How strange is the antenna in it?

Low hanging wire should raise

And if there is a "surprise" at the end of the wire? And somehow the shape of the nose does not contribute to the sliding of the wire. Here, something else

Better let it explode sooner.
In general, this is a rather complicated problem, and sometimes it comes to this:

Sergey, be healthy! Lopatov is also my respect!

It is impossible to understand the incomprehensible, to comprehend the incomprehensible and to shove ... inappropriate.

[Svarog51]

pasha And why should the armored personnel carrier cut the wires with its "nose"? Our BTR-152 had a folding grille.

It is in marching condition.

This is in combat. In theory, should not catch.

Ours should not, but look what a "beak" the "Swiss"

[Svarog51]

In theory, with its weight, few wires will break. But something serious still have to go round.

Strange antennas are located at her

Doesn’t anyone bother with three meters of height for a reconnaissance vehicle? Not, if you hide it behind Mont Blanc, then of course it will be imperceptible, according to the scouts!

Normal - seen from above better. Moreover, this is Switzerland, they will not fight.

[prodi]

basically no different from the federal

although it’s a bit much for reconnaissance of 15 tons of charaban, but for the transportation of people our Typhoon seems to be more successful

[Lena Petrova]

And where is Switzerland going to scout? In Germany, or in France?

At home in Switzerland.

Primitive design based on some kind of truck. Already the layout of the wheels suggests that through the trenches and ditches it is not a rider. In general, they did not strain much when they were designed.

[mehan]

Interesting machine. Exploration and target designation. Plus a communication repeater plus, possibly, RER and EW.

[bars1]

Is he too big for a scout. Here is Fennek the most.

[Sayan]

I don’t understand why they are, they decided to motorize their guards who guard the Pope, so even without these ratchets they look funny in striped trousers and hats in feathers ... and here they bought these pepelats

Looks like a 6x6 wolf
