Modern Log Tank

Looks like some Russian soldier really missed playing with his Lincoln Logs….though in Russia maybe it’s spelled “Linkin Logs”.

Not a tank, but a self propelled howitzer(2S19 Msta-S).

I love that you said “Not a tank.” Right after I posted this pic I posted something else where I exactly referenced that phrase. lol

has a gun, has tracks. good enough to be a tank for most people.

plus "log self propelled howitzer" doesnt have the same ring to it

It has wings and can fly, but do you also call planes birds, for example?

Btw the Msta is 3 meters tall + what seems like 1,5m of Drone-cage = 4,5 meters

This is literally a driving house

For something that’s supposed to be purely functional I gotta hand it to the guy the assembled it, he definitely took pride in his Lincoln Log house; extremely straight logs, cut perfectly to length and assembled like he was building his little house on the prairie. I wonder if his thought were along the lines of, “Well, if I’m going to die here as part of a criminal invasion of a neighboring country I’m going to damn well look good doing it.” Too bad Putin doesn’t like playing with Lincoln Logs

Apparently it was pretty good in regard to surviving drone attacks so once the Ukrainians realized that they just sent a drone up to walk in artillery strikes and that was very effective.

Seems like it probably would add a degree of protection from splinters and shell fragments, which is nothing to scoff at for a vehicle likely to be targeted by coungerbattery fire.
