There are still 20 Leo's MBT Ops and they will be replaced by AIV 90mm, which is hilarious !

dumbest idea ever! I always wanted to drive one of those beasts! Leopard I are still great tanks in my eyes!

Mind if I can ask anything about the "Groupe Delta de la Police Boraine?"

They seem like a SWAT team for Saint-Ghislain, Boussu, Quaregnon, Colfontaine & Frameries) with the Steyr AUG in a carbine-type barrel and a Glock 17 (Can't tell which model).

Unless if I'm wrong.

Edit, afther taking a second look it seems he is wearing all dutch gear. But then why he is wearing a belgium red beret.

Airmobile Brigade. It was a QRF excercise IIRC, and LUMBL is the Landmacht principle quick reaction force if i'm not mistaken.

I believe it is in some sort of way, not for every job like the navy hase his marine corps that do all kinds of things.
