Thanks for the pics chris450. Are those AK74's or are they 100's series in 5.56 or 7.62?

Great pics! Their BDU's look washed out, very much like pics of the US Army's ACU... is that the intended colors or do they fade badly after a time?

Thanks! the truth is that the new Desert camo colours are pretty light..but i dont really know if they fade so much ...some posters actually serve in NG ,they can answer that question

note that most of the pics were taken during exercises,a LOT of dust

....you'll see some greek lizard cammo too in some of the pics

Fantastic photos @Chriss!
some more with the T80U MBT....

chris450 · 06-05-2006, 08:01 PM

thanks Alex!

PS Correction the Aks are the -74 version not -100.....

don't **** with cyprus...****, those machines look mean.

how do they like the BMP-3 in service?

chris450 · 06-05-2006, 08:09 PM

they are very satisfied with the BMP-3/T-80 combination ...another batch of T-80s is under order

chris450 · 06-05-2006, 08:14 PM

Typical BMP3 squad + crew

the new AK-74s on diplay..

Cooperation with the overflying Mi-35s

This pic demonstrates the effectiveness of the NG desert camo..

amazing pics m8s, but photobucket is not sufficient for the MP.net.. the many views per page consume the (small) bandwidth limit, and we can't see the pics after a while..

chris450 · 06-05-2006, 09:19 PM

they are all on imageshack

Pytheas · 06-05-2006, 09:24 PM

I'm totally digging those BMP-3s and T-80Us. Cyprus seems to have a very effective army.
