i know something about this unit. But i never had the chance to see any pic. I had the honour to have been presented with their beret badge from Zulu (colonel bruno Zorica) in the 1992 and still have it, together with other 2 badges. I know their missions were mainly sabotage behind enemy lines and the unit was formed by ex legionaires ...but there is not much around about them....any pic or info is welcome! Colonel Zulu unfortunately dies suicide in jail, as far as i know
I am a collector of both parties stuff (croatian and serb elite and para military units). I am really on the look for a serb lizard jacket M65 style and pants (as worn by arkan tigers, as well)

Try the following link:
WWW.TRIDENTMILITARY.COM
Follow the link to World Camouflage and scroll down.
He has quite a good selection of the VRS "lizard" pattern as well as other Bosnian Serb/VJ items. There is a fairly well known series of photographs of Arkan in Bijeljina, taken by Ron Haviv. This site offers a jacket identical to the one being worn by Arkan in these photos.
These items pop up on E-Bay frequently as well.
Regards "Obuka", there were several issues of "Raids" magazine that featured photos of this unit. If I manage to dig out my old issues, I'll try to provide more information.
