Ukraine OOB New and Old Toys

[DRG]

Then there is this knee slapper in that article

Moscow sees its hostile attitude towards the West confirmed by the reports on the leaked documents. "We have not the slightest doubt that the United States and NATO are directly or indirectly involved in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told CNN.

well DUH !

Maybe at the start.... maybe not, for sure a lot of people saw it coming and made contingencies but that is SOP for governments and military but to say that now there are NATO origin weapons and tanks in Ukraine is Ludacris

EDIT : READ THE WRONG PICTURE CAPTION That's because I'm still home and that's the story I'm sticking to!?!

I identified your "what is this" AMX-10 RCR. It's a late model conversion known as the AMX-10 RCR SEPAR the following UNDER the Desert Storm section shows it as used in Operations in Mali in 2014.

See it in the last picture on the right Picture Gallery ABOVE the words Picture Gallery.

It's an add on armor kit.

(If bored cycle through the pictures in the Variant Section some where used some not.)

(Looks like the kit can be used with either version.)

I thought it might have been an ERA package at first glance which is why I dug into a little deeper. But it's possible France could've sent some of these packages as well.

Another something to look out for, I guess.

Oh, those articles are starting to "pop up" again about Putin not looking well or similar. I guess the FSB/GRU have nothing better to do.
