PART III
This follows the "tact" as I discussed last week or whenever I posted
PART I. I just pulled this off the "wire" so again Croatia will have to wait, as this article impacts both Brazil and will "dove tail" to Uruguay. I know not many players probably play these OOB's but, that doesn't mean we (I) should ignore them, after all my motto is "
One World One OOB". Let's get to it...
BRAZIL/CHANGE/M-41C CAXIAS/UNIT 007/END DATE 12/1996 VICE 12/2025//. There is some evidence to support this date when the first LEOPARD tanks went into service for the Brazilian Army. These tanks were used for training purposes both before (Earlier mods.) and up to, for the sake of argument, concerning the month,
12/2009 as deemed obsolete. So that last date gives you an out however I'm feeling 80% sure of the date as submitted. I know it's not the best, but the current situation isn't correct.
Now we "
dove tail"...
URAGUAY/ADD/M-41C CAXIAS/USE BRAZILIAN UNIT 007/START DATE 12/2019/LEAVE NAME UNCHANGED FOR NOW/REDESINATION UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME/WHEN ANNOUCED (IF) IT'LL BE EASIER TO FIND AND FIX//. I've not seen anything on name change or any upgrades to at least the current
M-41UR BULLDOG that has slightly better armor numbers. These tanks will by Brazil be
fully maintained before delivery.
These tanks will replace the last of the
M-24 CHAFFEE tanks in service with the Uruguayan Army. So...
URAGUAY/CHANGE/M-24UR CHAFFEE/UNIT 005/END DATE 06/2019 VICE 12/2015//. I feel that's a good overall date, it
generally takes a little longer to "pull something out than put it in" and this will allow more then enough time to retrain the
M-24 crews to man the "new"
M-41C Brazilian received tanks.
I think that about covers it and I need to get ready for work. Again, a "composite" ref.
