Hello,

Firstable, please no discussion as to who's right or wrong in the ukrainian conflict, I just need your help to identify a vehicle ...

Watching youtube videos about the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, I saw a vehicle that I do not know in a vdo from June 2014 taken near Lugansk.

This is the link to the video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=2i6XMpFH0IA

And the vehicles (2 of them) could be seen from 38th minute til 40th minute.

Here are some screenshots for identification purpose only, out from the video :





Thank you

Best regards,

Richard

Looks like the Russian PTS-4 Amphibious Cargo Vehicle.

Thank you Randy :-)

I searched with PTS and found it actually may be a PTS-2, for it has the T-64 style "wheels".

Any plastic kit available in 1/35 ?

Regards,

Richard
