Also, this is actually for the U.S. Air Force, to test the ability of new aircraft targeting systems to identify enemy tanks. The crazy guys were ordered to create a Fake-News BTR, BMP and T-72.

The test run was made on the Condron Army Airfield. Whoa, slow down there plastic tank, five miles per hour please!
The crazy-guys took what was once a static (stationary) corrugated plastic target, used for radar acquisition, and adapted it to fit over a small utility all terrain vehicle (ATV). They then altered the ATV to be remote controlled, in other words, they created a giant R/C toy.
Video by John Hamilton of highly paid engineers playing with their giant R/C tank:
It also has tactically placed metal strips and heat generators to simulate the radar and heat signatures of a real tank. The experimental giant R/C tanks went to Edwards Air Force Base, California. I have not been able to find any info on what happened to the corrugated R/C tanks, but I suspect they were used to test the F-35’s ability to identify and attack ground vehicles, that is because the F-35’s ground attack testing (at Edwards AFB) began about the same time that the fake-news tanks were created.
Now, also realize that people around the world are being given CoViD vaccines that were developed in a little more than half-a-year’s time, not even fully tested for official approval, only authorized for “emergency use”! The latest Malaria vaccines took years to develop (including a new U.S. Army vax that has already been issued to 5-hundred people since 2020), the most recent new Malaria vaccine took 37 years to develop!

Until the 2020 Malaria vaccine approvals, people had to take pills on a daily basis to prevent/treat Malaria. Why is the news media so hyped-up about people getting a CoViD vax that has not been fully tested or officially approved, and yet has said nothing about the 400-plus-million people who die every year from Malaria? Is it because about 90% of Malaria cases still happen in African countries?
U.S. Army video from October 2011, Malaria is the top killer of people living on the African continent:

The latest T-84, the BM Oplot. Although it has a large exhaust port that would indicate a turbine engine, it actually has a complicated turbo-supercharged 6-cylinder ‘double-stroke’ piston (meaning each cylinder actually has two pistons) engine.

This tank is called by several names, it was developed for militaries that use the NATO 120mm ammo originally developed for the 120mm Reinmetall gun. It is known as Yatagan, KERN2-120, or T-84-120.

This MorozovKMDB promo video is called Oplot, but it shows the T-84 and the Yatagan. The visual difference is that the Yatagan’s turret extends over the engine deck:

The upgraded/up-armored T-64 known as BM Bulat, looks very much like the T-80UD. The visual give-aways are the position of the smoke grenade launchers, and the type of roadwheels .
