Seen today on the open house of the German Ministry for Defense, the Marder 1A3 Mod is
used as the so-called “Systronic Demonstrator”. Basically the same vehicle as the Marder 1A3,
it is fitted with a drive-by-wire system, usable from three stations inside, a remotely controlled
weapons turret for guns and missiles (still fitted as mock-up only) and new sensors. Additionally
a training system and a close range communications and data transmission system for the dismounted
infantry is integrated. The vehicle has six flexible configurable workstations and is meant to be used
in network-centric theatres.
The Su-25 was intended to substitute the MiG-23BN of JBG-37, which were planned to be sold, but since there was no other state found to buy them and due to the demise of the GDR, this plan never materialized. Because of this it’s highly probable that the Su-25 would have been operated by JBG-37, not JBG-77. This latter wing operated the Su-22.

The Rook doesn’t make much sense, it’s a Soviet regiment that was stationed there. Personally, I’d do away with controversial stuff, that being planned stuff or stuff you aren’t too sure about, there’s always issues with those, other than that very good post.
That’s just dumb. Why add a vehicle because “it was on X country’s soil”?. Let’s add the T-80BV to Germany too then, since the USSR had some of those stationed in Berlin.
