Default Re: Iraq errors report

Unit 369: Roland
Initial availability date should be moved back to 1/1981 at least

SIPRI lists 1981 and it was officially confirmed by the french government in 2003
“A French Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said Friday that Roland 1 missile systems were sent to Iraq from 1980 to 1981 and Roland 2 systems from 1983 to 1986.”

Unit 525: MT-LB w/ZU-23
A clone of it but with class 22 SP Flak should be made available with 1/1983-4/2003 as availability dates.

In any case I have plenty of pictures of them on my hard disk and I can post more if necessary. Apparently they were a rather common sight in the old iraqi army.

EDIT
I almost forgot: unit 392 should have a 4/2003 cutoff too.
