Anti Tank M1008s....no joke...

Least we forget..........THE DREADED FRENCH ARMED VESPA . If I remember right, it had a 75 on it.

I rember seeing that Picture in a Book.

Tankers take it very personally when someone tries to blow up their mobile pill box.

Unless they have a real good defilade they probably have a very short life expectantcy.

This is one.

Gotta love tactical nukes. Davy Crockett is my favorite. That looks like the M28 102mm. 1.25 mi range.

Someone needs to make up a M38 with M28 restoration. That'd be a hit. Probably wouldnt be terribly difficult to fabricate a close facsimile, but I'll bet the original pieces of the M28/29 installation kits don't exist.

Did we ever find out the country these pictures were taken in?

@mr. travo:

these pics are from Estonia.

Thats crazy, you'd think they'd be able to sind some goood cheap soviet surplus that'd be a lot more effective.

 

[Muttdriver77]

Dunno,

perhaps they're fed up with all the old soviet crap!!

When I was in EOD one of our instructors told us that the Nuclear Demolitions Charges (for blowing up dams and other infastructure targets) were issued with a bicycle because of the short delay timer on the nuke.

How fast can you pedal????

Cool trucks. There were some deuces at Fort Riley that were labeled FMS. The US screwed whoever was buying them because my deuce was in better shape then all of the FMS trucks.

The only one getting screwed is the American taxpayer......many times the "sale" price is taken out of foreign aid we are already giving them. A smoke and mirrors numbers game.

The taxpayer is getting a lot more bang for buck when GL sells stuff to guys like us.....at least a little goes back into the general fund....even after it is filtered through GL's grubby hands.

We give them aid (money) then they contract to buy our used equipment and after they get it they stiff us on the payment.

just a note, the 120 mm recoilless rifle mentioned was a 106, and the davy crocket was actually in the blast zone of what it fired,

 

[Yeti]

I wouldn't mind having one

Estonia is cruising our CUCV's..riding in the back, shooting stuff... like the retarded cousin of Poland.
No offense to Poland.
