These again as indicated are only if you have the time. I'll address each "
back story" below together and submit the picture(s) after the comments section, by it's above corresponding number. Again each picture is labeled by
Country and
UNIT #'s as required.
1. While hunting a better picture for the
OPLOT-M UNIT 064 (Submitted) I noticed
UNIT 061/T-84 OPLOT had an
OPLOT-M picture.
Concerning
UNIT 063/OPLOT+ I'd rename it the
OPLOT-M which it really is. The older name is confusing and at odds with the refs in general as provided in sequence of development below.

2. It seemed on most search's I conducted for the EC 725 now
SUPER COUGAR H225M, pictures of the
Swiss COUGAR kept showing up, so I followed the trail.
Why is coming up in my searches? Did the Swiss buy the
SUPER COUGAR H225M recently?
Now you know why it took so long to filter through those pictures I submitted in my last Post. I forgot before there was a "Super Cougar" there was a "
Cougar" the results where also showing up for them as well which is what the Swiss are using. It's fairly easy to filter them out, they don't have the more advanced nose
FLIR turret and if I remember the side window count or configuration was slightly different. Along with a new picture (The one it has appears to be from
Brazil.), I recommend the following
CHANGE...
Switzerland/UNIT 222/COUGAR AS532 TOW//
3. Australia has the
USN flying support missions for them with their
A-4 SKYHAWKS. This came up while looking into an helicopter issue I've had on the books for a longtime to be somewhat addressed later with updated pictures at least initially, for the following
UNITS 285-287. That's the USN Power Projection World Wide (
USNPPWW)!
PICTURES BY THE NUMBERS ABOVE...
1. Ukraine/UNIT 061/T-84 OPLOT :
2. Switzerland/UNIT 222/COUGAR AS532 TOW:
3. Australia/UNITS 285-287/A-4G SKYHAWK/As posted in unit number order//:
Those seem to represent either their major Naval Squadrons or their only ones. I've not had the time to check. I thought I had found some great RAAF pictures of them, however, upon closer examination they had
KIWI's on the tail section (New Zealand) vice the
KANGAROO's (Australia). So yes unlike when I submitted that
NH-90 Helo for
New Zealand a few years back, at least this time, I stopped myself.
What's left are some Australian helo pictures (Tigers) replacing the general shot with ones actually using the weapons assigned them in the OOB. Without digging for more, as presented in number order, a couple of the pictures are set to be used for a couple of units in the OOB.
I also have some really
GREAT Swiss F-5 pictures to replace the
drawings of the same. One shows a fly by of the
Matterhorn, really cool!
Again, I've labeled those by Country and UNIT(s) numbers. Except me going beyond my stated mission goals, I hope the way the data has been presented thus far is easier then in past submissions for all concerned.
Regards,
Pat
