About the 2K22 Tunguska SPAAW:

The late twentieth century Cold War saw incredible advancements in aircraft technology. With these advancements, nations began to develop sophisticated air defense systems. Among these were several self-propelled armored vehicles such as the 2K22 Tunguska, first developed by the Soviet Union in the early 1980’s. The Tunguska is armed with a combination of 2A38M 30mm autocannons and varying surface-to-air missiles. The sophisticated IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) radar-tracking system can track aircraft at sixteen kilometers.

Just like the real Tunguska, the kit features a 360-degree turret, collapsible radar, and a functioning suspension system. Coupled with an authentic camouflage pattern and a Russian Tank Commander, this vehicle is essential to armored victory on the battlefield!

The ZiS-3 76mm Field Gun (Officially designated M1942 Divisional Gun) was the most common medium artillery piece used by the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War. Due to the innovated addition of the massive muzzle brake, pre-war 76mm gun barrels could be mated to the light weight ZiS-2 anti-tank gun carriage. This created a compact, mobile, inexpensive, versatile and easy to produce artillery piece that was called, “A masterpiece of artillery systems design.” by Joseph Stalin. The ZiS-3 gun was the main armament used for the Su-76 self-propelled gun. Most ZiS-3 guns were withdrawn from the Red Army after World War II and were later supplied to satellite states. The ZiS-3 was used by communist forces in both the Korean and Vietnam wars.

About the BTR-80:

The BTR-80 is an 8×8 wheeled amphibious armored personnel carrier, designed in the USSR. It was first deployed during the Soviet war in Afghanistan. The BTR-80 variant brought a redesigned mantle, which allows the 14.5mm KPVT and coaxial 7.62mm PKT machine guns to be elevated to a maximum of 60 degrees. This was important because it allowed for better engagement in urban fighting and for low slow flying air targets. The BTR-80 can climb a slope with up to 60% gradient and climb a vertical step of 0.5 m.

Initially developed in 1984, over 5,000+ units have been produced to present day. The BTR-80 has seen action in numerous wars, including the Iraqi insurgency, first and second Chechen Wars, and the Turkish-Kurdish conflicts. Weighing in at 13.6 tonnes, the BTR-80 can hold 3 crew and 7 passengers and reach a total top speed of 80-90km/h, or about 49.7-55.9m/h, and a swim speed of 10km/h, or 6.2m/h. Dozens of countries have forms of the BTR-80 available on demand as part of military vehicles.
