Looks like it’s got a “mine clearing device” attached to the front of it. Not exactly sure what they’re called.

"

Not to diminish the bravery of our Polish allies, but this sounds like the prelude to a bad joke.

My nephew is in Afghanistan right now, and says it's 120 degrees outside.
Either this guy is incredibly uncomfortable, or it's a stock photo left over from the "brutal Afghan winter."
