Is that Lazar-3 in the back equipped with 30mm gun station from BTR-82A or am I seeing things?

I've heard some rumors...apparently we will soon receive at least 2 more Pantsir S1 and 3 FK-3 batteries, maybe some before the end of this year.

I don't know about truthfulness of these rumors, though...

Well I certainly hope so because current number can only be described as starter package

As for FK-3 I didn't know we even received the first ones, did we? I didn't see any

Pretty much everything we bought lately could do another batch (Pantsirs, Eurocopters, Mi-8s, Mi-35s, etc...)

I know cops are getting 3 Super Pumas so they could stop mooching off military every time they need to move something bigger than a backpack around

Plus at some point we will have to buy something from Americans​ before they start getting their panties in a bunch but other than Red Hawks I can't figure out what, everything we could need from them we either make ourselves or Israelis make much better ones than USA...

Some C-130s maybe (do we even need those?)


I just don't know...

As I understood, they are talking about more MI-35M's (4-6 at least), maybe more H-145 and who knows what else.

There are even some rumors about buying French Ground Master radars...

Last 9 days more than 10 transport planes came from Russia and Belarus, with 2 MIG-29's, 20 BRDM-2M's and maybe 19 tanks T-72 BMS. Planes are still arriving, every day.

Also, our factories will make 24 LAZAR 3's, 20 MILOS-16's and 12 NORA B-52's for our army, this year.

FK-3 is still not here, it's supposed to arrive at the end of this or through the next year. Some government people are also talking about additional 2 Pantsir S1 batteries, maybe even 1 additional AN-26, but who knows what is the truth.  

That's all I have found out.

We need good stuff for our money and we need a lot of it.
