Yes, I know they aren't all Russian, but I thought it might help.

Hehe nice effort scuba. It doesn't meet the criteria but it was all in good intention. I was in the Greek army for a long time and those pieces of equipment are very familiar to me. The new russian stuff are the ones that intrigue me and find interesting to see with greek camouflage and markings. -To me is like you seeing an Abrams with russian camo and insignia.

PS I take it one of the guys there is you on exchange visit to Greece eh?

Are the Greek forces still using any AMX10Ps?

No. They were put out of service a few years ago along with the AMX-30.

Yeah, the bottom two were taken in the Greek tank museum located in the Armor Center. I didn't have a chance to see the APCs but they did give us a chance to get in the LEO2s, which was interesting.

Yeah, thats me in both pictures. I'm wearing our white over gray uniform with a Greek Army sweater over it (because it was really cold and someone told we only needed summer uniforms when we went). I'll post some pictures from the Greek Airborne school sometime.
