    If they can work with the USAF, the KZO-to-PZH2000 shouldn't be the problem.
    Someone from the Artillerieschule there? ^^

    Yep, definitely an ACOG, though not the 5.56 version US troops are issued. I'd venture a guess that it is personally owned/bought, but I'm not sure how such things are handled in the Bundeswehr.

    As for why, could be the gunner likes it better than the normal sight. Other than that, I'm out of ideas.

    Despite all the emotion and speculation loaded discussion in the General Topics section, I would like to try keeping track of the pictures flowing in from Kunduz' battlefields during the last days. Please keep the discussion out of this thread, one sh*tstorm on mp.net over unconfirmed facts is more than enough!

    Scene of the airstrike on two fuel trucks, Sept. 4th, 2009:



























    Scene after a suicider hit a German convoy, Sept. 5th, 2009:

    Can somebody ID the missile system on the Fuchs APC? Is that already the new Spike? Somewhat doesn't look like the old Milan (IIRC).

    Why an ATGM against Taleban? To crack shelters?

    To destroy vehicles such as pickups and vans utilized by insurgents. Also there's little other weaponry in German arsenals suitable for suchlike purposes.
