The TMS-65 machine can carry out special treatment (degassing, disinfection) with a gas or gas-droplet method of heavy military equipment, equipment, low buildings and structures, as well as carry out disinsection of areas (areas). Also, the TMS-65 "knows how" to put powerful smoke screens to hide the actions of its troops from observation by the enemy.

In connection with the spread of the virus, chemical and biological troops of Russia go to the aid of Italy. Apparently there will be used similar machines to disinfect cities.

Hope you all are OK under this pandemic, USSR.

Good luck to those troops.

It would be an interesting world if every Navy was only Rescue and Hospital ships, instead of Carriers and Subs. It sure would, you know?

We also have quarantine. But not as scary as in Europe or in your country.

Putin in a protective suit visited a medical center in Kommunark, where patients with coronavirus lie
Something as microscopically tiny, and seemingly insignificant, as a virus has the real ability to completely end human life.

Or at least sure put a "dent" in our worldwide numbers.

And here we have been believing that we are the most important living thing here on the planet. Believing we have "domnion over all living things of the earth".

We are not as "important", as all-powerful and almighty as we think we are.

Every now and then like 1348, 1918, and now we get a reminder. It might help us some to learn more respect for everything around us, including the stuff we can't even see. You know?

This might not translate too easily into Russian, USSR, so sorry for that but thanks for your posts!

Pilots of the Aerospace Forces have fully mastered the Su-57 aircraft in all flight modes, including limiting modes of altitude, speed and overload.

In the course of the flight missions, VKS pilots completed single and group aerobatics, group flight as part of a link, flights at low and extremely low altitudes, as well as combat use of aviation weapons.

The final stage of the flights was the implementation of elements of close air combat, including the use of super-maneuverable modes of the aviation complex.

Mobile parts of the RHB defense forces of the Western and Central military districts are involved in measures to increase the level of preparedness for solving the tasks of localizing emergency situations associated with the emergence of a threat of infection and the spread of viral infections.

Impressive equipment and protocols/procedures, really, for sure!

If only solving the whole contagion problem was as easy as just "cleaning up". Wish that it was.

The problem though is us, we give it to each other. The virus just hitchhikes, cleverly, from one of us to another.

Without the social distancing, even the best equipment in the world hasn't got a chance.

But those mobile forces of yours are very impressive, USSR!

Quarantine measures are essentially military measures.
People are used to living as they wish. Rarely caring for others.
So nature decided to teach this sad lesson.

Thanks for the video's of the Russian equipment. It gives a little more insight of the equipment.

One observation that I always had of the T-34 was the footprint of the tracks and how light, or thin that they "appear". As wide as they are, they look to be able to break easily. Knowing the history behind the T-34 the track was up to the task.

Thirty legendary T-34 tanks after overhaul arrived in Alabino near Moscow
I ran across a vid once (can no longer locate it) that showed a remarkable feature of the T-34:

- In the rush into production there were understandably some less-then-perfect issues with the T-34

- One of which was a track pin that had a tendency to "shake" out of the link, and then throw the track

- There was no time for re-design, so at one end of the tank an angled piece of iron was just welded into place that simply slammed any drifting pin back into place every time it passed by

Simple. Effective. Brilliant.

It wasn't "pretty". But it worked.

My background is USN Seabee. The Seabee motto is "Can Do" (make it happen).

I salute that Can Do spirit of the T-34. An argument can be made it saved the world from Hitler and his Fascism.

These tanks will take part in the Victory Parade (Moskow) this year. Perhaps there will be other equipment of those years.
T34 will also go in our city (it stood for 70 years, in 2015 it drove for the first time)
