Such first Soviet radars were used also for the defence of Leningrad during WWII, also they were tested during Winter War.

Sorry, I found just now that "RUS" means Radar Aircraft Catcher on Russian abbreviation.

Thanks, Juha!
Yes, learning languages is always very useful, but it takes a lot of time and practice. I want to learn Finnish and even started to do this several times, but I have not enough time as always, also Finnish grammar is quite complicated So I can only translate simple Finnish texts with vocabulary


Well, name this tank.

[The Edge]

British A16?

[Davide Pastore]

Vickers Medium MkIII, a.k.a. A6E1/A6E2/A6E3, a.k.a. Vickers 16-tonner (although actual weight was 18.7t)

Davide

[BIGpanzer]

Exactly, Davide!
This is British medium experimental tank Mk.III. Three tanks were built in 1930 (two by Royal Ordnance factory and the third - by Vickers). Some sources give its weight as 16 t.
Those tankls had 7 men crew, armor up to 14 mm, 180 hp engine, 4xHotchkiss MG + 2xVickers .303 MG + 1x3 pdr gun, speed 30 mph.

The photo above shows Mk.III during trials - http://mailer.fsu.edu/~akirk/tanks/Grea ... m3-Ion.jpg

Hi Davide

Some friendly advice:

NEVER ask about a Brewster product as long as Juha is a member here!!!

I mean, the guy has his own Brewster Pottery collection!!!

And Juha? Just in case your thinking a certain way for your next question, I'm saying Brewster Buccaneer right now!!!

SLIGHT overestimation


For me the best part at this Forum are the people here.
Some of them I'm proud to have as my friends. My CCC ( Canadian Clever Companion ) Mr. Aufklarung is one of them.

I mean, the guy has his own Brewster Pottery collection!!!

About a week ago I received a package from him, containing these:

8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Well done Davide.

Most correct answer.
The pic was from Suur Isamaasõda 1941-1945 by Nikolai Afanasjev.
Following the good old Soviet traditions I edited few persons off from the pic.
Nearly the same can be seen here: http://foto.sevastopol.info/gallery/flo ... shilov.htm
