A fine – and disturbing – set of photos from South Ossetia taken by amateur photographer Ilia Plehanov, at English Russia.

Very difficult to tell who’s who in those shots. I’m assuming that the photog and her link http://navoine.ru/ are both Russian(?).
That’d suggest that the burnt out tanks, and their cremated crews, were Georgian.
Any armour gurus out there want to hazard a guess as to the make and models?
They don’t seem to offer a lot of crew protection…LikeLike
