or should not be added at all
Can’t remember if this was shared (a good refresher nonetheless) but this is short breakdown of the RWS used on a BMP-1 seen below.
The Weapon Station is highly modular, featuring the capability to mount several different weapon systems for different mission sets. It utilizes the renown ZTM-1 30mm automatic cannon, the Barrier-212 ATGM system capable of firing 2x RK-2 missiles, the KBA-117 30mm automatic grenade launcher, 6x 81mm smoke grenades for self-protection, and a KT-7.62mm coaxial machine gun. The system features an updated fire control and stabilizer to increase capabilities on the move as well as the turret is unmanned. Not only that but it utilizes perforated armor to reduce weight but still maintain a level of light armor to protect against small arms fire and light autocannon fire.

What’s the precise name of this modification/IFV?
I haven’t seen a name for either vehicle but I’m sure it will be released some point soon.
Hey there guys
Just came here to tell some useful information
Mbombe 6x6 with BM-7 Spear was made before war, and due to it’s start couldn’t be moved back to SAR
It can stay in Ukraine up to 2025 , then something will be figured out
BMP-1 with new RCWS not appeared anywhere else yet, but on that proving/training ground
As i learned not too long ago, T-80UD with Drozd APS, that was sold to USA (they look like early versions of BM Oplot) were POSSIBLY a downgraded Obj.478DU9 in terms of armour package, FCS and situational awareness(no thermals and no LWR)
Direct quote of that message :
“All 478du9s were finalized before being sold to the Americans. They removed thermal imaging cameras, removed the filler armor packages and replaced them with the previous generation, the level of T-80UD of the USSR times.DZ NOZH dismantled, put in place of its first prototypes - which not even close to serial versions. Drozd, although modified in Lviv, but that under the requirements of the customer.Electronic stuffing was also replaced by NOT having in itself secrets for the U.S. Yes, the engine was left native 6TD-2 at 1200 horsepower.”

I think Ukraine should get a Object 292 875,000 or 600K (RP) required
Why? There’s more of other tanks with 152-mm main gun that are originated from Kharkiv
it was just a thought
Btw this would be there last tank to research a T-84
Its there MBT
BM Oplot-T
Manufacturers designation is Object 478DU9-T

FrankenSAM just got on video, but that is video about destruction of that system, so i think i can`t post it here.
Just explanation in words:
It looks like standart Buk-M1 SAM system , but uses RIM-7 missiles with custom launch-transportation containers(no idea how it called correctly)

Let’s not argue history that is not relevant for the game.
Regardless of who came first, the people’s from then are radically different and unrecognizable from those now.
There is no point in arguing this here.

For your attention, a slide from the American PEO GCS (executive office of the “Ground Combat Systems” program) on the sale of equipment to foreign countries.
Ukrainian Abrams tanks are officially called M1A1 SA-UKR.

It’d be great to see Ukraine as an independent nation in WT. Especially, as you proposed, with some Georgian vehicles to fill the tree out.
However, what I’m worried about is the tech tree starting at rank IV. As we’ve seen with Israel it sucks having level 1 crew with rank IV vehicles. Furthermore, the lineups are practically non-existent, and overall it’s just not a fun experience when you start playing the nation. (Israel is also the least played nation in the game, perhaps for reasons listed above…)
That’s why I’d actually rather have a complete copy-paste rank I-III for Ukraine, instead of having the tree start at rank IV. Then you’d at least have some better crews at the higher ranks, as well as the possibility to form complete lineups at most BRs.
But overall, sure, +1

Would be a really nice addition to the tree if real, but the image is really weird and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s edited. Until there’s more evidence, it should be taken with a grain of salt IMO. Reportedly Militarniy posted this last year but quickly deleted.
