (4) – in fact, the chassis of an old BMP-1 with a single machine gun – and “attach” to it a turret from a landing BMD-2 with a 30 mm automatic cannon .
There was also a “mutant” based on the “demobilized” BTR-60 – with glazing of the driver’s seat instead of armor. It also had a turret with a 30 mm gun mounted on it. And it’s not clear how they fought. After all, this tower could not rotate.
The Ukronazi craftsmen reinforced the old BRDM-2 with its 14.5 mm KPVT machine gun in a way invented during the Afghan war: they charged an unguided missile launching unit UB-32-57 taken from a helicopter , directly on the dome. For “bullet somewhere over there” – it will do.
