World War III: Soviet New Releases


T-80 Tank Company (Plastic) (TSBX21)

The T-80 series of tanks was the culmination of a 30 year project to design and field a Soviet turbine-powered tank. The updated T-80U had a more powerful 1250hp turbine engine, wider tracks and mounted Kontakt-5 explosive reactive armour. It is faster, more manoeuvrable and better armoured than any other Soviet tank in service.

Soviet motor rifle companies equipped with the BMP-3, Boevaya Mashina Pehoty 3 or ‘Infantry Combat Vehicle 3’, share the same role as their comrades equipped with the BMP-1 and BMP-2. Designed to keep pace with the leading armoured formations, the BMP-3 company will charge forward and dismount as near to the objective as possible.

The BRDM-2 (Boyevaya Razvedyvatelnaya Dozornaya Mashina 2, or Combat Reconnaissance Patrol Vehicle 2) is a fourwheeled amphibious reconnaissance vehicle. The BRDM-2 has been designed to cope with a range of terrain and is the basis for a number of different weapon systems.
