From FranL - 15mm Modern Russian Spetsnaz and Panthers... (52 Points)

...from Oddzial Osmy and Evil Bear Wargames.


Modern Russian Spetsnaz (Special Purpose) are general terms used for a variety of special operation forces (or regular forces assigned to special tasks),  Russia has a lot of these units, GRU, Naval, VDV and last seen in the Ukraine I believe or the "Little Green Men"





Now these are British Panthers but the Russians have bought several hundred but I don't know if they're called the same thing or even if the Spetsnaz use them but in all my time dealing with 15mm resin and metal vehicles, these are the best out there for quality!





So we have 17 troopers plus the 3 vehicles!

And Fran's modern juggernaut keeps rolling inexorably forward...  The Spetsnaz are excellent (though they need to be in Ukrainian uniforms...) but I have to say I'm fascinated with the Panthers. I had no idea that the UK manufactured these. Nonetheless, it's sad to see that they are replacing that 4-wheeled icon of British off-road adventure, the Land Rover (I've wanted a Defender 110 since I was a boy).
Great work Mr. Lee!
