Ukraine OOB New and Old Toys

[FASTBOAT TOUGH]

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.

Yeah Pat I know that's why I put the SEPAR info in my post and the link to globaldefensecorp

this whole RC/RCR thing is GETTING OLD

What I have in the game now is what's going out in the next release. It WILL be called "RCR" and it WILL BE amphibious unless we see SEPAR kits on them

Don did you think about adding to Ukraininian or Green OOB famous "Tractor Corps" I know that they were famous during early stage of war especially during Russian retrat from Kiev but meaby are worth to be consider just for fun their tractors don't need any arms just towing power and best agricultural tractor from that area which was in USSR times manufactured and have even new version is Kharkiv Tractor Plant KhTZ Kirovetz

The first M1117 Guardian Armored Security Vehicles finally arrive in Ukraine, a year ahead of schedule!

The 425th Assault Battalion Skala posted a video on their social media of them using the vehicle in a training exercise.

The US Senate Defense Appropriations Sub-Committee had been pushing the DoD to figure out how to expedite the pending refurbishment work to get these vehicles ready. It's possible that Greece agreed to surrender some of their positions in the queue to facilitate this.
