For Sale - Gators! And an old Coot...

The Russian Ministry of Defense DRMO site has a couple of interesting new entries:

The Large Landing Ship BDK "Mitrofan Moskalenko" and her sister ship, the BDK "Aleksandr Nikolayev" are being put up for sale and re-use.

Caveat Emptor: The Moskalenko is in Severomorsk and the Nikolayev is in the Vladivostok area and it is probably cash and carry. Ships may not be in the condition depicted in the above photo.

Plus - for the ultra-paranoid personality, who cant get to their underground lair when the nuclear war hits and needs to coordinate their forces during the Battle of Armageddon, you can buy your very own Il-22 Coot B airborne command post.

Hired goons to fly the plane, operate the gear and give the orders to fire the "lasers" not included.
