Default Polish OOB

Hello
I would like to denote some bugs in Polish OOB (at least in my opinion). I don't have an access to online references to proove my opinions, but maybe someone else will find such, or I will do it later....
Anyway:
1) PT-91 - all verisions from basic PT-91 to future PT-91C (Leo2 gun and FC) have TI, so vision should be at least 40. It is in some cases in OOB, but in some (like 009,010) is not.
2) ZSU-23-4 is still in line and I suppose they will remain active for some time. I'm not sure that all will be modernised into Biala (ZSU-23-4MP) version. Anyone has any clue?
3) SPG9 is still in use. I have no information about time of their planned disactivation.
4) I'm not sure if RPG-76 is so commonly used in modern times by infantry. It is personal AT wearpon, and I suppose RPG-7V is better candidate for AT slot of Polish infantry in SPMBT.
5) MIG-23 are not in line since 90s. I don't remember year but I guess it was in second part. Anybody got any info about it? I guess most of attack sorties are carried out by SU-22M-4 and in future by F-16D BLOCK 52.
6) BM-21 Grad is still commonly used and modernized (longer range ammo and different types of warheads).
7) I don't know anything about PMKM and PMK rifles. Maybe it should be AKM and AKMS. I am not an expert in rifles, so I moght be wrong.
8) 98mm mortars are missing.
9) SA-3 (S-125) are being very intensivly modernized. Missile is the same, but rest (radars, FC, cameras) are replaced with digitalized version.
10) There are plans for acuiring Patriot SAM.

I am aware that this is just my ideas without much details, but maybe someone else got some details about it. I am not an expert so I might be wrong. I hope that we will be able to provide sufficent info to patch Polish OBB in next version.

Regards
