Country:  | Yeah it sucked pretty bad. We took about 5 birds on that strike but the last one hit the wind screen and almost punched completely through.

Country:  | Cool! I love the Iranian tank pic.
Something that always struck me as odd was that a lot of desert countries seem to colour their uniforms and equipment green.  | |

Country:  | Love the pics Adler bet that bird strike made the guy jump.
That tank looks in better nick than the ones I saw in Egypt. The local police headquaters at Luxor had an WW2 Willys jeep with an old .5 browning mounted . Every morning it was pushed out then push back into the compound at night I had a decko and found it had no engine.
what a bloody mob

There is actually quite a bit of vegitation througout the country including the desert.
