Does anyone know of some multi purpose or airfield related vehicles the soviets used during cold war era?

carriers, weapon loaders, aircraft towing, refueling etc.

Does anyone know the model / make of the sight that was used for the xms in OFP:CWC? Also, any media related to that sight would also be helpful, but I can search once I know the name of it.

Hasn't it just been a red dot? An aimpoint sight? http://media.moddb.com/images/games/...flashpoint.jpg

It may well be an Aimpoint on the box art but it doesn't look much like any
of the models that were around in the time-period that the game is set in
(1985). The earliest ones were a very distinctive, angular shape. Red dot
sights first came out in about 1975, but they weren't robust enough for
military use.

Col. Faulkner. We may have to find some way to download your brain to e-book and host it on bit torrent. It would make the crowning piece in any military library.

Agreed! Went into OFP today and took a look at the thing. Looks very plain and a lot different from the box picture indeed. More like those:

I should have posted that the issue was resolved. Thanks very much for your replies, though, DiFool. Col. Faulkner was able to tell me that the scope I was to build was a Colt 3x20 scope in pm a few weeks ago.
