First off this is
not here to piss anyone off. This is to
finish what I started because that's what I do, in fixing the
Russian T-90S export situation as posted in this Thread on
Page #88/Post #879 from that post...
"India will
need further investigation I don’t understand why the
STEEL and
HEAT numbers do not match the above. I believe the current numbers are
incorrect for the
T-90S for India."
UNGANDA/T-90S/UNIT 031/AS REVISED on Page #88/Post #879/THIS IS THE BASELINE T-90S MODEL//
SIPRI data supplied as reference points to support the timeframe of the below. These are from Russia to India. India also "kit" builds their own T-90S Series UNITS. India is the largest user of the T09S Series tanks.

can change on a dime"
This completes the T-90S Series fixes. If these don't get in this year it's OK,
AFTERALL this is
INDIA we're talking about!?!
My mission is complete and my word is kept per the top para 2.
I just want to point out the whole ABRAMS, T-90S M109 SPA issues happened by accident. The valid
USMC M1A1 FEP (Suhiir thank you!) was a valid issue that needed to be addressed.
However going back to the to the rest they started with valid issues as well the
T-90S for VIETNAM I think it was and the
M109A5/A5+ for BRAZIL.
We would find that in most cases, the issues stemmed from already game entered equipment errors from when Andy and Don "
took over control" of the game,
misidentified photos that were submitted which caused if you will
"UNIT confusion and misinformation", equipment submitted based on
Prototype and or Initial Low Rate production dates instead of
FOC (In some cases I would've been
THRILLED if they used IOC dates because they were that XXXXXX XX, i.e.
M109A6 PALIDAN WAS OVER 10 YEARS EARLY) and not to Pontificate
on the issue I will just end with
plain laziness in not checking sources.
It's been a good year, it would've been
more enjoyable and fruitful equipment wise if we didn't have so much
rework to do.
I hope you all have a great weekend!!
For CINCLANTHOME and myself it'll be "
Play Ball" on Spring Trng Opening Day!!
GOOD NIGHT where ever you are!!
Regards,
Pat
