M-84 Uskok
Universally recognized as one of the ugliest fighting vehicles in Europe and perhaps the world at large, the Uskok was designed to take a beating and deliver one too. Loaded down with reactive armor, standard applique, hard-kill APS devices, integrated soft-kill APS devices, as well as a multitude of other defensive features, the -84 is capable of delivering its internal payload of usually six dismounts to any combat scenario whilst additionally protecting its crew of three (sometimes four depending on the necessity for a combat network officer in large-scale maneuvers). And just by looking at the AFV, one can see that it packs a hefty wallop in the way of firepower. Although the M-84 has yet to see combat due to the intervention of coalition forces in the Balkans, it is believed to be one of the most capable heavy IFVs to date given its unprecedented firepower, armor, and agility (the latter deriving from the fact it is built on a modified version of the Klepht chassis with a ramped up powerhouse).
I've been feeling a bit antsy these past few days, so I figured I'd complete a project that's been sitting around on my PC for awhile now and post it before my flight out to the Old World. Naturally it's a horrendous lumpy thing, but so is the source material--the recently unveiled Russian T-15. I'll see about taking photos of that MRAP, too.
