Spanish marines in Irak.

[Lobo]

The Spanish Defence Ministry press office is just pathetic. But at last I've found pictures in a non official website...

Note the second picture, is it just me or are they building a new statue?

[rob]

i really must say that i keep liking the g6 more and more

[rafaelcb]

Good news then: The Spanish Legion arriving in mid August to the south of Bagdag will carry the G36 with a NEW granade launcher and laser range-finder. :o

[rob]

is it a ag36 clone or a completely new grenade luancher. any pics?

[Lobo]

The AG36 was evaluated in Spain, so it will be probably the granade launcher purchased.

Here you see a member of the antitank company of the Spanish Parachute Brigade (BRIPAC) with the new G-36E and the AG36 attached.

By the way, you can find more pictures from Irak:

HUMMER IS ONLY USED BY SPANISH MARINES, SPANISH ARMY USES REBECO, A SPANISH CLON OF HUMMER, YOU CAN SEE IT IN ENDURING FREEDOM SECTION

i loveMIO operation pics, but the guys in black were italian, dutch, ????

[Dominique]

I beleive they are Marines (Infanteria de Marina) from the Unidad de Operaciones Especiales (UOE).

[MARINO]

NO. BECAUSE THEY DON'T WEAR SPANISH HELMET.

[MARINO]

THEY ARE PORTUGUESE TROOPS

[Dominique]

If you look at the photos closely, you can see a Spanish flag on their shoulders. :bash:

[rob]

i dont believe portugal uses the g36 do they? i thougth they selected a ak type weapon.

[MARINO]

guys in black, don't have spanish flag, don't wear spanish helmet, and they don't have hk-36e , ah they had told me thata they are portuguese

[Dominique]

OK, look at the photo marked BOARDEX BD II 1(3). It looks like a Spanish flag on his left arm. Also I could have sworn that the Portuguese DAE wore uniforms similar to the British DPM camo.

I can check witha couple of guys I know to make sure though.
