Everything about the vatniks seems closer to Skaven than it does orks or orcs.

I could go on, but you get the point. Of course, the Skaven are actually a force to be reckoned with unlike Russians
You know, I always wondered how they did that shit during WWI. I'm guessing they had something similar, but more clunky. I refuse to believe that more than a paltry number of trenches were hand-dug.
>ww1
You'd be wrong. Machinery at the time was nowhere near advanced enough to work consistently in the conditions at the front. During tank assaults it was common to have a quarter of the tanks break down on their way from the rear to the front.
there were a number of tractors with digging wheels like the thread starter, but most of it was by hand yes
famously at the start of ww2 the british (read churchill) made cultivator no6 specifically to dig a trench straight towards the enemy and then pop up - it didn't work, of course, and it never got further than a field in england
with two shovels me and some friends dug out a whole trench that wrapped all four sides of our setup at the beach in a couple hours (granted it was like 2 feet deep), pretty easy to imagine hundreds of men, who's entire job is to be trained and disciplined to carry out physical tasks as a unit, digging out a trench network over a couple days/weeks
You were digging two feet into fricking sand.
Go to the forest where it is rock, stones and tree roots all of the way down.
With mosquitos, biting flies, irritating plant life and so on, and you cannot wash off properly once you get dirty.
I had to dig a two and a half foot trench for 100 feet recently and the tree roots and clay made it a very hard job.
Everyone else already explained what it is (an entrenching digger) so I'll just point out what chassis it's on. That's a T-55 with a funny truck shaped hat.
It's an AT-T Artillery Tractor. Basically a T-54/55 chassis, engine / transmission and tracks with a truck cab and flat bed instead of an actual tank hull.
Ironically many were made at the Kharviv tank plant.
trench digger, unironically made in Ukraine (Kharkiv) on the chassis of T55 and ZIS cab
it later becomes the "Kharkhivka" north/south pole expedition vehicle
someone more knowledgeable may feel free to correct me
and to further correct myself as i did my research:
so, this is actually T-62 chassis, turned at 180 degrees, so the front of it is actually the tank's butt
they put the cabin on top, where the engine is and start cracking
the Kharkovchanka was build on a T-54 chassis, basically the same way and the concept was originally developed in Ukraine
Proper dieselpunk, innit
You forgot to put

in the title.
Some Wacky Races shit, Ill tell you what
I only watched the show as a kid on boomerang because of the penelope girl.
BAT-M Engineering Vehicle
Shit looks like it came straight out of warhammer
It's a trench digger
old trenching machine. if it works it works. looks like they're trying to dig in some more.
it's for digging trenches. That rotor bucket at the back folds down and your drive backwards, thus cutting a trench
Can it make zigzag trench, or are ruskies going with straight strenches again?
A BTM-3 I think.
Straight, zigzag, and curved! 270 to 810 m/h depending on the soil. 1.1 to 1.5 meters deep. Good old soviet materiel from the 50's.
You can dig out your own fighting position out of the straight line.
They're not orcs, they're orks.

True
Chinese are skaven. Russians are beastmen.
I remember seeing one of these in the vehicle graveyard in Anomaly
Jeez, I watched videos on youtube where vatnicks buy this rusty abandoned shit from the 60s and restore it
A trench digger. It digs trenches believe it or not.

Nah they were dug by hand.

I've read memoirs from WW1 soldiers
I never read about any trench digging machines but I have read about them digging by hand

Hans, leave the swampgermans alone.

Thousands of dudes digging in the same spot at the same time. Millions across the whole front.
you start with foxholes, then connect the foxholes etc etc making the trench more sophisticated
oh my fricking god
I figured that the first one was kinda familiar
Frick diggers

It looks like it's straight out of a stop motion tim burton movie about Russia
BTM-3 trench digger.
OI HUMMIES WHERE'Z THE RED PAINTINGS
Its essentially a military caterpillar.

I thought that cab looked familiar.
correcting myself - Kharkovchanka, not Kharkivka
