Yeah but those camo uniforms really stand out against the snow.

Got that right. Years ago a friend of my dad’s was a Pole, a soldier during the war. He managed to escape capture from the Germans(his family wasn’t so lucky) He hate Germans and Russians. He later was a partisan and told my dad he killed every single German and Russian he came across, shot them, beat them to death, stabbed them, anyway he could.. This guy was a tough-ass scary looking Pole(to me as a ten-year kid he was). Not sure how he made it to the US but he loved America and hated Germany and Russia.

You know - these pictures of the infantry troops were taken during the exercise before their deployment to Afghanistan.

So - maybe that's why they didn't use white cammo uniforms.
Well, some did, actually

I’m not such a specialist in weapons calibers, but - as far as I’ve read - the caliber of Beryl rifle is 5.56 mm

It’s the M-16 caliber then?

If so, that’s a smart move, being nato compatible.

"How will they win with 0% diversity?"

They have Unity instead. One of us is confused.

I was just thinking the same thing. Graf, but a few years later for me. I was in a, uh “Tropical paradise” in the sixties.

I'd take a Leopard II over a modernized T-72 myself.

I'll take an M1A2 Abrams over either one any day of the week.

Not really on topic, if you read up the thread to post 14.

Does the current version of the Abrams use the improved gun found on the Leopard 2A6?

The short answer is: I dunno. I haven't touched a tank since 1993. But a gun alone does not a tank make, IMHO.

I guess I should have put the “/S” tag on. Sorry.
