Question about Ukraine OOB...

Looks like Blaster shots from Star Wars. They must be using some type of new, high velocity, rapid firing munitions.

Better view of one Ukrainian Bradley showing the armor configuration.

Footage of Ukrainian Abrams somewhere...showing the ARAT-1 add on armor configuration chosen.

Another crazy one off to make Don and Andy's head hurt.

Ukrainian BMP hull with a Russian BMD-2 turret. I guess pieced together from salvage -- take 4 wrecked vehicles to get one working vehicle.

Interestingly they are still in the desert tan paint....maybe a little more "used" looking now

I think AFU has two bradley colors now:

1.) Initial Bradleys delivered in teh initial tranche; these were repainted in AFU Green.

2.) Replacement bradleys delivered to replace losses -- about 15 were delivered -- the famous T-90 killer is one of these and seems to be desert tan base color -- no time to repaint, replace losses RFN.

It seems like AFU mix-match external armor as needed ; the Bradley T-90 killer is mostly desert tan, but has green ERA blocks; while I've seen AFU green bradleys with desert ERA blocks.

So basically... "Anything goes"
