Hi CIA Agents and other Folks!

Found this photo and news story over at Army Mil.

Don't know the correct names of most of these vehicles but the story says elements from Australia, Belgium, Canada, France,
Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom are taking part in the operation.

Check out the paint job on the (left to right) second wheeled vehicle and the first tracked vehicle. At first I though it was a camo
net, but it's not, it is some type of paint.

Here is the link to the news story:

Spot Report!

Roy,

it is a camo net or rather a mat, looks like the Swedish Barracuda or a variant thereof- have a close look at the side vent on the G-wagon's hood, you can see where it has been cut to fit.

I might be mistaken but isn't that M2 on the Green "G" wagen a FN model with quick change barrel?

When I look at the larger copy of the picture, the receiver looks like a regular M2. However there is something on the far side of the barrel that doesn't look like the older type of M2HBs.

Looks like some sort of handle to remove the barrel.

Don't know about the FN bit, but it's definitely a quick-change barrel M2 mounted on the "P"-wagon... It's a Peugeot-built variant of the "G"-wagon in use by the French army, maybe we should alert our French agents?
