I’m very suspicious of it too. Singapore, Indonesia and North Korea going to China? Not happening.
I think they’ve taken prior leaks (Osa, Swiss F-5 + F/A-18, etc.) and just surrounded it with speculation. I highly doubt half of the ‘confirmed’ stuff is actually confirmed.
Why are you guys so against Poland and Yugoslavia together? I get it if Poland is introduced, and Yugoslavia placed as a sub-tree (or vice versa), but a combination of the two in a fictional coalition would make for an awesome tech tree, along with Ukraine, as all of them use heavily modified foreign equipment, mostly Soviet, and it could reduce copy paste.
equal position would be ok with most of us im sure but when they said “sub” for yuga it’s actually quite hilarious since yuga offers more unique stuff than poland if we count post- yuga stuff
An idea for a profile picture:
Marjan Jelen, a Slovene test pilot in YuAF that was the first to break the sound barrier in a fully domestic Yugo jet, the J-22.
Very much looking forward to seeing what else has gone into it. I see articles stating there is also planned armor changes beyond the electronics. I wonder if they’re going to slap some BRAT on it as well.
Defense Minister Ivan Anušić and German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius will sign in Berlin the letter of intent on the procurement of 50 Leopard 2A8 MBT for the needs of the Croatian Army.
In exchange Croatia will send 30 M-84 MBT & 30 M-80 IFV to Ukraine for the first delivery probably at the start of 2025.
And and the total price of the new Leopard 2A8 MBT would be reduced by donated amount of Croatian equipment.
I think Janes made a mistake here. Yugoslavia never used 9K33 Osa / SA-8 Gecko. They did however use a naval version of the system called 4K33 OSA-M / SA-N-4 Gecko which was installed on two Yugoslav Koni-class and two Kotor-class frigates. The system entered the armament of the JNA in 1978/1979.
It used 9M33 missiles, which in JNA bore the designation RZ-13.
I stumbled across this, and thought this could potentially be interesting to yall :) Oshkosh JLTV with spikes demonstrated/tested in Slovenia (haven’t looked too much into it tough, article should be open to all)
