Okay, so I was browsing the internet and learned that this tanks is actually not a BM Oplot zr. 2009 as I thought, but a new Oplot named Oplot-2M, made in 2021. Does anyone know of any changes from BM Oplot zr. 2009 to Oplot-2M? Also, this vehicle could be foldered with BM Oplot zr. 2009 in a tech tree to add another domestically made Ukrainian vehicle to a top tier lineup if it does get added to a UA TT.
Well looking at this hmmwv with a grad launcher, the newer mlrs seems to possibly be a different system? I’m not entirely sure.

Ukraine is evaluating 2 Wolf 25AD SEAD vehicles
I’m 100% for impleting an independant Ukraine vehicle and aircraft tree!
Ukraine has a long standing army (since 1991, fall of the USSR) and features a mix of older and modern vehicles and airplanes.
It would be a great addition to the game.
Someone slap some googly eyes between the ERA.
BTR-4E “Bucephalus”, 13th Infantry Division of the Charter National Guard
Can see this vehicle is fully equipped with its ATGM loadout as well. These missiles penetrate around 800mm of RHA behind ERA due to its Tandem-HEAT warhead. This vehicle is new production that has factory-installed cage armor.

Isn’t the 95th an Air Assault Brigade, not an infantry brigade?
There’s a couple 95th Brigades honestly. There’s a 95th Support Brigade too.
The insignia on this picture seems to be the air assault brigade.
Yeah, just saw that myself lol. I pulled it up on here:
Its full name: 95th Separate Polesian Air Assault Brigade
wow … sanitized the comments but couldn’t revert a mistake.
way to go, fella(s)
