I saw some with “Vostok” (”East”) written on the side. I’ll have to llok at them agaon to see what else is written on them.
agaon = again
The Vostok, or East Brigade, is who these tanks are operating with. They are a brigand composed of Chechen irregulars. Mercenaries basically. Imagine arming the Bloods and the Crips with heavy arms and giving them a name and sending them into Tijuana.
Russia’s violent, incestuous relationships with the Chechens is beyond rational comprehension. These are some of the most ruthless people in the world. They will happily kill Russians, Georgians, or anyone else who they are paid to.
After Beslan and the Moscow theater you would think they would learn their lesson.
