Re: Worlds Armed Forces Pictures III

Thanks for the pix BD, it's a hard time for you. I noticed the Georgian tanks, they look similar to the T-72/T-80, but they are heavily covered by ERA bricks. The ERA bricks are placed untidily, that they must be manually modified. Does ERA provide effective protection to the tanks, because I can see some Georgian tank heavily damaged and burnt from the news.
