This is the first time I have noticed that being used

It would appear the vehicles marked with the cross *MAY BE" captured Russian equipment though I do not have definitive proof about that besides one reference to the Russian Markings removed and the Ukrainian White cross applied .

Minor point though

#Ukraine: A Polish-supplied T-72M1R tank spotted in #Bakhmut that's an excellent example of local Ukrainian modifications- as well as Kontakt-1 ERA, additional rubber sheet armour has been added to the turret/hull, as well as slat armour to the rear of the turret. pic.twitter.com/tga30V8pR4

Here I also found ordinary T-72M1 also from polish deliveries older variant. I my assume that Ukrainian repaint them to dark green and rebuild with Kontak-1 bricks before sending to front (myth said that Kontakt-1 they are taken from Russian wreckages of T-72 and recycled in that way)

A few minor issues:

Formation #107 should be using trucks (unit #598), not jeeps.

Formation #194 has extra space in title.

Territorial companies #997, #998 have extra "Pl" in title.

So supposedly Ukraine should be getting AMX-10RC; no idea of quantities; but France has 200+ of them they could give.

Let's wait and see on this one......

[MarkSheppard]

I realize this may not be the place for it; but these apparently are going to be AMX-10RCR (AMX-10RC Renove).

http://www.military-today.com/artillery/amx_10rcr.htm
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMX-10_RC

Between 2005 and 2010 a total of 256 vehicles were upgraded to the AMX-10RCR standard in order to keep them operational until 2015-2020.

Upgraded AMX-10RCR vehicles were also fitted with Galix self-protection system and LIRE infrared jamming system.

I checked the French OOB; and I think the following unit represents the AMX-10RCR:

French 041 AMX-10RC sbd

It arrives 1/2010, has VIRSS, etc.
