Hey /k/

Can you identify those three unmarked icons? My guess that the last row down two is some sort of air infantry, but not paratroopers.The third row first one looks like a motorized anti-aircraft, but it only has a small vertical line in the center, so it doesn't make sense. It could be an unspecified weapon(WEAPONS/WEAPONS SYSTEM), but I'm not sure, It's weird. They don't seem to exist in APP-6 either (https://web.archive.org/web/20210621224739/https://litpolukrbrig.wp.mil.pl/u/APP-6D_JOINT_MILITARY_SYMBOLOGY._16_October_2017.pdf).

Thanks.

the half oval cross thing would probs be rotary infantry, so airborne infantry

Right one in the top row is without a doubt a alight air defense gun but I can't place what the left one would be.
Ostensible air defense too but it lacks the arrow at the top to be air defense machine gun, other heavier guns would have horizontal bars and air defense missiles should have a dome around the vertical line.
This is making me crazy.

According to Wikipedia the bell-shape indicates a friendly air or space unit, so I agree it's probably airborne infantry, but since it doesn't have the "bowtie" it's probably paratroopers.

It shouldn't be either, paratroopers have a little "wing" symbol and air assault a V.
It's like an ordinary infantry unit which counts as an air entity, friendly too which is also weird-

Yes, that would be the case if it were a normal icon, and the other options wouldn't be so weird. Usually, an air defense gun looks different and it looks like an oversimplified version. This is why I didn't fill it and left room for doubt.

AA thing but larger.

Looks like someone started to draw a benis and gave up halfway through.

The bell shape if for the whole icon, the red diamond means enemy surface unit. Infantry is always an X shape.
>>64268966
The low arc means air defense. The one on the left is a garbled missile and the one on the right is a gun, but the developers used the wrong symbol (should be a vertical line on the left).
All in all, it's pretty sloppy. They have symbols for amphibious and motorized, but no specification on what kind of unit it actually is. They also have symbol for "air infantry" which make no fucking sense unless this game has jepacks or something. The aviation units are also shaped wrong for a hostile force.

Jetpack infantry?
Alternatively; Angels.

Now I'm imagining some tired FAC-type having to deconflict angels and air support only to realize the troops had misreported some unusually large birds as angels.
