This is me, although this is a couple of years old, I havent aged that much

Thats a Mowag Eagle, an armored scout vehicle. you can read more about it here http://www.armyvehicles.dk/mowageagle.htm

In Afghanistan, the danes are a part of ISAF NATO Operation. In Iraq the danes are there as a part of the US. led coalition. But how if it gets to the point that they will deploy the tanks, I have no idea if how they will get transported, probably by sea.......but thats just a guess.

Well it actually looks that the danish leo2A5 might be a step closer to be used in afghanistan or iraq where the danes are stationed. atleast the army have officially made the statement that the leopards now are ready to be sent into mission areas to support danish troops in iraq or afghanistan. In danish http://forsvaret.dk/HOK/Nyt+og+Presse/%C3%98vrige+nyheder/Kampvogne+klar+til+inds%C3%A6ttelse.htm and some poor mobile fotos of the leo2 in desert camouflage. http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g44/swankodk/rkenleo1.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g44/swankodk/rkenleo2.jpg http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g44/swankodk/rkenleo3.jpg

I know there has been talked about it, but I dont think it will be a reality. The talk came up after light scout unit had been in some heavy fighting in Musa Qala around august, up to 50 times within a month until the got relieved by the british. and after when the major got home with hes unit, he said that some tank support would have been nice, or atleast some armored vehicles. It would take too long to get them there in the first place, and yes there's lot of logistics to think about also. But Im pretty sure we're capable to support and operation like this. We both had leos in bosnia and kosovo at the same time. So Im sure if it was the case that we could do it. it is after all professionel soldiers in both tank squadron and logistics.. Not drafted personell like the swedes that ride tanks. No pun intended Ok swedes, you may flame me now Here's a interview with the major Lars Ulslev about the fighting, and a little bit of footage.....hope you understand danish! http://wms1.jay.net/ftv/arc10/fsv4006.wmv
