      OMSK T-80U TANKS - there were cool cars like the Omsk plant
      Cypriots in 1995 bought a batch of T-80U and BMP-3, then in the 2000s bought from the stocks of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation

      many think that he was buried at the time by UVZ
      Omsk plant was not buried by UVZ, but to his joy. Our officials, deputies, Yeltsin and others like him buried it at the request of friends from across the ocean. For them, then the T-80 was a symbol of the stronghold of the USSR and Russia, it had to be removed. Everything that was done in the United States anti-tank, was imprisoned, first of all, against the T-80, everything else was not even taken into account. Naturally, UVZ was at hand and his guys supported this initiative. Although, when all this happened, the situation at UVZ was even worse than in Omsk.
      When Omsktransmash was finally dumped by the beginning of the 2000s, it only remained for him how to deal with the Kyrgyz Republic. At the same time, OKBTM is a strong design bureau now. They developed a number of interesting modernizations of the T-80BV (and even now there are about 4000 more), which is no worse than the current T-90SM, and in some ways better. But finally, the stool didn’t need a nifig, meaning from tanks and generally our weapons.

      So they got at the moment a monopolist represented by UVZ with a price of T-90A at 118 million rubles - in 2007 it cost 56 million
      to India in 2011 goes for 80 million
      no competitor, you can set the price tag as you want request

        I liked the video about the Parade in Estonia, which some forum member posted in yesterday's article about the Estonian Armed Forces: the one who laughs last laughs well. There, even motorboats of border guards carried motorboats and snowmobiles, and at the end it was said that we still have three tanks, but they kind of feel sorry for us and one has so far been given to Latvia for training exercises wassat

          but like we feel sorry for the road

          Although it may seem that the Cypriots do not mind their roads, this is an erroneous opinion.
          Sorry, but how!
          Specially ordered polyurethane slippers for the 80s! Here they walk in the streets.

    How much our dough went through this offshore, one could buy 100 thousand tanks with this money.

      Last month, the government of Ukraine and the government of Cyprus signed an agreement that now all taxes transferred from Ukraine to Cyprus offshore will be taxed and transferred to the Ukrainian budget. About a few billion UAH. in year.

      Do not count your chickens before they are hatched .

      Here we will see the latest Armata and find out whether it’s a boom or not a boom to buy the heirs of the 80s anymore.
