Dear DRG.

The tank "Black Eagle" - the experimental tank of the Russian Federation. Such tanks now are not present even in the Russian army. How these tanks in general have appeared in OOB South Korea?

Yours faithfully.



They were put in because someone a few years ago read a news story that suggested the Koreans were interested in the tank so it was put in and dated a few years in the future ( at that time ). If we leave things like this out people complain because we supposedly not staying on top of the news and when we do and it turns out to be a false report we get criticized for that and personally I'm getting fed up with it. There are tanks in the Turk OOB that are "iffy" as well but we put them in anyway. The "Black Panther" has been added to the Turk OOB as a "prototype" because there are reports the Turks are interested and the T-84 Yatagan that was included in the main formations last patch has been move to "prototype" status for the next patch because AT THE TIME it was added it looked like the Turks might actually buy it but now it's looking less likely so it hasn't been removed but it's not in an "active" formation any longer and the introduction date has been pushed back.


OK?

You set the start date for BTR-T in your Russian OOB in 2000 which I find HIGHLY questionable. In 2000 that vehicle was still being reported to be a one of prototype. I would LOVE to see some real evidence that it was being actively used by Russian troops at that time.( or even now for that matter. I consider the 2008 date in our OOB "generous" under the circumstances ) There are some lovely photos of it all painted up pretty but that's it, never with troops aroound. Kind of like the photos I've seen in the past of the "Black Eagle"
