I would like to see some good quality large Russian tank and APC photos from Chechnya, Afghanistan and eastern Europe. Also some western armour pics large sizes.

Unfortunately it is almost impossible to find high-res non-commercial pics on such themes.

What resolution do you need? Writing book? :)

Eastern European?
Check "Polish armour" topic in the "stricly Photos&video".

Almost! I am putting together a file of photos for a test of AFV recognition in our classes. They don't have to be colour or recent. As long as the name of the tank/APC is not written on the photo that would be fine.

Thank you Javehn, that is more or less what we cover too. We do some artillery pieces too and western armour as well. I would appreciate whatever you can do.
