The minister of defense is declaring that Albania will send 20 trainers and 45 special forces operators in a-stan to be involved in fighting zone in Kandahar. Those troops will be part of the contingent coming back from Chad.
This mean that more pics and wides will be coming form the war zone!
^^ Arent there supposed to be 85 Special forces going there instead of 45 ??? and the number as i recall correctly the number will increase thus by sending in Apcs and Ifvs aswell(when bought later this year according to the mod) since it is confirmed the AS532 helicopters will operate there aswell
Reportage about sniper team in the Albanian special forces (albanian language i don't understand it but video looks interesting),some Albanian member maybe can translate some interesting news from video.
