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".
Image




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. ;D
Image




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. :D

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 ;D

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. ;D

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.
