Woah.. wait. The Tunguska, not the Strela you said that is a Tunguska, is actually a really good Anti Aircraft System. Just because its Design is old, doesnt mean the vehicle is bad. The Tunguska is upgradeable, just like the Abrams and Leopard 2 Tanks which originated in the 80s.. u know.. soviet era.

I know they are used for camouflage but I really like the way the branches make the vehicle look, its like its been in the woods for years waiting its time to strike.

Old outdated stuff being put to good use as best possible. Definitely a patchwork of equipment and systems.

Reminds me of hunting, whether it is pheasants turkeys or deer and elk. Especially hunting with a bow, 15 seconds is a very wide window to shoot in. But you rarely get that. You have seconds to sit up, pull back your bow sight in and let the arrow fly.

Resilient, strong, brave, and totally badass, the Ukrainians took that old saw about making lemonade from lemons and turned it to hard lemonade.

The last part is a STRELA-10 Anti-Aircraft Missile system. This was the missile system used in the movie "Behind Enemy Lines". Two missiles that gave chase to the F-18F Super Hornet that was eventually shot down behind enemy lines.
