Fallout Re: SP and SPAA Developments

I'm only posting this to avoid confusion between the two types of CAESAR SPA. I'm not sure of the status of the procurement of the CAESAR 8X8 in regard to how many if any they physically have.

But Denmark has decided to donate all 19 units to the Ukraine.

They are looking to possibly replace them with 19 Israeli ATMOS units due NEXTAR's current production issues to replace French donated units and to meet other existing orders from other countries.

Advantages in the "quick" better armor protection as can be seen in the pics from the refs., the range of the VLAP round is increased to 55km (I believe the 6x6 is slightly less.), carries more rounds @ 36 and is capable of direct fire on targets out to 2000m (I honestly not sure if the 6x6 can do this or not.)

Demark is the only user at this time and again we don't how they have and when they'll release them if they do have them.
