Not in Ukraine, but an Iskander shot away...

Tim Kidwell

Pawel started this thread because he is a member of our community and wanted to let others in the community know how he's doing and what he's experiencing. Posts expressing concern, empathy, sympathy, and the like, are all welcome. Please keep your politics and political opinions to yourself. As I posted elsewhere, the ongoing war in Ukraine is not a forbidden topic, but keep the politics out of it. If that is too challenging (which is understandable), then avoid the topic altogether while on the Forum and save your views for another venue.

Pawel, though we may try, rarely can words adequately express the grief and horror many of us feel when we see what is unfolding in Ukraine, and I do not have the time to ponder my word choice to meet the gravity of this moment for this post. Suffice it to say, unreserved thanks to Poland and other countries whose citizens have opened their arms to accept Ukrainian refugees. And we cannot but hope our various nations can bring this war to a close, sooner rather than later, ending the bloodshed and violence. Be safe. Be well. Take care.

Hello everybody!

It's been some time and regrettably the war is still going on with loss of life and no end in sight. The sad but very natural thing is people are gradually getting used to it.

Milions of Ukrainians are living in Poland and some of them will probaly stay for good. Interestingly in some places like shops or in the streets you see signs both in Polish and Ukrainian, or hear announcements in both languages.

One thing got mo to post today - there is an exhibition of destroyed Russian armored vehicles travelling around Polish cities. Now they are in my home town, so I took a few shots and wanted to share them with you as a modelling reference:

Thanks for looking and have a nice day

Paweł

I totaly agree with both Tin Kidwell and Gmorrison. It is sad to see these things happen and the refugees that  have to relocate because of war . But many nations have accepted them with open arms . Powel take care of yourself and your family . I will keep you all in my prayers . Be safe and well.

Pawel, thank you for sharing those photos. Those hulks speak volumes for events in Ukraine over the past six months. 

Pawel,

So glad that you are doing well and are safe.  Thank you to the people of Poland and the other neighboring countries for helping the people of Ukraine.  I pray every day that this violence ends and a sense of normalacy returns to your country and the others.  Thank you for the pictures of the vehicles too.  They'll be great refernces for anyone who will want to model the effects of this war.

  Thank you Pawel. I have a couple of old russian combat vehicle kits that I would like to " shoot up" these photos help give a solid reference to the damage. Stay safe my friend.

Thanks for thinking of us all old mate. These photos will make a very useful reference for damaged vehicles of any type. Thanks Pawel and thanks Poland. Stay safe and well.
