Did you guys notice that the VBLs have the M2HB/QCB in the cupola replaced by an FN MAG? Presumably because it's easier to handle and because the fifty is somewhat too powerful for the tasks assigned to the vehicles.
Anyway, from the same source (www.army.gr), some pics of the Easter celebrations at the Armor Training Center.




Note that the vehicle just visible at the extreme right of the first photo is a Sherman-based M74 ARV (part of the Center collection - a monument vehicle).

Also this HAF F-16C Block 30 seems to be equiped with a Recon/Navigtion (?) pod. Is that a a Goodrich DB-110? Also while we're at it, do we also equip our RF-4Es with Thales ASTAC as well?

It doesn't look like a HAF F-16 to me

Hmm, to be honest at first I had my doubts too, because the camo seems like dark hill gray (USAF, etc. uses), yet it could be aegean ghost as well...And given it was posted on haf.gr calendar it must be one of our own (Block 30 due to radome colour & RWR antenae)

If it's indeed not ours somebody must have screwed up big time in HAF website!
