I think one of the problems we have in understanding the Russian view of WW2 is the cyrillic alphabet, I can read a bit of French & German but as for Russian, no chance! Does look good though. Yes, cyrillic alphabet is a problem, but not much.... Much more problem is russian language itself... Ok, I know some chances to get russian texts for foreigners. They are online translators like AltaVista - Babel Fish Translation and http://www.translate.ru THey aren't ideal, but better than none.... Regards, Alex
AMVAS, Excellent site and very very informative indeed!! I'm looking forward to browsing through it. Thx.. I think you'll need much time browsing through it, as it contains ~900Mb of info... :icon_crash: Regards, Alex
Just listening to "The Song of Plains" ("Poliushko pole") Songs written before WW2 Very stirring stuff.
Plz, test my unpublished gallery... http://www.rkkaww2.armchairgeneral.com/galleries/BT_7A.htm Hope it's workable...:nospeakhearsee: REgards, Alex
Alex, I was loking at this the other day and I still can't work out what the round things are, lights, speakers, ?????
Isn't it an un-armed wireless tank? It has the turret of a T-26-4. see here. shows lights http://rkkaww2.armchairgeneral.com/galleries/T-26/2/img/T_26M36_37_pic1.jpg Mono-turreted T-26 tank. Photos show lights too.
browsing through the RKKA site found this, I like it. BM-8-24 rocket launcher. Interesting to observe how short track is employed. Russian resourcefulness in action[?] http://rkkaww2.armchairgeneral.com/galleries/rocket/BM8_24_1.JPG
Alex, I was loking at this the other day and I still can't work out what the round things are, lights, speakers, ????? this place is for lights if nightfire... Speakers is a bit another thing. I think they are covered with covers here. T-34 with speakers... Regards, Alex
browsing through the RKKA site found this, I like it. I think track was damaged and its "shorten" variant was employed.. Not rare thing in Soviet practice...
I'm reaching the conclusion that after 30 years looking at Soviet tanks my ignorance is boundless :angry: I would just like to echo that statement with '20' replacing the 30... don't know if that makes my ignorance greater or less though... :mellow: :m6: :m6:

Hey Alex! Nice to see you around... (I'm slowly learning all about the mind-numbing business of shuffling sites about myself ). I look forward to checking out your changes.) Cheers, Adam.
