And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Russian chick give a lesson on how to start and drive a tank. Her name is ... no joke ... Nastya!
An APC can have both turrets and tracks. The main difference between an APC and a tank is the amount of armor , the size of the main gun and the ability to carry mounted infantry inside the hull. I think this girl is driving a variant of the BTR. It is wheeled and can have a small turret with either a 14.5mm machine gun or a 30mm autocannon. It has a crew of 3 and can carry a 7 man infantry squad. You can see the turret behind the two top hatches with the barrel of the gun sticking between them.
The Russian BMP series is tracked and has a turret. It carries a crew of 3 and an 8 man infantry squad.
I love the "YEAH, BOIIIEEE!"
ReplyDeleteTechnically, I believe it is an armored personnel carrier, APC since it didn't seem to have a turret or tracks.

DeleteI wonder how humorous and lighthearted Ukrainians actually being shot at feel?
ReplyDeleteWhat a hoot!
ReplyDeleteI also caught that Yeah Boooiiieee and started laughing.
BTR "bronye transportyor" (armored transporter)... I'm thinking it was a BTR-80, might have been a BTR-70 though. I gotta brush up on it.

I'd hate to see her parallel park it...
ReplyDeleteWhy do Russians always sound like me when I'm drunk and telling a joke?
ReplyDeleteNo idea what she was saying but I did like the way she said it.
