Ukraine OOB New and Old Toys

[Pibwl]

818 2S22 Bohdana - according to an article by Ukrainian author, it made a front debut in 4/22 (now 6/22).
The vehicle has no AAMG.
Given a limited number of vehicles (until 7/23 a single prototype), maybe it should have radio x3?

589 2S4 Tulpan - according to the article on 2S4 by the same author (published in Polish nTW 7/24), Ukraine did not receive any Tulpans after 1991 (most were withdrawn eastwards after CFE treaty, and the only Soviet unit in Europe remained in Slaviansk-on-Kuban in Russia) - and it hasn't any now as well.

Russian modified T-72 tank without a turret and with an installed RBU-6000 anti-submarine rocket launcher destroyed somewhere at the frontline.

Russian experiments, RBU-6000 anti-submarine rocket launchers installed on the chassis of T-80. Previously some of these were seen on MT-LBs.

They sure like their RBU-6000s; but as you've previously said many times; the RU OBAT is getting pretty thin on room to put stuff in.

Perhaps compromise by putting the icons in and adding a note in the Design Notes?

"RBU-6000 launchers on X,Y,Z; use icons X,Y,Z, with the following settings in scenario editor to represent these unique weapons {snip data}"

That's why we have added Russian and USA extention OOB's

............ BUT the А-22 Ogon attachment is easier and does the same job as FrankenWaffe----- and at this stage..... easier wins AND you can use Frag or incindary rockets with this one

The installation can use Soviet OF-45 fragmentation and ZZh-45 incendiary rockets with a range of 4.5 km. It is also possible to use new Russian OFD-45 fragmentation unguided rockets with a launch range of 9.5 km.

The German defence giant Rheinmetall just revealed new footage of its Skyranger 35, a highly capable 35mm AAA turret mounted on a Leopard 1 chassis.

Ukraine is expected to receive a number of these units, with significant interoperability with the country's Leopard 1A5 fleet.

Surprised it took this long.

Ukraine unleashes “hide & strike” strategy after losing 1,000 tanks to Russian drones:
Ukraine’s reform involves:
Cut four large tank teams (some had up to 100 tanks each)
Spread tanks to form small, fierce 30-tank teams with foot troops
Switched tanks from main strike force to skilled support tools
Forged a lean, mean tank corps built to beat Russia’s drone threats

Belgium Tests Leopard 1 with Unmanned Turret in Ukraine: Potential Modernization of Over a Hundred Tanks

The Leopard 1A5BE fitted with the unmanned Cockerill 3105 turret presents a promising upgrade for extending the combat relevance of these tanks, and Belgium plans to test this configuration in Ukraine.

The upgraded variant now headed for Ukraine features the unmanned Cockerill 3105 turret, armed with a 105mm Cockerill HP gun. Although no official roadmap has been published, successful field testing and positive feedback from Ukrainian forces could pave the way for a large-scale modernization of the Leopard 1 fleet in Ukraine, which includes more than a hundred vehicles.
