Fallout Re: SP, MLRS and SPAA Developments

Sounds like this is now a "Dead Project" but, for me I just found the website I've been missing for the last couple of years. Don knows for many years I had include this sites information for just about every submission I made.

The research was very good, and the equipment data was as well.

Then the war came along in 2024, and it seemly died with it.

You wanted country listing it had it in alphabetical order based on everything that's in our world.

I got it to open up its working on my PC. I simply changed my "search plan" to get it and it worked, so I hope it will work in here, which I'll test when I finish this post.

Where I found it from the UK

(29 Jan 2025 entry bottom. I believe I accidently came across this site a few years back related to their sites main objective.)

(This was a newer area a couple of years at most before going dark.)



These contributors pretty much were volunteers from many countries especially from inside Russia. Very rarely did I have issues corroborating they're data against my other references I regularly use to this day.

It at the least was my starting point most of the time once I felt comfortable with their data and fact checking. Many times, it was the "middle word" and also the "final word" but it always provided the foundation to build upon and pointed me in the right direction to further look into a piece of equipment.

I HOPE THIS WORKS If for no one else than for me at least.

I have detected that this equipment and the others on this site were manually archived be they shut down to save it somewhere safe.

Rumors at the time suggested the Ukrainian Govt. shut them down for Security reasons. Other say like KBMW they were targeted as well due to their Russian sources.

I would like to think it was a little of the first and more that they joined the fight to save their country. They were young trying to make a living and I hope when this is done that they'll be back "live" again.

EDIT: TESTED ALL SAT/HOW DO I FEEL ABOUT THIS? WELL.../MERRY F-ing Christmas! /HOW DOES CINCLANTHOME FEEL ABOUT THIS AS I JUST RECIEVED A VISITATION AT OPPS 0350-WELL SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS RIDICULES!!

Earlier day later I need to get my "6" (Maybe in more ways than one now after the visit.)!!

Regards,
Pat
