Russian propagandists from News-Front information agency have made a sad mistake again: in the video titled \u201cOpen Doors Days in the Sparta battalion headquarters\u201d<\/a> posted on their YouTube channel, InformNapalm volunteers spotted a Russian modernized BTR-80 with a TKN-4GA-01<\/strong> optical sight produced by the Rostov Optical Mechanical Plant. To clarify, this modification of the BTR-80 has not been exported to Ukraine, thus it could not have been captured from the Ukrainian Armed Forces (!).<\/strong> The so-called \u201cSparta\u201d battalion of the Russian occupation Corp in Donetsk Oblast is headquartered in the territory of the 3rd Building of Donetsk National Technology University (DNTU). Previously, the R-381T Taran<\/strong> radio reconnaissance station and the modern Russian Torn<\/strong> electronic warfare system been spotted there.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The visual differences between the standard and modernized versions of the BTR-80 are shown in the picture below. It is noteworthy, that the APC in the video has an old light instead of the new PL-1 laser illuminator<\/strong> which was there earlier, when this APC participated in the parade.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Organizers of the show tried to mislead visitors and presented this BTR as the old Soviet BTR-70.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It is worth mentioning that in October, 2016, InformNapalm volunteers discovered a similar modernized BTR-80 in the territory of the Precast Concrete Products plant <\/a>\u00a0in Makiivka, Donetsk Oblast.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here is a small bonus (to annoy the News-Front propagandists): their video shows another Russian military vehicle – the Ural-4320 military truck with the YMZ-238 diesel engine (its distinctive features are an air filter mounted on a left fender and an extended engine area). Mass production of this modification of the Ural truck has started in 1994 and it has never entered service in Ukraine.<\/p>\n
