Tolga, long time no see! Hope you´re alright, with all that stuff going on in Syria! ;)

An IFV of the UN Force Intervention Brigade during a firefight with rebels in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The UN FIB is the first UN unit that was allowed to take part in offensive operations.
Following the deployment in the DRC, the UN proposed deploying the FIB in the war-torn Central African Republic.
And so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.

You could probably get your hands on one soon considering they're already replacing it ;)

Looks about as useless as ACU.  The pattern just blends together into a single colour.  Actually it's still more effective than ACU, since it is green, not grey.

He was not wrong. Amateurs talk tactics, pros talk logistics.

Tractor armed with a Pucará 2.75 inch rocket pod, 1982.

Several mechanics stationed in the Islands began working on improvised defenses, one of these was this tractor armed with a rocket pod taken from an Air Force IA 58 Pucará. The engineers tried to place three pods first, then two but it was too heavy for the tractor and it ended up using only one. When the British forces approached the last Argentine positions in the Islands, this invention, among others, were used in combat. It is not known about it's final fate.
