In an Australian military ranges appeared first in the form of a static target Russian T-80 and infantry fighting vehicles BMP-3.
In his comments to the photos released by the Russian newspaper notes, that if the BMP-3 is quite believable (true, Infrared Illuminator is marked on the wrong side), the creators of the tank over the reliability is not pursued. The contour of the target from a distance resembles the original, but the tower is clearly pumped up. Illuminator "Luna" painted on the left, and the elements of dynamic protection "Contact" for some reason are depicted behind, which is not on a real machine.

In the same time, should not forget, the Australian Defense Force, despite its name, He lit up far from their shores: together with the US Armed Forces, she participated in the campaigns in Korea, Vietnam and Iraq. And last year, the media reported on the atrocities of the Australian troops in Afghanistan, where their victims were civilians.
maybe, Canberra and in the future will refuse to understand part in one of Washington's military adventures, which he declared a zone of its interests of the entire globe.
