ECH356185 1:35 Echelon Ukrainian Crisis (starting with Conflict in Crimea)

The Ukrainian Crisis saw the greatest use of the T-64BV tank in combat. It is the mainstay of the Ukrainian army and land forces. A number were captured and reused againsts its previous owner. This set covers markings of both sides since the start of the conflict. The Ukrainian BTR-80s usually feature the “parachute” emblem along with the standard tactical markings and battle stripes to distinguish themselves from the oppositions. A few were uniquely painted with unit markings – such as the one in this set.

The opposition forces had a lot of standard and non-standard unit markings, as they were quickly applied and resent back into the battlefield. They also fielded a variety of tanks, not of Ukrainian origins (sources unknown/unconfirmed). Among these were T-72B1 with ERA and T-72B3. A few of the T-72B1 markings are also included in this set.
