Re: SP and SPAA Developments
Looks like the first M270 MLRS arrived in in the Ukraine on the July 15th these should be the UK versions which are slightly more advanced than ours as they've been upgraded. I suggest the UK models are there as they were the first to get approval from the U.S. to send them there. Also, as I've posted a couple of weeks back, we found out taha the training has been going on a lot earlier then was reported.
I'm sure was to maintain a level of operational security and deception.

However, the USA this past week received the first upgraded M270A2 which sees many improvements.

Looks like GEPHARD won't arrive until possibly the end of this month but likely in August. Training has apparently been going well the delay came from the German Gov't.
Spain is still trying to get their former LEOPARD 2A4 tanks to the Ukraine. See the above for who's delaying that as well.
Unless we're all going to get a big surprise, I'm starting to think the German LEOPARD 1A5 tank deal might not happen for the Ukraine.

Pat
