Det där fordonet är baserat på ett T80 chassi avsett för att transportera tokhöjdare i radiakkontaminerade miljöer.Den "allsmäktiga" ryska armén gräver djupt i de gamla förråden... Ännu ett fordon som hör hemma på museum har dykt upp vid fronten.
Another One Of Russia’s Nuclear-Proof Transports Just Got Blown Up In Ukraine
There might be just a few Ladogas left, one of which is in a museum.
In the late 1970s, Soviet authorities asked the Kirovsky Design Bureau in Saint Petersburg to develop a nuclear reconnaissance and command vehicle.
And not just any nuclear reconnaissance and command vehicle, but the best protected, most comfortable nuke vehicle imaginable. A sealed, self-contained and thickly armored turretless tank with remote cameras and its own oxygen supply.
The result was the Ladoga. Kirovsky produced just a handful of the tracked vehicles—perhaps four or five. One spent some time in the fallout zone around the nuclear power plant in Chernobyl following the plant’s deadly 1986 meltdown. Aside from another that landed in a museum, the Ladogas then ... disappeared.
Until recently. In March, a Ukrainian drone spotted and struck a Ladoga rolling toward Ukrainian lines near the Kreminna Forest in eastern Ukraine. And earlier this week, the Ukrainians hit a second Ladoga, setting it ablaze.

Man börjar undra vad generalerna har i åtanke när denna typ av fordon placeras i Ukraina? Nåt stridsvärde har den ju inte. Taktiska nukes är det jag tänker på.
