New Soviet premium? /hj
Well they did capture a lot of heavy machine workshops thanks to the USA. Mountain takes there tolls on AFVs and need fixing so you get a lot of workshops with equipment ideal to become mini factories. Add in local mini industry and most things can be fixed or modified.
They did keep old Soviet equipment running like BMPs into the 2000s it’s not that complicated industry wise.

yes more sa aircraft and helicopters please
The South African Atlas Cheetah C should be placed in the british tech tree with a Battle Rating (BR) 13.0; it was also exported to Ecuador, making these two nations the only operators of this fighter in the world. It features the EL-M/2032 radar and utilizes the MIL-STD-1553B digital data bus, enabling it to integrate and carry air-to-air missiles such as the R-Darter, Python-3, and Python-4.
The Cheetah C is a comprehensive modernization of the Mirage III airframe, heavily based on the Israeli Kfir fighter. It features advanced avionics, fixed canards for improved maneuverability, and compatibility with multimode radars such as the Elta EL/M-2032. South Africa already has a strong presence in the UK Armed Forces tech tree; its arrival would help fill the gap between third- and fourth-generation jets within that British aviation line. Unlike the Kfir C10, which uses the General Electric J-79 engine, the Cheetah retained the French Atar 9K50 engine—the same one used by the Mirage F1.
I’m really looking forward to seeing this iconic plane in the game; it would fit perfectly into the British tech tree.

Can’t it also carry the ir A-Darter too like the sa gripen should be able too. You made me laugh when you say sa has a stony present in the british tree as the only south african aircraft in game is the gripen unless your counting the helicopter too
Z.501, would be a nice start for adding more Italian seaplanes.

F-4D, although armament wise it would just be a F-4C with 7Es it would also be unique due to the ability to carry the first LGB ever produced, the BOLT-117, we already have the targeting pod in game on the buccaneer SB.2 and Kurnass 2000 as this would give the US a LGB capable F-4 without modernizing the F-4E we have in game, as that would end up being its own mess due to it being a kitbash of different block numbers
F-4D with BOLT-117s (the 750lbs demo bomb we have in game already on phantoms with a guidance kit)
F-4D with the Pave Spike pod
F-4D with Paveway 1 GBU-10 laser guided bombs, only 1 of these per rack as seen in image

Cheetah PRTL
The Cheetah PRTL is the Dutch version of the German Gepard, developed alongside it.
While similar to the Gepard, the PRTL had several differences: an X-band search radar with a bar-type antenna instead of the Gepard’s S-band dish, a different X-band tracking radar, mudguards alongside the tracks from the standard Leopard 1 (which Germany did not use on the Gepard), different smoke grenade launchers, and various other internal system differences.
There was also a later upgrade, the (Gevechtswaarde instandhouding) GWI, which added several improvements, including stuff like a three-tone camouflage and air conditioning. However, the main difference for War Thunder would be its ability to fire FAPDS ammunition. There was also a single model modified with stingers like the german gepard 1A2.

Lastly, if Gaijin ever decides to add the PRTL, this could also open the door for the OF-40 with a PRTL turret for Italy. Despite many people assuming this is a Gepard turret, it is actually a PRTL turret, identifiable by the bar-shaped search radar, Dutch smoke discharger layout, and slightly different tracking radar.

The Leopard chassis Cheetah can go to the Benelux subtree while the OF-40 chassis Cheetah to the Italian TT, especially considering that Gaijin refuses to give the SIDAM’s either full belt APDS belts and/or add SAPHE and/or AP belts.

BMP-2M obr. 2010
Extra slat armor in hull & turret sides, and instead of quad Kornets, this had 1 Kornet and 1 Konkurs launchers

Obr. isnt really correct way to distinguish these as BMP-2M Berezhok predates this one. More correct way would be saying the upgrade package name or Object designation, although we dont know either for this.
Still calling this one Obr. is incredibly wrong since it doesnt represent BMP-2M stage but completely different variant.
My beloved is still long overdue.
ZTQ-15 for those who dont know
