thats correct

But the Argentinians based it on the TAM chassis, which they've also used for a number of other vehicles.  Not too many of the SPG version apparently, only 8 devided up between two units, according to my Argentine sources.

Been a while i reckon. Any one want to hazard a guess at this?

Sory but given the nature of the picture I thought it only fair that I hijack the thread and try to fly it to Cuba.

Thats ok, not like it was a serious post.  I got to admit i don't actually know what army that is.  :-[  Funny pic though. ;D

The operators/observers' seat in the front is WAY to comfy looking...but I would be thankful for the basket to hold my kit

It is a deadly picture isnt it? Just doesnt quite have the intimidation factor that most military vehicles achieve.
Anyone have any idea on my picture yet? Or is just going to be left alone?

 

[CrazyCanuck]

Is that the digital pattern the American's experimented with in the 70's? Or am I in completly the wrong decade?

 

[Trooper Hale]

i could put up another photo if you like. The vehicle itself is very distintive though and i dont want to give it away. I know its not a very detailed shot and it doesnt give a whole lot of details but there must be a couple of people out there who can pick it just from what they can see there.

Is it a Unimog?

Spot on, Australian Army UniMog. Taken last week from the back of a Land Rover Defender. Most tarps on the back of vehicles are the digitalised cam. I dont know how long we've had it but it seems to work pretty well.

 

[CrazyCanuck]

WOW! Ok i'm completly stunned I got that, see civi's can play this game too

 

[Trooper Hale]

I actually thought that that would stump people for a little while. So far i havent put up a photo that done that though. Its sad :crybaby:

PS. Well done, it was a good pick on your behalf to get that

 

[Shamrock]

Hale, first thing we do when you post a photo is go through the ORBat of the Aus army and work our way out from there
