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. Image 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. Image

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

Image 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 ImageImage

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 Image

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) Image

An indepth look into the Usage of the UAZ-452 in the Russian Armed Forces: Image 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. Image

Sudan Crisis 2023 Losses from 07.05.2023

RSF Losses:

1x Toyota Landcruiser Technical Captured by Sudan
1x BTR-70MB1 Destroyed ImageImage 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) ImageImageImageImage

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) ImageImage 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. ImageImage
