Any plans on when we are going to see the Swiss Hornet Premium in store?
Yeah true.
but 11kg of HE isn’t gonna kill an mbt it’d most likely get eaten by the breach or turret cheeks 99% of the time
so as SAP, at least HE will have change blow up the roof of turret and hull

I took a closer look in-game, the texture of that P-400 skin is way too smooth and glossy compared to default skins. Must be user-made content turned into a GE skin…
I just hope that there’s more non-premium skins from these Moments of Valor events so we get some more options.
It seems it is not even practical ROF after rammer got fixed.
Also, while only talking about AP, SAP is also too low pen as it should get 0.87 penetrationK as Soyuz’s one and have similar penetration.

You know what, other than another “top tier” premium it’s not really a bad shout for it to be a premium considering its the tech demonstrator.
With premium F/A-18’s and F-16’s already in the game a premium MiG-29 was inevitable, and this one is a actually decent option for it. Will be a good premium for Italy too, only other options are the the AMX and F-104 which aren’t the best anyway.

Monthly decals (2025-06)
New decals:
- “Baldy’s Bus”
- "“Baldy’s Bus” Inscription, 18th Armoured Regiment, New Zealand Expeditionary Force. Typical with Kiwi military culture, it was often common for more humorous motifs and markings to be found on their vehicles, with this inscription being a great example. The scrawling was positioned on the front left reinforcement block on the hull side of a Sherman IB of B Squadron, stationed in Trieste during 1945. There’s little mystery behind the marking, with the commander of the Sherman (Number 15), exhibiting a considerable lack of hair. "

- “Le Malin Badge”
- “One of several badges of the Destroyer La Malin, French Navy. The French Navy was relatively light on markings and emblems, with personal motifs and graffiti being frowned upon. Specific ships often had badges and insignia however, with La Malin having several iterations of the same design. This early variant of the ship’s badge takes the form of an “Old French” shield with a more square shape and a rounded, pointed bottom in “paly” style (small vertical stripes). The primary subject matter of course is the red monkey atop the anchor — likely a reference to the French saying, “Malin comme un singe” or, “Clever like a monkey””
Spoiler
- “4.(H)/23 Emblem”
- “The emblem of 4. Staffel (Heer) / Aufklärungsgruppe 23 (4th tactical reconnaissance flight of the 23rd Reconnaissance Squadron), Luftwaffe. The squadron was formed in May of 1939, and hopped between various theatres and campaigns, attaching to many army groups to perform reconnaissance. Initially forming with He 45 and He 46 recon aircraft, they would move on to the Hs 126 in December, before transferring to the Bf 109 G on July 31st 1943. The emblem depicts a rabbit on an artillery shell, likely a reference to the joint effort between the army and the recon group, with the rabbit symbolically guiding the shell. The emblem was most commonly positioned on both sides of the nose on the aircraft in operation with the squadron.”
Spoiler
- “O LA VA O LA SPACCA” Inscription"
- "“O la va o la spacca” inscription, Polizia dell’Africa Italiana (Italian African Police.) Directly translated, the inscription reads “Either it goes or it breaks”, but contextually a more idiomatic translation would be “All or Nothing”, “Sink or Swim”, or “Now or Never.” The PAI were a light military force rarely engaging in heavy conflict, though they supported the core Italian military against the Commonwealth in Ethiopia and Libya. They operated the AB41 armored car which routinely took part in desert patrols, making the inscription quite a fitting reflection of their often fast and risky operations. The marking was positioned on several AB41 units, and could be seen above the drivers hatch on the front plate. "

- “Personal Marking of Yuri Shitov, 9IAP-ChF”
- “The personal Marking of Lt. Yuri Pavlovich Shitov, 9 IAP-ChF (9th Fighter Aviation Regiment of the Black Sea Fleet), Soviet Air Force. Yuri had a particularly turbulent time in the Air Force, being denied the title of Hero of the Soviet Union for hooliganism. Despite this, Yuri proved himself to be a very capable pilot, scoring 15 aerial victories with 2 of them being shared. He piloted the I-153 and would finish the war in the Yak-9, with which he scored the majority of his victories. During 1943 however he would fly the LaGG-3, in this time his personal “Lionheart” marking could be found on the right side of the fuselage, behind and below the cockpit.”

Returning decals:
- “Kilroy Was Here”
- ““Kilroy was here” marking, US Army. While this variant of Kilroy was made famous by American soldiers, the actual origins of the marking (or rather the catalyst for its popularisation) are relatively unknown. There are too many theories to speculate on for both the inscription and the design, but a likely origin comes from a school drawing exercise, with the face resembling an example of a BPF circuit among other things. The design ultimately is quite satisfying and simple to draw, which gives it an interesting parallel to the “Universal S”, another popular doodle with an uncertain origin. It’s likely that at some point schools used a similar design as a teaching tool, which was retained by the generation who learned it, causing it to appear in various different places at around the same time with no distinctive origin. This specific variant was used extensively by American soldiers as a marking to show where they had once been, and has become a popular cultural marking ever since.”

- “South Skåne Regiment Emblem”
- “Emblem of the P7 South Scanian Regiment Swedish Army” → “An emblem of the South Skåne Regiment (P 7), Swedish Army. The emblem of the regiment is directly inspired by the flag of Scania (Skåne), which features a red griffin with a blue crown. The design is said to date back to the 1600s, though specific details are scarce. This particular variant is taken from the regiment’s flag and was designed in 1998 by Kristina Holmgård-Åkerberg, who created many flags for other Swedish military groups. It became the regimental color flag officially on July 1st, 2000, using the emblem on a yellow background. While the full coat of arms of the regiment seldom appears on armored vehicles, this specific variant does — it could be seen painted small on the front and rear plates of their CV9040B vehicles during exercises, usually accompanied by a larger low-visibility griffin head as well.”

- “1st OPFOR Brigade Emblem”
- “Emblem of the 195th brigade of the 81st Group of the Chinese PLA” → “The emblem of the 1st OPFOR Brigade “Plain Wolves”, PLA, China. The group was formed on November 26th 2011, in order to enhance the training of the army. The nickname of the group comes from its location, at the Zhurihe Training Base in Inner Mongolia. The area is characterised by its wide open plains and is also the home of the Mongolian Wolf — the likely inspiration for the marking (despite the lack of visual similarity). The blue coloration comes from PLA training, with the “Blue Force” (蓝军) representing a simulated enemy, and the “Red Force” (红军) representing own forces. The marking was widely applied, and could be seen on the front mud guards and turret side of the ZTZ96A tanks of the unit, and would also be placed on the hull side of various auxiliary vehicles, among other types.”

- “302nd Tactical Fighter Squadron Emblem”
- ““White-Tailed Eagle” emblem, 302nd TFS, 3rd Air Wing, JASDF” → “The tail marking of the 302nd Tactical Fighter Squadron, JASDF. The squadron was formed on October 1st 1974 in Chitose, Hokkaido, and would fly the F-4EJ and F-4EJ Kai Phantom II until 2019, when the squadron would reform with the F-35. The marking depicts a stylized White-Tailed Eagle, a species that covers a wide range of Hokkaido. It would initially appear in greyscale, before transitioning to the colored version in 1975. Like several of the more abstract Japanese squadron markings, the design relates to the squadron number — the blocks of the blue wings form a 3, the tail a 0, and the feet a 2. As the creation of the eagle predated the ruling that squadron markings had to remain smaller than the hinomaru recognition roundel, it could be seen large under the diagonal formation light strip on the tail of the Phantoms in operation, usually with the wings nearly touching the tip of the tail.”
Spoiler
- “107 Squadron Emblem (1973)”
- “Emblem of 107th Squadron, IAF” → “The emblem of 107 Squadron (1973), IAF. This squadron was formed on January 25th, 1953, flying the Spitfire Mk IX and later the P-51 Mustang, and was initially disbanded on September 30th, 1956. It would go on to reopen and disband several times afterward — first as a Meteor squadron and later an Ouragan squadron. In 1971 however, the squadron reformed again with the F-4E Phantom II “Kurnass”. This variant of the squadron emblem came into use shortly after, around 1973. It was inspired by the bold personality of the squadron commander at the time, Iftach Spector, which led to all Phantoms of the squadron receiving a bright orange rudder, resulting in their nickname, the “Orange Tail Knights”. This winged tiger marking — drawing inspiration from the big cat emblems of earlier iterations of the squadron — could be found in the middle of the rudder on their Kurnass fighters.”
Spoiler
- “Thunderbolt”
- ““Thunderbolt VII” Marking, 37th Tank Battalion, 4th Armored Division, U.S. Army. Perhaps one of the most famous Sherman tanks of all time, Thunderbolt VII was commanded by the even more famous Creighton Abrams, recipient of the Distinguished Service Cross and widely regarded as one of the finest tank commanders of all time. He was seen as something of a rival by General Patton himself, who once said “I’m supposed to be the best tank commander in the Army, but I have one peer — Abe Abrams.” As the name implies, Abrams commanded several Shermans throughout World War Two, all named “Thunderbolt”, along with the accompanying number. The marking was positioned on both sides of the upper hull on Abrams’ M4A3E8 Sherman.”

So Italy got a Mig-29 premium before Russia has lol, but it seems to be a solid premium though
The must have for truckers came back lol.
No it isn’t, it is just another copy paste
Instead of getting the stuff that makes it unique
Is it just me, or is the Mig29 Sniper radar the same as the Eurofighter? Looks like a straight up copy paste

I am not promoting cheats but the 195th brigade cheats a lot IRL lol
In annual exercises, they have USAF level of air dominance and electronic warfare, peak cold war soviet corp-level artillery and armor, and the ability to employ nuclear weapons at will, so the REDFOR always gets their ass kicked
And the former commander of the unit is what the PLA officer profile pic in war thunder was based on, even the same name
