RT @HannaNotte: #Assad has fallen. The repercussions for #Russia's regional clout will likely be manifold & profound - even if it manages to keep its bases in #Syria.

RT @praisethesteph: #Ukraine/#Russia 🇺🇦🇷🇺:

🇺🇦#Ukrainian BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle with BM-7 'Parus' turret, in service with 1st Mechanized Company, of the 2nd Mechanized Battalion, of the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade.

The BM-7 'Parus' was mounted on the BMP-1 chassis, most likely from a damaged Ukrainian BTR-4, which according to the desert camouflage of the turret was from the batch originally intended for Iraq.
In addition to the "new" turret, the vehicle also received anti-drone cages that cover the sides and top of the vehicle.
