Putin’s WWII victory pageant goes up in smoke when ‘unstoppable’ tank destroyer catches fire.

???????????????? ????????? ?? ??????-?????? ??????


For the second time in five years, Russian heavy metal has broken down during the annual parade.

At a pageant Wednesday, while Moscow parade-goers lined the route, cell phone cameras in hand, the newest version of the VPK-7829 Bumerang rolled into view.

Touted for its swimming ability, the vehicle proceeded atop its wheels on the streets of Moscow. While trundling within metres of families with children in tow, the Bumerang commenced belching ever-thickening clouds of dense smoke across Moscow's Red Square.

While unseen people yelled with alarm, the oily dark smoke streamed from the front, sides, and top hatch, and eventually enveloped the Bumerang. As captured on video posted to Twitter, the combat vehicle ground to a halt.

Fake news.  They were merely demonstrating the capability of a break down and how they are able to overcome it.  Like the T-14 a few years ago.

Was it made by the same outfit that made their aircraft carrier, both seem to have the same problem.

This is just the secondary smoke screen generator in action

For a military and industry extremely dependent on foreign military sales to stay afloat.. this is not a good luck for them

If you ever served more than a day on an armored vehicle you know shit breaks. Sometimes for no reason but shit breaks. Problem is you cannot pick or choose when it will happen. This isn't like firing up your Kia Sportage and driving. There is a reason tank haulers like a HET are a thing.

I’m sure Vlad is upset by a single apc and not laughing his ass off at his primary rival which had entire cities burning over a dead criminal.

Even without the fire, that's the saddest looking "parade" I've ever seen.  There were what, 50 people there?

Also, how the fuck is that thing a "tank destroyer"?  What caliber was that gun, 20mm?

He's not laughing because we've sanctioned the shit out of him, lined his border with Europe with Patriot missiles, and have good coverage of Europe with the F-35.

That's because the video is not the actual parade, but afterward when the vehicles were driving back to the rail yard or their truck transports.  The IFV is definitely not a "tank destroyer",  I don't know where this garbage news source came up with that.

Which are short-term nuisances. Putin knows full well that the Dems will regain power at some point and with that will come massive military cuts and more regulations limiting fracking since the DNC is kowtowing to what the DSA wants.

Europe is still dependent on Russian energy and their arms exports have increased. Most notably to Egypt which has bought our hardware for a generation.
