SU-152s at Chernobyl: https://twitter.com/Ninja998998/status/1486560814026747907?t=9IimGnmJjOnw2FHxpOgSyg&s=19 Though I'm not sure only 41 years post-war really qualifies in the context of this thread.
Wondered when I was going to see a WW2 era weapon being used in Ukraine. Ukraine Defence Mosin sniper rifle. I bet someone says it's actually postwar.
Hadn't seen this. Reputedly Donbass war (2014). Memorial IS3 pressed into service? https://twitter.com/Taurevanime/status/1502590383448104961?s=20&t=C1GlPbNeLTkfN2M1X4ZwRw Various confusing/conflicting tales of its deployment, gun working/not working, actually fought/more of a symbolic presence etc.

Sooner or later this couple had to appear The iron hog in the foreground must be an Italian MG-42/59, some of which were delivered to UA.
for Herr von Poop: ASU-85 in mint condition, discovered in Poltava oblast. It is quite possible that this antique was taken from the Peace Park (Park Mira) in Krementchuk: Отзыв о Музей военной техники под открытым небом (Украина, Кременчуг) | Маленький музей, сделанный с любовью. Since the main gun fires the same ammunition as the occasionally sighted D-48 field gun, it is possible that this museum piece represents even more than purely moral support
Maxim MG - check Mosin-Nagant - check PPSch-41 - check Degtjarjow DP - check D-1 M1943 - check OK, at the moment Russia is still overhauling 800 T-62M - but at the current loss rates: I know that Russia had also once bought 30 T-34/85 from Laos.... And yes, it seems totally unprofessional and rather Germanocentric to look at Panzerfaust 3 in the Ukrainian army , but.....
Mosin-Nagant with night vision scope... What might come next? A Quad-Maxim with radar for air defence? ... or a T-34/85 with barrel-mounted Sagger ATGM?
