Russian army vehicle from the 1970s destroyed by Ukraine highlights Russia’s struggle with replacing its battle-stricken tank fleet

Ukraine has destroyed an ultra-rare Soviet-era armoured vehicle that was first field-tested by the Russians at Chernobyl.

Battlefield footage shared on social media appeared to show the Ladoga nuclear command vehicle being targeted by a Ukrainian drone.

The vehicle was designed in the seventies to move senior Kremlin staff around in the event of a nuclear attack.

Unfortunately the Russian stocks from the Soviet era are pretty massive, so there is a lot of future scrap to be placed in Ukranian fields before this ends.

Tar_alcaran,

Massive, but the useful bits of it are rapidly shrinking
