Green stuff...lots of green stuff!

Makeshift "enemy" APCs. A cookie for the one to tell me what piece of armor went through this "uglyfication".




Armored transport vehicle "Fuchs" (amphibian) and two airborne assault tanks "Wiesel".





The "Wiesel", one hell of a thing. Being about the size of a VW Golf and fitting into a CH-53 (along with a second one), it combines a weight of two tons with a 110hp VW diesel engine. A versatile thing. Mobile, simple and well armed...20mm cannon or a TOW or a Stinger SAM. Further variations include an "ambulance" and a radar kit (working together with the SAM variation).
In short - something that you'd die for when you're in the inner city.





Makeshift "enemys", volume 2. Four Leopard 2A4s underwent some modifications to resemble T-72s. They didn't survive the "role play" 'though, since we had the pleasure to "shoot" them up when they tried to assault the "Peacekeeping" forces.





Something for you guys. The army flyboys showing off their modern equipment (Ahahaha!). Can't blame the Huey 'though. Kicked up a lot of dust when whopping over us.

I'm guessing a M113 in the first picture?

Just remember to close the hatch, before driving into a big pond

Or you'll get soaked..

Tell me about it.

Forgot to close the drainage valve next to my seat one time (I was bored) and drove into a puddle...fortunately, it was only a small one.
One of my comerades made the same mistake, but he went for the big one.
He described it as a "small muddy fountain" and needed 20 minutes to clean up.

LOL, do we still operate those Bo 105 and Uh-1?
I thought the Eurocopters already arrived...
Nice pics!

The Huey should be re-manufactured forever... posibly the best all-around military chopper ever.

Love that Weisel, too- I could use one of those.

Not fully.
As far as I've heard they're still in testing and evaluation.

Some of them took were on the ILA 2006 'though.
