Remember the tanks that had the marking painted on them as Z ( zed in English or zee in American English).
There is no Q or ( cue) sound in Russian Cyrillic , no way to use it.
The Russian keyboard is not QWERTY it is JCUKEN.
Take a look at the letter placement and see which letter takes up the place of a Q.
Yes it’s a unique Russian letter that is written as a backwards Z.
Just another coincidence to add to the list.
They marked their tanks with a Q👍
My Russian keyboard (yes, have bought 3 of them in Russia over the years) has й on the key with a English Q.
Й is a short i, similar to the y in the word buoy.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_I
If a Russian wanted to write the sound kyu/cue they would write it as кю.
I was just about to say this. Got one of my useless degrees in Russian language and Literature, kek.
