World War 3: Russia digs in, flies old Soviet flag! Deploying its newest weapon systems into Donbas/Kiev Ukraine!

T-72B3 flying the old flag of the U.S.S.R.! Near the village of Rybinskoye. Notice this vehicle is marked with an ‘O’.

Perhaps because of the capture of documents revealing a massive offensive against Russia, Russia is now flooding the Donbas and Kiev Areas of Operations (AO) with more and newer military equipment.  What I found interesting is that one of the videos shows Russian BMP-2s carrying old Soviet Union flags!

This ‘V’ marked tank is the latest T-90M.

I think the ‘V’ indicates Kiev AO. Posted 09MAR2022, masses of BMP-2s, T-72B3s, BM-21 Grads, 2S3s:

‘V’ marked T-72B3.

Posted 07MAR2022, ‘V’ marked support vehicles pour into Kiev AO, Ukraine:

Posted on 06MAR2022, ‘V’ marked BMD-2s, T-72s, MTLBs:

‘V’ marked T-90M and BMP-2:

In the Donbas AO, ‘Z’ marked newer military gear is coming in. I think the ‘Z’ is from a new Russo-Ukrainian word ZaНАШИХ, or За НАШИХ (ZaNASHIKH), which means For Ours. This is a way of saying the Donbas area is Russian.  It could also mean For Victory, which is Зa ПОБЕДУ, or ZaПОБЕДУ (ZaPOBEDU).

 

Armored train.

An Armored train was used to evacuate foreign civilians from Kherson Oblast of Ukraine to the city of Armyansk of the Republic of Crimea.  The ‘silly-vilians’ are from Turkey, Ukraine, Egypt, Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Sweden, Italy, Brazil, Morocco and India.

New Cold War: Russian ops in Tajikistan, 2021 vid-fest

“This year, we conducted 11 joint exercises through the Collective Security Treaty Organization and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.”-Colonel General (U.S. equivalent Lieutenant General) Alexander Lapin, Central Military District, December 2021

In Russia’s Central Military District there were 11 wargames held in 2021.  They spread across Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.  The wargames also included military units from Armenia, Belarus, China, India and Pakistan.

This covers some of what went down in Tajikistan.

1-thousand targets were set-up for the August 5-10 wargame in the Khatlon Region, on the Kharb-Maydon training ground.

Anti-tank rocket launchers. The Russian word translates as ‘flamethrower’, this is confusing because in English a flamethrower is a different type of weapon.

The scenario of the August Tajikistan wargame was that the Central Asian country was invaded.  About 2-thousand-5-hundred personnel from Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan took part, with about 5-hundred vehicles.

In November, Russian troops from the 201st Military Base in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, got to try out their new 5.45mm AK-12 assault rifles during the Cobalt 2021 wargame.  Central Military District video:
