Not that I am being anal.. but I think you should give credit to the photographers who took the time to take those pictures.. or at least mention the Combat Camera site when you post stuff from it, unless that's not how it works here. It would be appreciated by those who do that for a living I am sure.

We do not have LAV-25's in the Canadian military but we do have the Coyote and Bison as explained by Reservoir Hogs. The Coyote is similar in appearance to the American LAV-25, but you cannot compare the two since both are employed in a completely different role.

If you are asking about the vehicles that have the 25mm chain gun, we have both the Coyote and LAV III vehicles.

PS: This is not an advertised arena, therefore no need to mention the pics are from Combat Camera. There is enough advertisements in our world today without having to look at even more, be it signs or words.

Okay, no need to credit "Combat Camera".. but credit the photogs at least? They did take the time to get the pics for us? I don't know.. maybe because I know a few I feel that they deserve the recognition.

Awesome pics Res, did anybody get pics of the damaged turret?

I'm sure the barrel is FUBAR, although the rest should be okay.

Poor guys, getting smacked like that is a really big ouch.

There was a story going around that in Germany, a Leo Driver who was standing in his hatch got his head knocked off when the commander traversed the gun.

Don't know if that one is true or not.

I think, that M-B G was made allsow in France as a Peugeot. Many of M-B modells are made in US, so I thought that may be Galendwagen for Marines Corps. and Canadian Army comes from american factories.

Do you have more pictures and any information about this armoured Mercedes-Benz G used by Canadian Army?
I'm G-wagon qualified so I'll tell you what I know.

The G-wagon is a permanent 4-wheel drive vehicle powered by a 2.7 litre, 5-cylinder, turbocharged diesel engine. The differentials are locked in electronically by means of pressing 3 buttons in the cab (this can only be done when the vehicle is travelling less than 15 km/hr.) The tiptronic transmission is a 5-speed automatic which can also act as a manual by slapping the shifter left or right. This is helpful when you need a lower gear to avoid powering down. Note* The slap-shift transmission is already having some problems.

An interesting fact is that there are two electrical systems in the vehicle (one for the vehicle and the other for the radio) and in case of a dead battery you can drain the radio battery into your primary battery and start the vehicle. There are also small solar-panels above the rear-left window which constantly charge the batteries.

The vehicle has a meager fording depth of 60 cm which is just below the bumper. This makes you question why the vehicle has the giant snorkel.

This photo was taken by a soldier in Afghanistan of a helo rescue mission. The pilot is a PA Guard guy who flies EMS choppers in civilian life. Now how many people on the planet you reckon could set the ass end of a chopper down on the roof top of a shack on a steep mountain cliff and hold it there while soldiers load wounded men in the rear??? If this does not impress you ... nothing ever will. Gives me the chills and a serious case of the vertigo ... I can't even imagine having the nerve ... much less the talent and ability .

I've seen more pics of chinooks being used that way. Mostly with the backside on a cliff. It's hard but not that incredibly hard apparently.

They are MP's. A newly created close protection unit. Nothing more than MP's that have done a shooting package, and can see threats. They are not JTF2 and they are certainly not Infantry soldiers.


incorrect, more then half are infantry now, like csor, its open to all trades in the cf, and many of them are switched on, trust me

Look at the date on that post.
In 2006 the Close Protection Gig was all MP's.
Yes, now there is a selection invloved and it is open to all sorts of trades.
Check your SA next time before jumping to conclusions.
