OOB 67 - Sudan

[FASTBOAT TOUGH]

Saw a 503 Error (Whatever that is-don't care either.) on the Amnesty ref of the last post. So here is a 2nd link provided by the BBC ref of the last as well. Study conducted by the Canadian Govt./UN Sudan mission groups. Again no proof of newer Chinese tanks, though China has been a major supplier of ammunition and light weapons. The Ukrainian T-72 tanks are confirmed, with the one pictured looking like the T-72M1 if I was to make the call. This would back the Amnesty Report as well. The PDF report is very detailed to the groups involved, manning, weapons, AOO and logistics etc. These are from April 2012. Amnesty report and BBC article of previous post were from June 2012.

Just verified links are good.
Amnesty link of previous good now-503 must be a temporary thing-I LEARNED SOMETHING.

Couldn't get it in there in time and almost forgot, But all the refs thus far said South Sudan got the improved Ukrainian
T-72M1, that would make them under Ukrainian designation then the T-72MP here are the improvements "in a nut shell" as follows...
"T-72MP
Ukrainian upgrade with a 1,000-hp engine, added armor, Shtora-1, and SAGEM FCS and thermal sights."

Click on Mobility, Protection and Firepower under "T-72 modernization..." for more in-depth system info above the comparison table. I would think these are readily available in the Ukraine OOB. This is one of the tanks the OPLOT was meant to replace.

Sorry about that a long night and early start today. Must've felt my son-in-laws pain of "hell night" before his CPO pinning ceremony this morning.
That's right Suhiir another "bubblehead" in the family!?!

Have a great weekend everyone!
