I think he's right,  AML 90

He was partially correct. Panhard AML 90 is the newer one

Here is a AML 60 with a 90 in the background.

Time Expired....IIRC it was known as a PZB 200?

[nsmedicman]

You have the country correct....

 

[Teddy Ruxpin]

I'll try.  Japanese OH-1, designed originally as a replacement for their Hughes 500s...  They've bought Apaches for the AH role...

The Isrealis are using tank chassis without a turret and 3 or 4 MGs mounted that looks suspiciuosly like
a Cent. does anyone know more?

This is correct, it is a Centurion hull.  The Israelis do this quite often; they also have (captured) T-55 variants as APCs...  See here:

How 'bout some soldiers?  There's a couple of hints in this picture:

 

[Koenigsegg]

Like the small flag on the side of the truck?

Oops...

(Macedonian, if you want the nationality)

 

[nsmedicman]

Alright genius.....don't keep us in suspense..... ;D

 

[Koenigsegg]

Did I get it?

And, Here we go!

What military "organization" do these men belong to?  They were involved in hostage incident in Moscow a few years back (where their efforts in saving the hostages ended up killing a bunch)

 

[Teddy Ruxpin]

Yup, Macedonians...these ones are in Iraq...

 

[nsmedicman]

Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) special forces (Spetsnaz)

 

[Koenigsegg]

Spetsnaz, yes.
Al'fa (I think that is right) squad.  Modeled after the SAS. From what I remember, they had not yet (as of 2002) suffered a death in the unit.  Well trained, Very strong...and of course, drink...

 

[nsmedicman]

Who are these guys???

 

[Teddy Ruxpin]

Belgian Paracommandos?

 

[nsmedicman]

Wow..... ;D

 

[nsmedicman]

OK....one more....same unit....different ops....there's a hint in the second photo.....

 

[big bad john]

Irish Army Ranger Wing ?  Just a guess.

 

[nsmedicman]

We have a winner.....gee...the Irish flag on the shoulder....and the fact that I named the files ARW....give it away..... :
