Re: Updates in light of Ukraine war
Thinking that if they were falling short of expectations we would have heard about it by now

Re: Updates in light of Ukraine war
If you can do the search in the MBT Thread, you and I covered this ground when discussing getting these on the Ukrainian tanks about 3 years ago. What they had and what was coming most from Ukrainian Industry sources with "outside" ones as well.
Just throwing it out there to save you some work (maybe), we did several posts on the matter. You might further look at as a reminder, there's a reason the JAVALINs the Ukrainians are using are so effective. Remember also they were to be "under lock and key" with U.S. approved storage and security measures before even one got into country. A couple of the refs included touched on this and the fact they couldn't use them without our authorization. Training missiles were the exception to facilitate training and qualification all addressed in those refs. Infantry Served Weapons and Organization Page 5/Posts 43 & 44. It was set up for submission also for the USA. Regards, Pat :capt: |

Points out again how fluid and flexible "information" is The Forbes article was published Jan 11 and claimed " the Ukrainian army has only a handful of Javelin launchers" The ABC report that mentioned Spike NLOS was made March 22 but I question it and now we have info thats there are Milans in Ukraine as well This article claims.....

We do already have the Stugna in the OOB but it's set up as a vehicle mounted system but there may be more than one "Stugna" and that is what I am investigating now but it would appear that w237 in the OOB now as "Skif 2M-K ATGM" is the larger 152mm missile and w236 is the 130mm verison https://root-nation.com/en/articles-...ugna-p-review/ |

Re: Updates in light of Ukraine war
Neither the Javelins nor the Stingers from the US are being shipped as the weapons the US military uses. They have had the most recent classified guidance bits removed and are export versions. This means any updating of the UA kit would have to have different versions developed for use in one game. That may be a bit of a chore. I don't know about the NLAWS. I haven't seen any reports from the UK on what they are sending.

It may make a slight difference in RL. It won't in the game

Re: Updates in light of Ukraine war
A lot of new things in the Ukrainian OOB for next release.
Recent additions were 40mm Mk 19's. A photo exists of boxes with 40-mm Mk 19 ammo unloaded from an American aircraft at Boryspil Airport on October 10, 2021 and the Supply Classification code for "Machine Gun, 40mm, MK19 Mod III" was seen being unloaded Jan 28. 2022 https://mil.in.ua/uk/news/ssha-pered...atomety-mk-19/ It was recently announced that Australia is sending Bushmaster PMV's that may possibly be in Ukraine in May -June 2022 |

Those troops had white bands. Normally Ukraine uses yellow The text for that video mentions" Russia-backed forces in Mariupol" but earlier footage shows troops in yellow armbands. The ones with the RR are wearing white One quote found Quote:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YJo2vlGAOQ That video has this comment.........."hite armband were to indentified this russian brigade as the 17th motorized rifle brigade that were deployed in donbas as early as 2014." Still digging but it looks like the RR team is not Ukrainian FURTHER https://fresno24.com/what-do-the-col...is-the-answer/ Quote:
