Can anyone point me to some pictures of Cold Era Tank antenna for the Soviets?

Specifically looking for a picture of a mast antenna for a R-130 radio.

"R-130 Vehicular Radio: The R-130 is primarily installed in Russian command vehicles. It has a short range of 13km with a 4-meter whip antenna, 19 km with a 10-meter whip, or 88 km with a mast antenna."

You rock Dude! Thank you! Only on TMP.

Fat chance I can do that in 6mm but what the heck i'll give it a go.

Pretty sure that's the mast antenna. A 10m whip would probably be nothing more than a piece of monofilament fishing line (or maybe plastic broom bristle), and that's in 15mm.

I'd honestly use ~0.5mm diameter music wire in 6mm, put a drop of superglue over the end of the antenna.

Edit: need to read the whole damn original post.
