Ukraine OOB New and Old Toys

[MarkSheppard]

So there are rumors that North Korean "volunteer" units have been sighted in the region (on top of specialists who were assisting Russia in using the ballistic missiles they gave them).

Supposedly, the Russian 11th Separate Air Assault Brigade is having a "special Buryat battalion" attached to it (aka North Koreans).

To Marks post...
The Washinton Post (WP) is reporting that North Korean Officers are in Russia occupied Ukraine.
" A Ukrainian military intelligence official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive security matter, said “several thousand” North Korean infantry soldiers are undergoing training in Russia now and could be deployed to the front line in Ukraine by the end of this year."

" The official said North Korean officers are already on the ground in Russia-occupied Ukraine to observe Russian forces and study the battlefield, but Kyiv hasn’t seen any North Korean units fighting yet."

Looks like the "WP" scooped the rest. There are several more similar to this as reported within the time period from 2 to 24 hours ago.

Though I haven't watched my TV News source yet, I've not seen any reports from any others yet either.

I hope someone recognizes the broad use of refs. above and you can do want you want based on them which leads directly to the next below.

I guess the Allie function is certainly in play now OR later.

EDIT: Saw nothing about North Korean troops in Ukraine on the National News networks concerning Ukraine as of 10/16/2024 0239.

Brads and Abrams do short range urban fighting. Of note is the miscolored armor package on the Brad.

The M-84 has been in the OOB on hold for a couple of years... it would be nice to use it

I have the 2a8 in the German OOB but it's hard to keep track of who wants it and will pay for it and when
