Now this is an interesting development. New Ballistic Missiles developed by Ukraine. This could be used as static vehicles (once the launchers and missiles are shown) on large maps. If they start adding maps that include cruise missile/ballistic missile launches that we can shoot down or protect, another interesting way to add Ukraine.
This is speculation but I’d imagine it’s likely the Grom Ballistic Missile Complex going through further design changes, likely developing the missiles to have better propellants and guidance technology that can hit further out targets but still use the same chassis w/ 2x missile cannisters to remain mobile.
New Ukrainian IFV design just showed up recently known as the Inguar-7. Not much is known at the moment since all that’s available to the public is concept images. But it is said the vehicle will be armed with a ZTM-2 30mm gun and Stugna-P ATGM and will feature a heavily armored hull.
And honestly this thing looks like it will be fun to play lol.
Knowing Gaijin, there’s a good possibility. Does it make sense? Maybe before (a couple of years ago) but now the Ukrainian military is highly diverse and is using a hybrid of Western and Eastern technology. It’s similar to how Western and Eastern technology is present in the German tree. Not to mention its new developments are inspired by Western-technology and its own battlefield experience/initiative.
No, most likely not a sub-tree of Germany. The Swiss will likely fill that role. It could be an independent tree. It has several factors that allow it to be its own tree:
Its own unique vehicles, modified aircraft, and helicopters.
Several western vehicles.
Indigenous hard-kill APS.
Indigenous weapon systems (such as ATGM’s or even ballistic missiles).
An active industrial base that’s designing new vehicles that could be implemented in the future, providing new opportunities for in-game tree growth. It’s also receiving new types of vehicles as well from other nations.
It would be styled how any future Polish tree would be (a hybrid of Wester tech, Soviet tech, and modified Soviet-tech) but would start at a later Rank due to its early history tied to the Soviet Union.
Probably Poland as it’s easier to justify it. That is if it was to be a sub-tree. That’s due to Poland having its own developments since prior to WWII while Ukraine was a part of the USSR at that time.
