M67 "Zippo's" in vietnam. This Zippo is firing at tall grass. They where one of the best (and sometimes only way) to prevent an ambush

Aaaah, the CH-53, codename "Nazgul". Nice photos Tolga!
Germany currently has 3 PzH2000 in Afghanistan. One is in Kunduz field camp but I´m not sure where the other two are. In Kunduz, too, I guess.
Oh, and what I just found:
Another six PzH 2000s are being equipped for what the Bundeswehr refers to as "Afghan climatic conditions" and will be ready for deployment in the first half of 2011.
I hope they will be put to good use...

Ye the M67 had a pretty long range for a flametank.
IIRC the North Vietnamese hated 2 US vehicles to the bone=The Zippo and the M42 Duster. As both of them where very effective in tackling their preffered way of attacks

An undercover special police operative stands next to a horse pulled cart loaded with smuggled cigarettes near Jamu Mare, western Romania, on the border with Serbia, Monday, Aug. 9, 2010. Authorities in Romania say seven people, including a local official, have been detained and accused of smuggling cigarettes from neighboring Serbia by horse and cart. Cigarette smuggling sharply increased in Romania since the government levied extra taxes on tobacco last year.Tobacco companies claim one in three cigarettes is counterfeit or smuggled.

Can the police break the Geneva Convention, too?

Haha, no, German police doesn´t work in Romania. It´s most likely a Romanian police officer who likes Flecktarn. But the funny thing is he has the German flag on his arm and the rank of a "Schütze" (=private), thus my comment about violating the Geneva Convention.
Nice loadout. Is the black vest a balistic vest?

[Die Happy]

and he has a double barrel shotgun ?

wtf !

i guess the shotgun was taken from the smugglers because i cant imagine special ops police force using such an awkward weapon.

See thats what I asked, seems kind of disrespectful to the Germans, for me at least. A Romanian guy wearing a German uniform, forget the camo im only talking about the flag. And the vest is a light one, so its only ballistic protection is up front Thats a step for me though, before it was a light vest strictly for carrying ammo.
