Interesting camo patterns of CzAF ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฟ. THREAD.

Seems like you really liked Vipers in standard CzAF pattern, now lets look at some unusual camo patterns used by Czech Air Force. Both fixed wing and rotary wing. 1/x Image
Lets start with Gripens. This one (1st and 2nd pic) got this paint scheme back in 2018, as part of celebration of 100 years of CzAF. Second one is using "NATO tiger" camo scheme to present 211st tactical squadron as part of NATO Tiger Association. 2/X ImageImageImageImage
L-159 ALCA. This is really interesting one. Let me present to you L-159 ALCA "Spitfire". I believe mainly Brits (@thinkdefence @nicholadrummond ) will appreciate that. It got this paint as a memorial of Czech pilots in service of RAF during WW2. 3/x ImageImageImageImage
We continue with ALCA. One model got this Digital camo pattern as a appreciation of 20 years of L-159A in service of CzAF. 4/x ImageImageImageImage
Next is Mi-24/35 helicopter of 221st helicopter sqn. Here you have "ALIEN TIGER" that won the best camo pattern competition during NATO Tiger Meet 2016. (but it isnt the only Hind that got some repaint - last pic) 5/x ImageImageImageImage
Lets end this with Mi-171 of 222nd helicopter sqn. This paint job is documenting three camo patterns used by CzAF, from tail (oldest) to front (currently used) 6/x ImageImageImageImage

I have to say. Avia B-35/B-135 will always stay in my heart. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฟ

Beatiful aircraft. Work on it started in 1936. First flight of B-35 was on 28th september 1938. Made by Czechoslovak company Avia and designed by Czech engineer Frantiลกkem Novotnรฝm and his team. 1/5 Image
It had Avia HS 12Ydrs engine with power of 860 HP and were able to speed up to almost 500 km/h. It was to be armed with 1x 20mm canon and 2x 7,92mm MGs. 2/5 ImageImageImageImage
First verion, B-35 had fixed landing gear, but supposed serial production version for Czechoslovakia called B-135 was made with retractable one, and also it was planned to equip it with more powerfull Avia 12Y-1000 engine with 1000 HP power. 3/5 Image

Logistics. It isnยดt so "sexy" topic as fighter jets, or tanks, or IFVs, but its absolutely crucial for warfare.

In AฤŒR (Czech Armed Forces), logistic units are part of "Sรญly bojovรฉho zabezpeฤenรญ" (forces of combat security/sustainment). Lets look at them closely.

THREAD 1/x Image
To understand Czech logistics. We need to start with units and their equipment, before we can get to details.

Units: First of all. Every combat (mechanized, tank etc.) or combat support (artillery, Air defence, engineers) battalion of AฤŒR, have its own logistic company. 2/x Image
On top of that. There is 14th logistic regiment which is made of 141st and 143rd logistic battalions and 142nd repair battalion. Next is Center of operations support and battalion of support of deployable forces, which main task is to support allied forces on territory of ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฟ 3/x Image
