Army Recognition

[spooky]

Hello,

Dutch army military equipment and vehicles:
http://www.armyrecognition.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1498

I didn’t find it anywhere else on this site….so, let’s start a Dutch topic too !
(All pics taken by myself)



YPR-765. Basicly the same as the US Bradley.
This vehicle will be replaced (the next years) by the tracked CV-90 and the wheeled Boxer.

This is the basic version.
Little note: this one has no armour around the gunners-turret.





Basic version, but WITH armour around gunners-turret (as used in Afghanistan etc.)
…typical Dutch weather….





YPR-756 GWT (Gewondentransport)





YPR-765 PRVR (Pantserrups Vracht)





YPR-765 PRI (Pantserrups Infanterie)





YPR-765 PRCO (Pantserrups Commando)





YPR-765 used for B.D.R.(battle damage repair), recovery-training (towing etc.)





Fennek














Leopard 1 Bergings tank Recovery tank









Leopard 1 Genie tank Engineer tank









Leopard 1 Bruggenlegger Bridge tank







Leopard 2 Bergings tank “Buffel” Recovery tank











Leopard 2A6 Gevechts tank Main battle tank












Here are some old vehicles, no longer on active duty, but still in army service for special occasions.



Leopard 1V Gevechtstank



...and these Leo 1´s are used for B.D.R.(battle damage repair), recovery-training (towing etc.)












Leopard 2A4 Gevechtstank fun to drive with, without turret. The same power, but less weight !
If you look very good you can see backrests of seats on the place where the turret used to be. This Leo is used to drive passengers around.





Centurion Gevechtstank
..still driving…(I love the sound and smoke when starting…)










…or stationary in the (Dutch) Cavalry museum at the Bernhard barracks in Amersfoort-Holland.








More (old & new) Dutch to come later…if you want……

No, sorry...little misunderstanding

The YPR´s drive around here in Holland with all these equipments, but.....

In Afghanistan they drive around without the armour-/floating body mounted.
The YPR-765 usually has this about 5 mm thick bended armour and filled up with this foam (about 20 CM thick) which keeps the vehicle stabil when swimming in the water.
Maybe you do not know, but the YPR is able to float like a boat.

So, in Afghanistan nothing is added for equipment, but things are removed !...as it seems there´s not many water in the neighbourhood
Possibly this picture shows it better what is all mounted always. example, here is the YPR-PRVR (pantserrups vracht), equipped specially as a cargo-YPR.



..or here as the YPR-GWT (gewondentransport) the medic-YPR.




...even in Bosnia they drove around (in the early ´90s) with these equipment (but no armour-/floating body removed here !). Here is a fresh UN painted YPR,
with in the background/right an YPR-PRAT (pantserrups anti-tank), the anti-tank YPR with the TOW-rocket turret.

Hi,

On the following link you can find pictures of army and marines equipment on display during the Navy Days held this weekend at Den Helder Naval Base. Shown a.o. were the CV-9035 MK3NL, the FENNEK MRAT and the VIKING MRT. Also shown were a MB-290GS interim SOV and a new MB-280CDI SOV. The link is a photo album on Windows Live Space.
