Armored Legion Lugansk People's Republic

Breakthrough new technology being developed in the People's Republic of Lugansk. Separatists acquire new armored vehicles.


In the Soviet Union, at the Lugansk Locomotive Plant (PAO "Luganskteplovoz"), among other things produced average floating transporter PTS- 2 floating conveyor:

He had long been out of production, nevertheless in enterprise warehouses was found 25 cars stored. These machines for 40 years and now the terrorists are trying to "return to order" these machines. At least one, the terrorists have already placed at the checkpoint.


PTS- 2 is able to transport up to 75 troops, but the carrier is not armored, which automatically makes the "mass grave infantry" at a meeting with members of the armed least one modified Degtyarev-Shpagin heavy machine gun (DShKM).
