What wheeled APCs do they use? look like the french 4 wheeled APC.
Their standard issue rifle is the Type 89 assault rifle, and their standard
issue light machinegun is the FN MINIMI Squad Automatic Weapon, but
so far I have not seen any of the soldiers carrying it.

The wheeled APC similar to the French Panhard VBL is the Light Armored Mobility Vehicle(LAMV).

Oh yeah, here's the MINIMI alright.

[Luxembourger]

Aren they going to deploy some of their cool MBT s ?

Well, I'm not that overly excited about the JSDF going to Iraq, but I have to admit that their flecktarn camo and gear is quite cooler than what we have. :|
