I've found a photo of a MT-LB towing a BS-3 100mm A/T gun (at least that's what I think it is)



Does anyone have more information which of the sides was (is) using the BS-3?

Grz,

Sam.

I'm not sure the gun is a BS-3. I guess the barrel should be longer, or maybe it's just a matter of viewing angle...

Here's a BS-3 used by the separatists in Lugansk :

Just came across another video showing the same convoy in Lugansk :

and you were right, the guns definitely look like BS-3's

Here's the video the vidcap you've posted comes from :

I rather guess the yellow armband is for identification purposes.

Henri-Pierre,

First of all thank you for the additional information.

And yes the yellow band is used by the Ukrainian goverment forces, for indentification, as were the 'rebels' seem to have adapted a white band for, I asume, the same purpose.

Grz,

Sam.

The first photo is of a separatist MT-LB,you can tell by toward the rear where there is a patch of a fresh green paint added.

Jason thx for that information.

Using my (old) SKIF MT-LB and ICM BS-3 kits I'll have a go at recreating this scene.

Grz,

Sam.
