Those Darn Russkies...
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Hi Mark! Hi Folks!

- Taranov

It's been not tank. Tunguska

?????????????

Tunguska! Or 2S6M Tunguska, SP AAA tracked vehicle.

Think West German Gepard on steroids.

Crew of six, 4 x 30 mm auto cannons, plus 8 x SA-19 SAMs.
Replacement for the ZSU-23-4 SP AAA. First seen in the west in 1986. Counter system for AH64 and A10s.

Follow up note: Pictures make it look like there are only two auto cannons. However Jane's lists four and the spec's sheet over at Global Security list a rate of fire for four cannons. I guess there are two 30mm's in each of those tube assembles.

Spot Report!
Sgt, Scouts Out!
