Shir 2?

Hey Viss that's a very impressive list!   By the way in case anyone was curious #148 (UAZ 469) was a modification made by the Uruguayan Army known as the Aperea (Brazilian guinea pig) and is used by that country's 15th Mechanized Infantry Battalion cheers

UAZ yes, and that is the specific model(before mods), but not Ukraine.....

......and the country that did the mod did give it a name......

I'll let you guys decide how specific we should get with this one - yes it's a UAZ469, obviously modified....but by who?...not the Poles....

Ok here goes...

Anyone mind if I post the pic I was going to last week?...

I tried but failed to get the attachment to attach! (I'm overseas in an internet cafe).  I will try again next week when I get home if that's ok with everyone, I promise it's a good one.....

Pakistani army Al-Khalid, a T-90 derivative, oh and if I'm right, someones going to have to tell me how to post a pic - I have a good one but have'nt figured out the pic thing.....oh yeah and I'm out of the country right now so may take a few days.....but it's a good one I promise....

I too am a member of the media and have been following this discussion with interest since the weekend. First off, David, I greatly respect the way you went about your reporting.  I'm a staff TV camera guy in Toronto and have faced that sort of situation many times, and many times have had to...

About a year ago I had the honour of visiting Canadian graves in Ypres, an experience I'll never forget and one which made me more proud than I've ever been to be a Canadian.  We see today, among those serving in Afghanistan,  the same bravery that the Canadians who rest in Flanders had.  RIP...

Well it was QL2 way back then ...... but, 1) The weekend I forgot my second uniform, I had to get my dad to bring it to the armoury (yeah it was pretty lame) and ofcourse i did'nt get much sleep that night! 2) Actually remembering my C7 serial number when asked by the seargant 3) Pushups in the...

I've had some trouble getting the combat camera viz of our troops in Afghanistan but I found it easy to download at http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-3984617319865392850&q=canadian+army Its very good stuff and especially on this sad day, a useful reminder of the great work our people are...

I've always really gotten into Rememberance Day, but I know this year will be different, it will be more poignat than ever. RIP soldiers, you died defending our freedom and will not be forgotten.

Thanks for the great info from everyone, it will all go to good use and if it airs I will post the time and date ( it's for TV)  I hope this story does help to right the wrong impression that many may have gotten after the death of Cpl Boneca.  Man, how things change! When I did my QL2 there...

What's the Wainright excercise?  I may be able to arrange that (I'm totally sibject to what my boss and DND will allow)....

Three months would be great, in a perfect world.  Believe me I would really like to follow someone getting ready for deployment for that length of time a get elements from the whole story to work with, but that's documentary, not news.  It's just the logistical reality of it - but it looks like...

I saw a pic a while back of a Griffon (yes a Canadian Griffon) with Hellfires  and a 20mm gun - the complete weapon system was apparently not installed, just an aerodynamic test maybe?  Anyways, does anyone know what became of this?  Duey?  Anyone?  Bueller?Anyone?

I'm trying,

I've been working for some time now on getting off the ground a story on how reservists are being trained for the Afghan mission, this all started with a conversation I had with an officer at Ottawa airport back in the winter.  I'm pitching it to my management again as I think it is very...
