Errors report - OOB 26 Afghanistan

[Marcello]

There are some problems.
All T-62 (units 17,20,21,22,38,594 and 595) are available only until 1990. For the present date only T-55s and PT-76s are available. However in reality the T-62 is the backbone of the ANA armored units.
See for example:

Or this

I can bring up various others sources, including pictures and footage.
I think that the T-62s availability date should be extended to 2020.

Another error is that the formation n.5, Battle Tank Company, is available in the artillery screen instead of the armor one.

Finally units 502 and 503. These are Hawk and Patriot SAM.
Maybe I missed the news but I doubt that the US trasferred Patriot SAMs to the afghans in 2005. For that matter unit 506 (Chaparral) is highly suspect too.

If you find any information on this that doesn't involve " I doubt " or "is highly suspect" let us know. Otherwise, you're just guessing.

OK I was a bit sarcastic. But let's put it this way: if some OOB designer with a sense of humor manages to sneak something like the F-22 or some other obviously out of place item in such an OOB what is one supposed to do ? You will never find a source categorically stating that they do not have such kit. What you will find are articles like this

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servl...national/Asia/

or partial lists like the one can be found here

And so on. No mention of Patriot, Hawk or Chaparral anywhere. Since such trasfer goes against logic, US policy and would have generated quite a lot of buzz which was conspicously absent the obvious conclusion is that the OOB designer made it up.
