I'll envy these guys if I was in the army grin They are everywhere.

Maybe the government should consider carving them out to be an independent spec ops brigade or something.

The Tactical photos are cool, however they would have been fantastic if they were close up shots.

My thoughts exactly, I knew it was a modified Ratel. Speaking of the Jordanians, they pretty much have built a decent defence industry for themselves. They are also building the Mbombe IFV in Jordan at a cost of 1 million a piece.

Not really a fan of these Special forces RDRV's however, the German Serval Special forces Vehicle and the Jordanian Al-thalab Special forces recon vehicles caught my eye.

The Serval (Pictured below) has 3 gun ports, the main gunner with a 12.7mm, the passenger gunner with a GPMG and a 3rd gunner at the back of the vehicle with a GPMG.

So "tacticool" and so retro!
