Cold War to Ukraine Crisis, Vehicle I-D: MTLB, used by U.S., NATO, and still used by Russia!

Image March 9, 2022 Hutchins AAron

Cold War: Approximately 1947 (due to U.S. President Harry Truman’s Truman Doctrine) to 1991 (Operation Desert Storm, collapse of Soviet Union).

The MTLB is a direct descendant of the PT-76 amphibious tank, as is the BTR-50, ASU-85, ZSU-23-4, and the 1S91 SURN-2K12 Kub antiaircraft missile system. However, all those other PT-76 relatives are rear engine/rear drive, the MTLB is mid-engine/front drive.

Photo dated March 1983, no other information.

The later MTLBu (also called M1976 by U.S./NATO) artillery command tank (mid-engine/front drive), 2S1 SP gun (front engine/front drive), and UR-77 (2S1 chassis) are based on a stretched MTLB chassis (with seven roadwheels instead of six, per side). The even later BMP-23 is based on the 2S1 chassis.

Photo I took one California National Guard drill weekend on NTC, California, in 1984. There were about a dozen MTLBs working with OpFor.

For some reason, NATO likes to add a dash between MT and LB, I have not found this to be the case with Russian sources. The MTLB comes from the Latinized Russian nomenclature; Mnogotselevoy Tyagach Legky Bronirovanny. In Russian Cyrillic it is Многоцелевой Тягач Легкий Бронированный, МТЛБ which is MTLB. In English it means Multipurpose Tractor Light Armored (MTLA). Light armored is for sure, I’ve checked out the MTLBs on Fort Irwin and the armor is so thin that I would not be surprised if 12.7mm (.50 cal) ball ammo could make Swiss cheese out of it.

Photo my father took of MTLB engineer vehicle at USAF air show in California, Summer 1986.

One of my Cold War era books on Soviet vehicles claims the MTLB was an armored version of the MTL (this claim is currently also being made by a internet ‘encyclopedia’). I haven’t found anything about an MTL, what I found is that the predecessor of the MTLB was the ATP, which has no relation to the PT-76 or MTLB. It’s not the first time NATO/U.S. was wrong about anything Soviet (COLD WAR BOATS: MOSKVA CLASS SUBMARINE HUNTERS, STOP CALLING THEM AIRCRAFT CARRIERS!).

During the Cold War, the U.S. Air Force managed to get their own Soviet MTLB. This one was seen on Bolling Air Force Base (now Joint Base Anacostia–Bolling), Washington DC. Photo by Don S. Montgomery, October 1986.

Since the end of the unofficial Cold War, the MTLB has been continually modified by the many countries that still use it.

Operation Jupiter: Evidence captured in Ukraine reveals massive U.S. led global biological warfare op! I’ve been warning about this since 2015!

Video March 7, 2022 Hutchins AAron

Russia claims to have damning evidence the U.S. was using Ukraine for biological warfare experiments in at least thirty Ukrainian biological laboratories. It is yet more evidence of a massive global biological warfare program commanded by the U.S. Army’s Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), that I’ve been reporting since 2015, when I discovered a U.S. military operation called JUPITR ATD. Russia also accuses NATO members like Germany and Poland, and the NATO protectorate Georgia, of being involved in Ukrainian biologic experiments.

In this Russian Ministry of the Defense of Russia video, posted 07MAR2022, it was also discovered that DTRA ops in Ukraine ramped up in 2014 (after the pro-NATO ‘revolution’) and that since then there have been outbreaks of numerous diseases in Ukraine, to the point the United Nations’ World Health Organization (UN-WHO) says you don’t want to go there. Russia says the U.S. biological experiments violates international law and is a war crime:

Update: On 11MAR2022, Reuters revealed that the UN-WHO “advised Ukraine to destroy high-threat pathogens housed in the country’s public health laboratories to prevent any potential spills that would spread disease among the population.”

Vehicle I-D: What happens when both sides use the same weapons?

Video March 4, 2022 Hutchins AAron

Ukraine is the birthplace of Russia. Today’s larger Russia expanded out of Ukraine. In the 20th Century the new Union of Soviet Socialist Republics allowed the creation of a separate Soviet Republic of Ukraine. It was during the time of the Soviet Union that Ukraine became a major manufacturer of weapon systems for the U.S.S.R. In 1991, Ukraine lead the collapse of the Soviet Union by declaring independence. Then there was the creation of the European Union (EU). Both the EU and NATO have been actively involved in ‘behind-the-scenes’ influence of the Ukrainian government, for decades now. Despite that, even today Russia and Ukraine use the same type of major weapon systems. How do you tell them apart during combat?

This T-64BV is not marked, but carries large Russian and Donbas militia flags.

Russia has obviously thought about that because their ground vehicles, along with the military ground vehicles of Donetsk Republic and Lugansk (Luhansk) Republic have been given unique operational markings. They look like Latin alphabet letters but are not. They also indicate the Area of Operation (AO); North in Kiev Oblast, or South in Donbas.

Video from the end of February 2022, Donbas-Lugansk Republic militia and their trucks, BMP-1s and 2S1 SP Guns, all marked with ‘Z’, waiting for orders to move-out:

Somewhere in Donbas.

In the Southern, Donbas area of operation (AO), Russian, Lugansk and Donetsk tracked and wheeled vehicles are marked with a ‘Z’.

Ukrainian made KrAZ armored car, in use by local Donbas forces.

Video of Russians meeting with Lugansk Republic troops, 03MAR2022:

T-64BV somewhere in Donbas.

Video report, posted on 03MAR2022, Ukrainian Ground Forces abandoned a T-64BV, Lugansk Republic forces quickly claimed it by spraying ‘Z‘ symbols on it, and working to repair it for their own use (it was one of two abandoned T-64BVs, the video also shows an abandoned BRDM-2):

Abandoned Ukrainian T-64BV, now in the hands of the Donbas militias as indicated by the ‘Z’ painted on the skirts.

In the Northern Kiev Oblast AO the vehicles are marked with a ‘V’. Video of ‘V‘ marked Russian BMPs, BRTs and T-72B3s entering the Kiev Oblast of Ukraine from Belarus, the road sign gives the location away as the Gomel (Homiel) Oblast, Belarus-Kiev Oblast, Ukraine border crossing (heading towards Chernobyl Exclusion Zone?), 03MAR2022:

When you see a Western news report about Russian activities, if they are talking about Kiev AO (Area of Operation), but the images show vehicles with ‘Z‘ on them then the images are actually from the Donbas AO.

What many people in the United States don’t know is that under President Barack Obama, Iraq was allowed to get weapons from countries considered ‘not friendly’ to the United States, like Iran and Russia. In fact, Iranian Sukhoi 25 aircraft operated inside Iraq, from Iraqi air bases, to help Iraq fight the so-called Islamic State. When Iran left they ‘gifted'(?) the Su-25s to Iraq. These were in addition to the Russian Su-25s acquired by Iraq. They are Su-25KM single seaters and Su-25UBKM two seaters.

MiG 31 crashes in Novgorod

Supposedly, on 29JAN2022 a MiG-31 (NATO reporting name Foxhound) crashed in Novgorod Oblast.

Unconfirmed reports say the plane was trying to take off but could not generate the speed necessary, running off the runway and bouncing off a snow drift.

Looking at the photos (source unknown) it is clear that there was a fire involving the rear cockpit, which caused the forward cockpit and fuselage to drop off.

It is common for MiG-31s to crash, usually blamed on “technical malfunction”.

World War 3, False Flag: China warns Ukraine Crisis is a diversion, true goal of AUKUS is war with China!

February 28, 2022 Hutchins AAron

“What the U.S. report says about China’s Taiwan region is a gross interference in China’s internal affairs and violation of the one-China principle and the basic norms governing international relations. We are firmly opposed to that.”-Senior Colonel Tan Kefei, China’s Ministry of National Defense, 24FEB2022

“If a nation’s defense authorities are obsessed with confrontation and deliberately make waves in the South China Sea, what it will lose is not just the next decade, but also its international credibility and the opportunities to cooperate with regional countries.”-Senior Colonel Tan Kefei, China’s Ministry of National Defense, 24FEB2022, referring to the recently created U.S., U.K. and Australia military pact called AUKUS (Australia United Kingdom United States)

On 18FEB2022, communist China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) published an article essentially calling Joe Biden a war monger, because ever since he took-over from Donald Trump the number of U.S. military deployments overseas has increased (despite the sudden withdrawal from Afghanistan) especially in the Indo-Pacific, and for ulterior reasons: “Meanwhile, as it always views Russia as the most pressing realistic threat, hyping up the Russian threat to Ukraine can fuel up the tension between Russia and European countries, make Europe more dependent on America’s security protection, and therefore justify its reinforcements to the continent.

America’s obsession with the power of force and insistence on sending more troops overseas despite its overall decline is neither good for itself nor conducive to world peace and stability. It will only find itself the target of more criticism and objection if it continues to cling to the Cold War mindset…”
