tflash Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 The Belgian Defense Forces are upgrading with a lot of new gear. I had the chance to see the Dingo II APV from close on; and today took a breathtaking ride in a Pandur APC. The Pandur is six-wheeled, it was amazing how fast it could blast through very heavy terrain. I didn't have the chance however to see the new Piranha IIIc AIV, which is a heavier 8x8 vehicle. Anyway, seeing all this gear really makes me want to fly Black Shark!!! Dingo: http://www.defense-update.com/products/d/dingo-kmw.htm (The roof-mounted gun is steered with a joystick and LCD screen from the inside!!!) Pandur: http://www.army-technology.com/projects/pandur/ Piranha: http://www.army-technology.com/projects/piranha/ I assume the BTR-90 is the benchmark, are there other similar wheeled vehicles around that we should know about?

Pilotasso Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 My country is also going to aquire 260 or so Pandur II's of 16 different versions. Our M60-A3's are good for target practice. :D Dont think a country like mine needs such an armor fleet like this but at least we are going to make some maney by exporting them as well. .
Guest IguanaKing Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 That Dingo reminds me of a Bearcat.
