History, Politics And Current Affairs

Another great addition, thank you Matt and James! I'm very curious about the BMP and M-84 units: are the Kuwaiti managed to get spares straight from USSR and SFRY during the years between 1989 and 2005 or had they obtained by third-party suppliers? Hmm, good question. If I had to guess, I'd say M-8...

All the sources I looked on seem to suggest that in 1988/89 the Bulgarians still used this format, unlike e.g. the Hungarians that had already made the switch.

BTW, a very very good piece of work

Mirage III: According to this source (https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/thread ... ram.33492/) it seems that the Mirage III MLU program ran aground mainly for technical reasons, so while fascinating for sure (especially the second phase) I see it unlikely to be implemented even in TLWverse. Ala 11: I...

Thanks again for the information :) I checked a couple of old Italian magazines, one from 1996 and one from 2010, that gave us the following breakdown: 47 F-1CE/F-1EE upgraded to 44 F-1M 3 F-1BE upgraded to 3 F-1BM Possible further addition: 11 F-1EDA from Qatar, not to be updated, 1 of the 2 lost r...

Random question, Mario, but was it you who did the Luxembourg Army orbat? Yes, it was funny and with a good degree of detail, given the actual size :D I remember that the so-called "D" Company (if we want to use the English denomination) had an antitank platoon of M1114 armed with TOW and...

Thank you, James. Happy to help. My thoughts: If the Spain has just 18-7=11 EF-18B, the easiest way to deal with it is to equip the 153 Escuadrón with 9 aircraft and leave the remaining 2 in reserve; they're exactly half the 18 standard NATO squadron but we're speaking of an OCU unit, not a frontli...

Thank you, James, it's always good to have somebody keeping track of this kind of issues, because for example I know little about USN numbers and so even less about dismission of its aircraft in @ and in TLWverse. About Manises: the main problem I've found during my revision is that replacement of M...

Feel free to crosspost it in the Spanish Armed Forces topic

Thank you kindly, Mario, but I can't claim too much credit at all. This was simply a matter of taking Bernard's British Army orbat (in turn derived in part from the great work of Louie) and combining it with the TOE post that James1978 contributed, then dressing it up with a little formatting and u...

Absolutely stunning!

Say Mario, didn't you write the Fuerza Aérea Argentina ORBAT? Any chance some version of that still exists? It's among the ones lost but that I should be able to rebuild from scratch anyway (in some weeks, probably). I also think Ed'A will be ready in a couple of days then I'll start writing the fa...

As I see there is a core of old-timers of the Board I gently ask: Does anyone have a Word or PDF file of the main story linking up to the first chapter present on the new forum?

Another great addition, thank you Matt and James!

Huge and welcomed work, of course.

I don't know about numbers and staff level, but I'm impressed by the world class quality of the equipment deployed by the Saudis.

Thank you for the Hungarian and Romanian air forces! 👍 You are most welcome. I just wish I'd saved them all before that board crashed. As for the AM, I'm in the final editing for forum view, I hope tò post it during this weekend, while the EdA's OrBat needs just the Iberia commandeered fleet sectio...

Bernard, James, feel free to copy it or move it on the Italian Armed Forces reserved space.

FYI units in blue are flying or SAM units, while the ones in grey are cadre formations. Questions and comments are welcomed.
