Greece: Upgrade for Leopard 1A5 tank revealed.
(Athens) Greece has a fairly large tank force consisting on paper of:
Greek Leopard 1A5 |
Centauro 2 |
It also involves updating the tank's turret
and hull with advanced systems and technologies whilst retaining the 105mm
cannon, which will allow for the large stockpile of existing ammunition to not
go to waste. For protection (with lessons learnt in the Ukraine) the latest
reactive and passive armour will be fitted, which will be backed up by an active protection sensor suite all of
which will increase the weight of the tank to 46 tonnes.
of course this upgrade as a complete revamp of the Leopard 1 will be just that little bit more expensive than the Italian version. Just have to wait and see what the Greeks select.

Ukraine: A huge mistake by Kyiv sees Russians advance 5 miles in hours.
(Donbas) So during a roulement change over on the front line between the Ukrainian 47th Mechanized Brigade and its replacement the 115th Mechanized Brigade for some reason or other left the defensive positions the 47th had been holding empty, Russian forces noticing that error, cashed in by quickly sending forces to rush forward and take those positions before the 115th took over, which resulted in the Russians advancing 5 kilometres into Ukrainian territory, only a counterattack by the Ukrainian 100th Mechanized Brigade stopped the Russians from advancing from the now captured village of Ocheretyne another 7 miles west to the town of Prohres. Huge mistake by the Ukrainians which no doubt will see some heads roll back in Kyiv.

Iraq: Popular Mobilization Forces base attacked
(Iskandariya) A military base in Iraq housing a pro-Iranian militia has been damaged in an explosion, killing one and wounding eight. At this moment in time nobody knows who targeted the base, but naturally all eyes will be looking at Israel.
Footage has been released showing the Scale of the Damage to the Kalsu Base of the Popular Mobilization Force (PMF) in the Babylon Governorate of Eastern Iraq, after last night’s Explosions caused by what is claimed to have been several Missile Strikes; it is Difficult to tell if… pic.twitter.com/R2mAITrKuZ
