OP did you forget to include “Colorized (1942)” in the title?

It seems like russia army truck manufacturers all stopped updating the exteriors sometime in the 50s

DobroDed76@reddit

Not true, those are not even Russian army soldiers. but DPR. Ukraine had a lot of ZiL left. And it is a civilian vechicle, not military

[-]

FlakeyJakeyNZ@reddit

Yep, that’s state run industry for you

The Zil-133 here has a late model cab (shown by the ‘snout’) which have been long out of production

It’s not a army truck, it’s just a commercial spec truck. The Zil-133 was phased out by the Kamaz trucks

Lol the gun looks like a 3.7 flak (it isn't probably)

2nd military in the world, everyone...

I’d say these are those pro-Russian formations from Eastern Ukraine that everybody mistakenly or purposefully says are the Russian Army.

[-]

canadatrasher@reddit

These formation were ALWAYS essentially - an extension of Russian army.

And any, even facetious, argument that they are not has been put to rest after the "annexation."

Giving money and supplies to a faction does not make it an extension of the countries military. By that logic the mujahideen were once part of the US armed forces.

[-]

canadatrasher@reddit

There never was a "faction."

Russia organized and controlled those units the whole time.

Also, you conveniently ignore the last part of my post.

By that logic the mujahideen were once part of the US armed forces.

Did USA organize Mujahideen from ground up? Were Mujahideen commanded by US officers and world in close Cooperation with regular US units?

Did USA annex the entire area Mujahideen controlled as a 51st state?

The Ukrainian army is entirely controlled by the west yet most refer to them as "the Ukrainian armed forces" even when they are controlled by and comprised of foreigners.

The Ukrainian army is entirely controlled by the west

Hahahahahh

This is becoming comedy. Tell me more.

weathered_peasant@reddit

You're right. This is a joke... Having a conversation with someone who has responses like this instead of raising an actual valid argument.

CylonRussianBot@reddit

your talking to a dead account its been suspended LOl.

CylonRussianBot@reddit

who provided the guns and ammo and intel and political support and says YOU ARE GOOD.

NOT RUSSIA.

USA/NATO.

its been a proxy war since day one.

CylonRussianBot@reddit

right and our beloved PM Trudeau just "happens" to have a finance minister who's dad is ex-Ukranian RIght Wing.

The same Finance minster who told us all to cancel Disney plus instead of protesting her insane corruption.

[-]

ironically described the Ukranian Army: armed and funded and equipped by NATO to the tune of Billions to commit genocide against the other 2/3rds of Ukraine's population. UA also uses also sorts of improvised gun trucks more out of desperation due to insane combat losses of heavy equipment. In the Russian and allied forces' case, it's simply an extra mobile gun on the field. S-60s are often sued for harassment fire from video I've seen.

It was an analogy but thanks for the in depth explanation.

A10: "Torget"

[-]

Vegetable-Cut-8174@reddit

Trust me the a10 would miss it and the pilot would claim it destroyed 3 tanks

[-]

FlakeyJakeyNZ@reddit

A10: gets confused and hits allied convoy then downed by AAA

but like the prevalence of conventional anti air weapons would make A10’s a liability

[-]

dikmite@reddit

Is that truck only rear wheel drive? I dont see a diff in the front

[-]

Plump_Apparatus@reddit

That's a solid front axle. I think that's a 6x4 ZIL-133, might have diff locks at least.

[-]

dikmite@reddit

The Soviets, with the terrain and infrastructure they dealt with, mustve made a good cargo truck

[-]

dnroamhicsir@reddit

I know the ZiL-130 was made extremely rugged, to the point they wanted to build a lighter version for city traffic. But they decided against it, since they couldn't guarantee those truck wouldn't at some point end up in rural service, where they would fail prematurely.

The ZiL-133GYa (pictured) is basically a KamAZ-5320 with a crappy cab. Most of these ended up as fire trucks or crane chassis.

[-]

FlakeyJakeyNZ@reddit

Yep, theirs a reason why so many trucks that are out of production everywhere else are gone

That 1970’s/1980’s generation of truck is only starting to phase out completely in places like Africa and the Pacific Islands where Leyland and Japanese products are being replaced with modern trucks that just don’t last as long - trucks that are only a couple years old are having problems but these older ones keep on going
