Ukraine OOB New and Old Toys

[DRG]

and to make thingS so much more fun for what is really a VERY MINOR unit

This is an RCR with the SEPAR modification ( SystèmE de Protection EEI pour AMX 10RCR or IED Protection System for AMX-10RCR ) that replaces the side skirts from the front to the middle of the vehicle by heavy armor plates. This modification is designed for Afghanistan and offers a better protection against EEI ( Improvised Explosive Device). This kit represents the practical limit the suspension can carry. The tank weights now in total 22 t.





and allegedly so is this....... but WITHOUT THE SEPAR EEI



and this



but this is touted to be an RC



as is this



and this

claims......"AMX-10 RC are "not what Kiev hoped for"


AND WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT UPGRADES MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN APPLIED

The difference in game terms and to a certain extent in RL is the RC is amphibious and could, if need be added to BTR formations and that added fire support could go where he BTR's could go but the RCR WITH THE SEPAR KIT is not so cannot

The vehicle is WAY more useful working with BTR formations for the added fire support it can give

so........... IF WE SEE A PHOTO OF ONE IN UKRAINE and it does not have the SEPAR then it's amphibious ....... (maybe......)

The renovated AMX 10 RC tank SEPAR (EEI Protection System) is a powerfully armed armored reconnaissance vehicle, with very good mobility on the road and in any way, amphibious (except with overprotection), protected against light weapons from infantry.
