Norfolk Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Sweet vid you posted up for us 12Alfa. Between the Leopard II A6M's and the rebuilt M-113A3 assault vehicles, the Danes are the heaviest NATO contingent in theatre. Those boys ain't foolin' around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W@NKER Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 The tanks has been there since november, and has been firing a couple of rounds at the talibans......and they seem to have respect for the heavy cats. Lets hope they continue to have that respect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingtiger Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 That Barracuda systems sure gives the Leo a different appearance. 2003-2004 we had it on our Strv121for a few months, after a few days most of it was torn apart and after a few exercises only the barrel, turret and some parts of the body part had the barracuda left I think it tooked the crews 2 days or so to mount it, and then they shreaded it apart much faster then that still it did matther when looking in TIS so its worth it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacbat Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I was wondering if the netting was prone to snagging. I guess that answers that question. Perhaps the desert will be a better environment to use it in. Fewer trees anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and the barracuda is also taking some of the heat from the sun away from the turret, which makes it a bit cooler so the aircondition doesnt have to run at maximum all the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
