Found this photo at the antique shop the other day. I thought his cap badge was very distinctive, but did not recognize it. Wondering if anyone else can help place him.

First few pieces of the AFV Club M54 kit started. Happy with how things are fitting together. Tons of tiny pieces, taking my time to make sure small errors don't become big problems.

On this day in 2022, the brave defenders of Snake Island made their immortal response to the Moskva:
"Snake Island, I, Russian warship, repeat the offer: put down your arms and surrender, or you will be bombed. Have you understood me? Do you copy?"
"Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

You defend your country from a bunch of orcs, who sent a hit squad to kill you. Their daily missiles slaughter your citizens, destroy your hospitals, cause civilian blood shed at bus stops - and then two foul, evil men ambush you in front of the press, so they can pillage your country.
I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.
