bojan Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) Well, IFVs. BMP-1 and it's ideological relative, Yugoslav M-80A. And I was thinking that M-80A was a tight squeeze... Edited April 14, 2023 by bojan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trials were run after 5 days of conversion training. the good general´s accent was almost military-grade encrypted, probably even the germans can not eavesdrop swiss comms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BansheeOne Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 But it has sensors that prevent the vehicle from moving before the ramp is fully closed so pollutant levels in the fighting compartment remain below workplace safety thresholds for pregnant women!

Does the battle override meet the safe password standards? Acceptable Methods to Create a Strong Password Use a minimum of 10 characters. Generally, the more characters you can use, the harder a password is to be cracked or guessed. Passwords must include at least three of the four following types of characters English uppercase letters (A through Z). English lower case letters (a through z). Numbers (0 through 9). Special characters and punctuation symbols (Example: _, -. +, =,!, @, %, *, &, ”, :, ., or /). Do not use the following characters \ , ~ or < . Do not use a space or tab.

I have also funny story when we ride in BMP and suddenly the BMP got off road with front somewhat downhill. We got order to immediatelly get out. But we cannot as two men near both doors were unable to open doors as they were full of fuel and men has push them up. Eventually after lot of effort and pressure from all of us we were able to open the doors and deploy. But that time norm...

Interlinked Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 BMP-1 might have met U.S human engineering standards at a few places, but the passenger compartment most certainly did not. It was considered to be enough for a 30th percentile U.S soldier only. BMP was designed according to a 50th percentile Soviet standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
