I posted this picture of a checkpoint for pilgrims in Karbala because the Iraqi Army vehicle in the background looks like it has some actual protection, as opposed to the pick up trucks etc. that they usually use.

Finn is that the picture you wanted to post? Please do not hot link pix..It eats up band width. Download them to your computer and use a photo hosting site..Thanks..

[Costas 240GD]

Finn, your pic doesn't show, but I guess it shows an Ain Jaria (as the Polish made Dzik-3 is known in Iraq).

[bd popeye]

Webby says we may post some military pics in this thread. Let's keep it to news related pics, entertainment, sports etc..Finns pic is fine..

As an example I should delete my Tiawan military pic and the Picture of the USS Annapolis...

Let's see..News related military/police/fire events are OK...Entertainment and oddball news are Ok..So are sports..

However, I will be very lenient on the postings in this thread as we want to keep it alive!

Oh yea..no nudity, bikinis etc..you know what I mean...

Development of Talisman M, the BAE Systems unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV), is surging ahead following its inaugural sea trials in August. This new Talisman variant, designed specifically for mine clearance operations, undertook its first sea trials at the Royal Navy’s Defence Diving School on Horsea Island, Portsmouth.
The Talisman trials were a key milestone in the UUV's development programme, enabling the project team to trial the integration of the various payloads, from the navigation and sonar equipment to the mine neutraliser – the BAE Systems Archerfish system.
Development trials continue, with the aim of conducting a series of customer demonstrations in the US before the end of the year.
