Default Re: Polish and Bulgarian OOBs

There is a new detailed article from 2021 on Polish ATGMs- earlier I had more general info.

030 BRDM Trzmiel - deliveries starting from 1963, used in units from 1964 only (or late 63, but there is no precise info) (now 1/62). Effectively withdrawn in 1978 (although stored until 1985).
Needs change of a starting date in 082 SP-ATGM Platoon

To be precise, initially until 1963 they were used in four-vehicle batteries (I guess, two-vehicle platoons), later in three-vehicle platoons (and six-vehicle batteries).

433 GAZ-69 Trzmiel - two launchers delivered in 1964, but only in 1965 a battery was formed in an airborne division (now 1/62). Should have radio x3 - only 8 vehicles.

033 BRDM Malutka - should have radio x3 - actually a couple of vehicles only (2 or 12). Named BRDM-M (proposed: BRDM-M Malutka). Should vanish with an advent of BRDM-2 Malutka2

024 BRDM-2 Malutka2 - delivered only in 1974 (now 1/73). I suggest name BRDM2 Malutka-P (it wasn't Malutka 2, which was later Soviet modification with a precursor, but Malutka-P with semi-automatic guidance on 9P133 SP launcher)

034 BRDM-2 Konkurs - used from 1985 only (now 1/84).

077 HMMWV Trynka AT - not existing (Trynka was MG-armed prototype), but additonally redundant because of 861 HMMWV Tumak-5

73 Fagot ATGM - this time it was available earlier, in 1977 (now 1/79)

481 Para Fagot ATGM - actually, paratroops didn't get Fagots initially (maybe only from around 1990 - unit 490), so this is redundant.
