Omniraptor, Found a picture of the same gun on a Harley Davidson old.reddit.com/…/a_37mm_recoilless_gun_mounted_on…
Dreizehn, The Muscovites might drag one out of a museum and deploy it in Ukraine.
Omniraptor, Afaik Russia pretty much ran out of air assault troops a few months into the war. We’ve been doing it WW1 style since
DaDragon, My uninformed opinion would probably be that someone somewhere realised that air assault is no longer viable, in light of a lack of Russian air superiority. And in general, the VDV has always been more of a ‘somewhat decently trained conscript force’, which only has an overall better image because they undergo slightly more training than their ‘normal’ conscripted brethren
Aqarius, They’ve always been more “air mobile” rather than actual air assault anyway, much like marines don’t do much amphibious landing nowadays.
IIRC they tried to land on that one airport at the very start, and bailed when it became a hot LZ. It’s kind of an open question if air assault is even viable in this day and age.
someguy3, What are the bicycle wheel looking things on the front?
ElCanut, In case they need to invade Copenhagen
terribletortoise, Clearly they are two tactile unicycles. /s
pdxfed, What do you call two unicycles, peasant?
Omniraptor, Probably for if they need to dismount the gun and transport it separately
Glemek, I think this is it. It looks like those wheels are attached to split trails with spade ends, that are kind of draped onto the hood of the jeep.
lettruthout, Just guessing: maybe for driving on railroad tracks.
Hubi, Russian “creativity” doesn’t seem to have changed at all in the last 80 years.
PugJesus, Of all the wacky ideas, ain't gonna fault 'em for this one. Frankensteining equipment together is a universal military tradition.
rockSlayer, Fuck it, we’re doing it live
pdxfed, Who is steering? Don’t care, get it moving.
