I must say right away that, despite the rather pretentious title, we will talk about representatives of the engineering troops. Quite undeservedly ignored. Indeed, when it comes to the army, the shock units come to the fore, but they somehow prefer to keep silent about the auxiliary ones

Our today's story will be about two-link tracked conveyors. And even in two guises, today and tomorrow. As of today, everything is clear: we have transporters. And not just eat, they are still good and really, they are not afraid of mud, snow, or swamps. Even areas polluted

An interesting wave "rolled" through the western ones, and with their submission, and through our media. Information that all our efforts to ensure the country's defense are nothing. What are the new weapons systems? What are the new types of weapons in general? It's all just waste of taxpayer money
