Or alternately, a metal tube painted to look like one.

They're almost certainly working on them, but what they put in parades doesn't necessarily say much. The vehicle itself would be legit, I guess.

Though the vehicle is either an original or cloned MAZ missile vehicle from the 60s, so not really impressive

IIRC they have kept up domestic production and development of the design to suite their needs, since those needs differ quite a bit from the Soviets.

That looks like someone saw the Herkimer Battle Jitney in Mystery Men and said, "good start, but make it bigger with more power."

Overcompensating much?

serpineslair@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 311d (1 reply)

I guess size matters to Kim.

LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 311d

He has to compensate SOMEhow.

And it was built in 1940, so old it doesn't even work anymore, so they parade it around to feign feign feign
