Fallout Re: APC Development and related topics.

On PVB 302 Ukraine I believe START/OCT 2024 might be a better date.

The DREGEN ref. I believe was confusing the "50" number with how many CV90 UNITS they have vice having received 50 PBV 302 UNITS.

The issue boils down to the timeline involved.

Sorry for the confusion now it's off to bed as the "REDMAN" NEVER SLEEPS.

Regards,
Pat

The 🇺🇦#Ukrainian armed forces in the #Kursk Oblast have lost an interesting vehicle - it is an 🇺🇸#US-supplied M113A3 with a new Ukrainian-made manned turret with 12.7mm M2 Browning.

Many M113s delivered to Ukraine have either no protection for the gunner at all, or the gunner is too exposed to enemy fire in the original turret. This new turret protects the gunner from all directions, including from above.

Lithuania purchases a battalion of Leopard 2A8 tanks and 2 battalions of CV90MkIV IFV vehicles.

The decisions were made today by the Lithuanian State Defense Council VGT /Valstybės Gynimo Taryboje/.
