#4 The Ukrainians have some BMP-types probably.
This was in Kut. I expect the small patrol in the compound didn't in fact have much ammo. They were cut off from resupply.

#5 If there were Ukrainians, then it could have been BMP-1 (73mm cannon) or BMP-2 (30mm autocannon).

#6 One of the hard and fast rules of military life: if you are short of everything but the enemy, you are in combat. What a story...

#7 We faced a force of four to five hundred rebels, with mortars, RPGs and various handheld weapons.

Troops in combat often overstate the number of enemy encountered. I would be surprised if the number of enemy personnel were over 100.
