Yes. Whether or not it was actually used in an offensive/defensive role isn’t known though. Regardless, it is listed as “put into use during the war” on Oryx’s website.

Not sure if anyone posted this yet but here’s an image of the Ukrainian BTR-60M.

@Merkko

While there are some museum pieces painted with Ukrainian markings, I believe these did not ever serve within Ukrainian army.

Fun fact. Ukrainian MoD transferred one Mi-24A along with a Mi-26 to a museum in Konotop… In 2021…
Also by the use of roundels in museums on the planes like MiG-21, Mig-23, Mig-27, Su-17, Yak-28, which were used by Ukrainian Air Force, one could assume that Mi-24As were too adopted by the military, although I can’t prove it.

[Yontzee]

Can’t have an upgraded Ukrainian BTR without a Spys, Parus, Shturm, or other combat module!

Edit: Nice find, didn’t even know about this (or forgot about it).

@Yontzee

(or forgot about it).

This is more likely since we talked about it. And i think then we talked about it’s lack of capability to be added into the game(only 14.5mm MG and maybe 7.62) in that configuration, which Steakingbacon showed

the Otaman-3 6x6 IFV with the BM-7 Parus

There’s something different from BM-7 Parus (on your pics at least)

Here is Otaman-3 with BM-7 Parus

[Oregano_Zero]

So would you guys say there is more then enough separate modifications to Soviet vehicles and domestically made Ukrainian vehicles to have its own full tech tree? Or maybe even one similar to the Israeli one where it starts at a slightly higher rank?

[Steakinbacon]

Definitely

[TyrantrumGamingB]

that’s actually quite amazing, I’ve got a weird love for the ASU-85 honestly, would be neat to know if it actually managed a confirmed knockout on a modern MBT, would be kinda funny

[HIMARS_Enjoyer]

Yep. Absolutely.

Or we can cover our tanks in multiple layers of ERA and have fun with ATGM launching vehicles
