Tiger331 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Hi there, Not really my scene (military aviation is my bag) but for the benefit of the armour/AFV fans out there, some photos from the Republic of Estonia Independence Day celebrations earlier today. Some of the image quality is questionable - I think my camera was struggling with -16C weather conditions and occasional snow - I managed to get out and take a few photos having earlier participated in the military events myself. The vehicles shown all participated in the Military Parade and included Challengers, Warriors and CRVs from the British Led NATO Battlegroup, Danish CRV90s (again from the NATO Battlegroup), and CRV90s belonging to the Estonian Defence Forces. Other items of interest included a South Korean built K9 SPG, which is on loan from the Finnish Trials Unit (Estonian is planning to become the second NATO nation (after Norway) to acquire this SPG) and a US Patriot battery unit. Anyway, I hope you enjoy them - I know the Armour community on BM don't get as much in the way of real photography so I thought I would make up for it.

Bandsaw Steve Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Some impressive kit there Tiger. That SPG in particular! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niallmhor4942 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 The photo of the K-9 SPG looks abit like a M109A2 but, with return rollers as the M109A2 doesn't have them . The track sits on the 5th road wheel on a M109A2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
