Lots of surplus to choose from…NOELREPORTS (@noelreports.com)
A British FV101 Scorpion is now in service with the 1st Brigade Bureviy. Likely acquired via private means or volunteers, as the UK has not officially announced transfers. This custom FV101 swaps its 76mm cannon for a 14.5mm KPVT due to the unavailability of the original gun or ammunition.bsky.app
There were a couple halftracks up in Big Bear (San Bernardino mountains, SoCal - elevation 6,500 ft.) that were used during winter, owned by private owners.Of all the surplus vehicles I ever saw listed in an agricultural supply catalog, it was the White M-3 Halftrack I wanted. They had M-4s too but sometimes ya' just have to be practical.
Scores of Scorpions and mainly Scimitars have been transferred to Ukraine pretty much since the start of the war. They were as you mention private transfers but with considerable assistance from the government who didn't get in the way.NOELREPORTS (@noelreports.com)
