Alternative War: Modern Tachanka

A Tachanka (Ukrainian and Russian тачанка) is a horse-drawn combat vehicle armed with a heavy machine gun (MG) in the rear, usually simple carriages or open wagons. A Tachanka could be pulled by two, three, or four horses. The crew consisted of two or three soldiers, the MG operator, and a driver (who also served as a replacement for the operator). The Tachanka was allegedly invented by the Ukrainian anarchist Nestor Machno. Here is a captured piece in Berlin:

The image in the heading is likely from a similar area: only instead of horses, there is a truck in the front and the lower part is a trailer that has taken on the functional turret of a shot down BMP2. If it shoots well, it's good.
