The Daily Iraq errors report

Unit 215 : M728 CEV
The iraqis have aquired T-72 based BREM engineering vehicles so far. M728 availability date should be pushed further forward as for the M60, or be renationalized and eliminated from purchase list. While some might have been included in a large purchase of surplus M60 that isn’t materializing and the purchase of such a niche vehicle was always a low probability.

Unit 314 and unit 316: OT-64 SKOT
Current initial availability dates are 1965 and 1974. According to SIPRI First units were delivered to Iraq in 1981. As it is now they are available before they are available in the czech OOB, which is rather unlikely.

Unit 348 and unit 573: JSU-122
Current final availability date date are 12/1990 and 12/1991. That is too late for such vehicles. I suggest 12/1984 as final date at the latest. Unit 352 Steyr SK-105 can fill the gap in the formations.

Unit 359: Palmaria
A total of two-three units were delivered (source Gulflink). This would indicate that they were meant for testing and evaluation rather than operational use. I would suggest X3 radio code.

Unit 571: SU-100M
Final availability date is 12/1991. That is too late. I suggest 12/1980 like most of the others SU vehicles or 12/1984.

Unit 61 : BTR-50PK
Unit 62 : OT-62
Final availability date should be 4/103 instead of current 12/104. Unit 63 Mt-Lb can fill the gap in the formations being of the same class and available since 1/1975 to 12/2020

Unit 66: BMP-1
It is available since 1/1980 in the game. I suggest 1/1975 as initial availability date.
According to SIPRI first units were delivered in 1974-1975. Based on soviet export pattern of such vehicle, 1974-1975 would indeed seem right.

Also a new BMP-1 unit should be made available in the 2005-2020 timeframe, to represent the BMP-1s in service in the new iraqi army. Such BMP should not have the ATGM though.

and many others

Unit 231: 45mm AT-Gun
If any were supplied, unlikely but not impossible, they would be used as light infantry guns firing HE mostly, as it usually happened to small antitank guns once they outlived their usefulness in their primary role. I suggest an increase in HE rounds and a decrease in AP/APCR

Help me out here please, I'm a bit swamped ATM

The Brem you are referring to would that be the "IMR-2MA" in the Ukranian OOB or the "IMR" in the Russian or both or neither and if it's one or the other or both what date was it put in service?
