Vehicle ID Thread No.27:
From a Russian Supplyroad supposedly near Pokrovsk.

First we start with the most interesting Vehicle, which ironically only appears at the end:

A Moskvich-2140 Sturm A total of 6x UAZ-469, 3151, Hunter are shown

(5x Destroyed, 1x Still in use)

A small thread on what i call Sturm Vehicles in Ukraine:

Russia tries to overcome Ukrainian Defenses/Reach them, with multiple tactics. One of them is Speed over Protection. To achieve the speed they resort to using unarmored civilian Vehicles, converted to carry a maximum of troops and to be quick and easy to dismount.

Naturally UTVs and Pickups come to mind regarding this.

A small Thread about Vans, Pickups, SUV etc most commonly seen with Russian Armed forces.
Also a small note: Its IMO almost impossible for Russians to run out of these cheap vehicles. 1. UAZ-452/3741/2206/3909/3909i/3962/39625 etc.
The UAZ-452 was manufactured from 1965 to 1985.
Since 1985 the successor the UAZ-3741 is build, which we see commonly with Russian Armed Forces.

There is the claim by some towtruck driver that says that these 2 losses are faked and since so many people believe this bullshit i want to say a few things on why this is bullshit in my opinion

No.1:
The Tires have no dirt in them.

I have multiple problems with that claim:

1st the area of the crossing is pretty dry, with almost no mud

This is clearly visible on the AMZ Dzik, but i can claim many things, so take a picture from Bakhmut as reference

Another Video was posted by the RSF of the Captured Depot
Note that the BTR-3 in the new video havent yet been destroyed, so it was filmed before the last video

One more previously unseen T-55A was destroyed

So because everyone seems to write about the losses at the Grayvoron Border Crossing I thought I'll give my opinion on it/ how I view it

After taking a closer look I have different views about this than in my previous posts.

So lets start with the AMZ Dzik It seems it was the first Vehicle abandoned here, as you can see it already abandoned when the RVC (Russian Volunteer Corps) move into the Bordercrossing (Red Circle)

An indepth look into the Usage of the UAZ-452 in the Russian Armed Forces: The UAZ-452 is, together with the GAZ Gazelle, the most observed Van in the Russian Army in Ukraine.
Most wellknown by its nickname Bukhanka (Loaf of bread) or the Scooby Doo Van.

Car ID No.17 from Ukraine:
Thanks @aloha9916 for sending me the Pictures
1. A Destroyed Lada Niva, unclear which Edition (Wikipedia calls it 2129) 2. Uparmored UAZ-23632 questionable if the thin sheets of metal really add any extra protection

Russian Parade 2023 Vehicle ID and Count.

Sudan Crisis 2023 Losses from 07.05.2023

RSF Losses:

1x Toyota Landcruiser Technical Captured by Sudan
1x BTR-70MB1 Destroyed Sudan Losses:
All Losses are from an captured Assembly Line, so it is doubtful/unclear if they are actually usuable/ ready for combat.

12x Sarsar-2 Hulls Captured by RSF (But Probably around 30, judging by 5 Hulls in a Row and 6 Rows visible in the video)

Sudan Crisis 2023 Losses from 06.05.2023

RSF Losses:

1x Toyota Landcruiser Captured by SAF Sudan Losses:

1x Toyota Landcruiser Damaged

Today the RSF Released High Quality Footage of the Depot they captured on 16.04.2023.
They destroyed allmost all Vehicles. 1. So lets start with the 3x BTR-3 and the BTR-80 next to them
Turns out its not a BTR-80 but a BTR-70MB1 and it was Destroyed with the 3x BTR-3

Hi, I found a Duplicate on the Ukrainian List:
M998 HMMWV Captured 5 and Captured 10 are the same
It got somewhat repaired and was pressed into Russian Service
The Camo is the same(green), Part of the Hood is missing and Cracked(Red) and they tried to fix the damage in the Bullbar(Blue).
They replaced the Windows and Headlights and removed the license plate. The Wheels are in the same sorry state on both Images

Part 2.1 of my identification thread, this time Russia is the topic:
Please remember these are my personal views/ observations on the subject Stripes:
Russia uses rather rarely a Red horizontal stripe on its vehicles.
As far as im aware these red stripes are only used by separatist troops.
