Now lets look at the now infamous 9A330 TLAR captured by Igor.
Notice how it's abandoned in a forest and not some roadside, also notice the fully intact suspension and damaged engagement radar.

Here's a video of Igor's 9A330, after looting by locals.
Notice the very obvious "H-2200" railroad marks on it. Our new specimen lacks these. Also notice how the suspension is still intact, even after enduring angry Ukrainian villagers.

This same "H-2200" railroad marking can be seen on the two other previously captured 9A330 TLAR. Also, these have small orange/red diamonds, indicating they're part of the 90th GTD.
Our new specimen lacks these markings on its left hand side, unlike the other two.
