Is this a Ukrainian ersatz MLRS based on the M113 with the installation of a Turkish copy of the towed MLRS type 63?

It’s modified by Ukraine and that makes it unique. That’s the main point of posting here, under this topic.
To have/collect as many unique/modified vehicles as possible to fill majority of the Ukr TT, in order to give the TT its own character and defend the usual “it’s just a copy-paste tree” counterpoint(s).
Independant Ukr TT in WT is not happening anytime soon, but in the meantime, let the community collect as many unique vehicles that pops up from real life.
Field modified vehicles/platforms are always one of the most interesting topics in all of defense community … not just in WT.

The same can be said for the PLA vehicles as well … those are similarly USSR platform derived majorly.
A BM-Oplot is as much different from a T-80 is a ZTZ-99 from a T-72.

My alternate suggestion still stands
A Visegrád TT (minus Hungary) with Ukraine as a sub tree instead.
(only if independent Ukr is a strict no-go)
Ukrainian uparmored T-72B3

Have you seen the Leopard 1A5 covered in ERA? I bet there will be more photos soon, so we can enjoy more
Yes, and seeing CR2 with Kontakt-1 would be the icing on the cake.

Article on the previously stated Leopard 1A5DK equipped with Nizh and Kontact-1. This vehicle propels the Leopard 1A5DK into early Rank VII. If given like DM63 APFSDS-T, the Nizh-1M/Kontact-1, thermals, etc., the vehicle would sit at around 10.0. Vehicle would likely lose a bit of mobility.

If they put Nizh-1M there, there goes the USA tree’s star weakness lmao.
Edit: Enough about goddamn political shit, if you all think the tree belongs in the USSR tree, whatever, if you believe it belongs as its own tree, cool, keep it peaceful ffs.

Don’t know if I can share here, but there was a pic of a disabled M1A1 SA-UKR with M-19 ARAT blocks mounted on turret sides.
YES for ukrainian vehicles. NO to independent tree. It would need to copy-paste a lot of russian vehicles.
YES for ukrainian subtree* to one of the nations, which would have ukrainian domestic vehicles, thier versions/modifications etc.
*or maybe some big “european tech tree” that would consist of all the different vehicles from all other smaller countries, that had like couple tanks etc

In my…eventual remaster of the tree, I will be including the M1A1 SA-UKR to the tree. Significant mods have been undertaken and should be added.

Quite worried about crew’s chances of escaping if hit, considering how low and tightly the cages are placed.
Visually it does look very cool though
Thank goodness
