Does anyone have info & pics of Serb Republic's military?
I don't mean the 1995 and before photos, but after the war - how does their army, airforce and police look like these days?
One interesting pic from B92 website:

There is a photo gallery on the VJ's website: http://www.vj.yu/fotografije/index.htm
Also, RSK started several recent threads on Serbian and other former Yugoslavian military forces. Try searching under his name.

Heh...no, i didn't mean Serbia & Montenegro, i'm talking about Serb Republic, the Serbian entity of Bosnia & Herzegovina, comprising roughly 49% of total area of that country, with a population of approx. 1.6 million people. Its capital city is Banja Luka
Its the yellow part on this map:

They got their own army, air force, police, etc.

That first picture you posted is of the Bosnian Serb special police looking to arrest top war crimes fugitive Radovan Karadzic.
I posted some in my daily thread on March 15 (http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10391&start=0). You should like those ....

You should say "Republika Srpska" then. We generally don't translate it to avoid confusion with the Republika Srbije. As I said, one place to check RSK's threads. Here is his thread on the police, which includes the first photo you showed: http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10441
I haven't seen too many recent pictures of the armed forces (VRS). Both the VF and the VRS are being reformed though. On March 15, a Serb, Nikola Radovanović, was appointed the first State Defense Minister of BiH, in one of the first steps to combine the two armies. The VF is to be reduced to two brigades and the VRS to one. There are supposed to be 5,576 Bosnian Muslims, 2,424 Croats and 4,000 Serbs in the combined army.

President of the Republic of Srpska Mr Dragan Cavic is leaving Trebinje after orthodox celebration, on flight to Banja Luka. Coll. Okilj, the very best gazelle pilot of Srpska air-force, is showing all beauty of this magnificent machine.
Over a 120 Aerospatiale Gazelle's were licence built in Yugoslavia.
Some 60-70 are still operated by Serbia & Montenegro and about 30 by VRS.
