That first T-72 needs a flag. Standard anti-armour tactic is to hit the lead tank so the others can't maneuver. You don't want the UAF MANPAT operator to only realize he's hitting a UAF column when he sees the second tank's flag.Former Dutch YPR 765 APCs and Polish T-72s:
They're based on the old reliable M-113. Not the greatest armor but they're the Timex of AIFVs - they just keep on ticking. The 25mm is a good support weapon but not so big as to tempt you to fight with targets that are too big for you.Those Dutch APC's look just the ticket for Ukraine.
Parol and Kremnij systems - probably identical to this one used by russians with exceptions of different daily code used - it must be confusing anyway...With both sides flying identical aircraft, how does a SAM team identify friend or foe? Do the UAF aircraft have IFF transponders?
It's no help blending into the background, but this is close to the WW2 invasion stripes that prevented unintended friendly fire.Parol and Kremnij systems - probably identical to this one used by russians with exceptions of different daily code used - it must be confusing anyway...
Likely. But if Sweden and Finland want into NATO and Turkey holds the cards, then the former two had better consider the latter's definition.

In wlewisiii's post, #7541, the tanks in the vid were from Poland. This was shown in Denys Davydov's YouTube 2nd video today, 6 June. It's very entertaining.I just read that the Poles are sending 240 of their T-72M1/M1R tanks to Ukraine. Has anyone seen mention of this number previously? I had read that they were sending some of their T-72s to Ukraine, but 240? Is this correct?
236 is the official number with more than 100 2S1 and undisclosed number of BM21 (probably more than 50),I just read that the Poles are sending 240 of their T-72M1/M1R tanks to Ukraine. Has anyone seen mention of this number previously? I had read that they were sending some of their T-72s to Ukraine, but 240? Is this correct?
