**_Operation Iron Harvest: The Kournikova Gambit_**

The morning mist clings to the fields of western Belarus, veiling the hulking silhouettes of Russian armor amassed like a steel tide. Battlegroup Kournikova, a composite force of mechanized infantry, drone reconnaissance, and enough tracked vehicles to make a scrapyard blush, has reached its jump-off point. The local terrain—once quiet farmland—is now a crucible of tension, where the hum of diesel engines drowns out birdsong and the scent of churned earth mixes with cordite.

Commanded by the enigmatic Colonel Irina Kournikova, whose reputation for unorthodox tactics and brutal efficiency precedes her, the battlegroup is poised to punch through NATO’s forward screen. But this is no blitzkrieg. It’s a testbed for hybrid warfare—where misinformation, electronic jamming, and cyber sabotage are as lethal as artillery.

Unbeknownst to Kournikova, a ragtag coalition of Baltic special forces, local partisans, and Western advisors has embedded deep within the region. Their mission: disrupt, delay, and dismantle. What begins as a skirmish will spiral into a chaotic ballet of ambushes, drone strikes, and desperate last stands.

And when the smoke clears, the farmers of Brest will inherit a new crop—twisted metal, scorched hulls, and the whispered legends of a battle that was never supposed to happen.

Love the new building.
But what I really like is all the armor.
What a treat to see.
It looks like heavy weight fight, round 2 is about to start.

[Ultravanillasmurf]

That is a nice selection of armour.

[mikedemana]

That train station is gorgeous. The armor, well, it looks like it is crying out for a nice big, on-target JDAM...

I'm back now.  And what do I find, but a pile of lovely pics?  Well done, Gareth.  Well done.

If ever I find myself in your neck of the woods...

[Lord Raglan]

Thank you gentlemen, your kind words of encouragement are appreciated 👍🏻

New battle report coming soon.

German Puma IFV (Schützenpanzer or short SPz). The Puma is one of the world's best-protected IFVs, while still having a high power-to-weight ratio. The primary armament is a Rheinmetall 30mm MK 30-2/ABM autocannon, plus with 2 x turret-mounted EuroSpike Spike LR missile launcher.

The Puma IFV is a beast of modern battlefield engineering. Designed to replace the aging Marder, it’s a prime example of German precision and tactical foresight. Its modular armor system (AMAP) allows scalable protection levels, and despite weighing up to 43 tons when fully up-armored, it still boasts a top speed of 70 km/h thanks to its 1,088 PS MTU engine.

Plus the 30mm cannon has an airburst mode.

Nice models.

[CapnJim]

Very nice.  Well done, Gareth!
