those scenes make my training area (http://www.upperspencergulf.com/m2_g...na_plateau.JPG) seem not so bad, LOL.

Pics like those make me happy to know that I will spend most of my time inside a heated cv90 when I'm up there.

I've noticed a heck of a lot of pictures of the Swedish military on this site. are you guys actually active in any of the present wars going on throughout the world? I'd be way more impressed to see actual combat pictures.

Only peacekeeping for us, some special forces have ben in "real" combat in Congo-Kinshasa though.

Combat or not. Swedish forces are certainly to be found around the worlds hot spots these days.

Here from Liberia:

and Afghanistan.

What amazes me is that you never hear of any of them being involved in any actual combat. That goes for the Danes too. I was told by a Swedish colleague some years ago that the Swedes did fire back in anger at Serb forces in Bosnia. I am yet to hear that from an independent source. According to one of my South African colleagues here in Kosovo the Norwegians are quite aggressive competent soldiers in battle as he was witness to during the March 2004 riots out here.
What I trying to get at here is that Scandinavians don't give me that impression that they're very hard and I'm yet to hear of any of their exploits on the battle field as I do with the Americans and Brits.

Perhaps you should ask the serbs?

In the Balcans the role of the UN was not one of directly fighting the parties of the conflict. Mostly it was skirmishes, where fire was returned, that didn't make much coverage in the press. But they were frequent, and several times the involved the danish contingent of leopard 1's.

In fact I don't believe there were that many norwegians in the balcans when it really was hot in 1992-1995?

In Iraq gun battles between the danish forces and insurgents are frequent. But it's a relatively quiet corner of Iraq, so it's not anything like house to house fighting in Falluja.
