Canadian Airborne Regiment Photos

[EvanL]

Sadly this unit was disbanded due to the actions of a few members during our SOmalia mission, and our liberal governments distaste for our Armed Forces.

What is a Canadian soldier doing with an AK-47 on photo 4? It s a captured weapon?

It's not an AK, it's a standard Diemaco if I'm not mistaken.

By the way, look at that CADPAT-pattern on pics 5 and 6. Damn, I want one of those kits ;-)

The Airborne Soldier isnt holdin a C7 in pic 4 that is definatly a captured AK from the somalis.

[Smintjes]

No, it is not. First of all, CADPAT (AR) wasn't around in Somalia, and if you look at these series of photographs (http://www.army.dnd.ca/lf/equip/hab/1/133_e.asp), all featuring the same model, it is a Diamaco.

Ah, I stand corrected. I was talking about a different set of pics. My mistake, I'm sorry.

Smintjes that is definitely an AK-47 in that picture. Quote from the caption next to the photo on the website;

"Look at me - a renegade warrior, sitting in the African bush carrying a captured Chinese AK-47. Everyone thinks I'm becoming one of them - "going native" - speaking Somali, talking with them, reading the Koran, squatting like them, acting too much like them."

(I definitely recommend reading the whole Somalia article, fascinating!)

I know, I was talking about the wrong set of pictures ;-) Definitely AK;

A little not about how to find out where pics come from? the way I find out is just to right click and then check the properties! There's usually a URL posted there!
