I am wondering which vehicles, other than US and British equipment ,has seen service in Iraq with the other allies such as Italy, Poland, Austrailia, Spain and the other countries with forces over there. I guess even what equipment the free Iraqi forces are using now as they rebuild their military would surfice also.
Thanks,
well for the iraqi forces i saw ram trucks, and toyata truck with gun mounts in them for the ING forces
i saw iraqi t64s i think on election day along with an mtlb/zsu 23 also they are getting equipment from other middleeast countries t72s from one country and btr-90s from another
as fro the multinational forces what ever their armies use they brought there mostly light and heavy wheeled equipment besides the british who has heavy armour

I found an article on the internet showing the Iraqs T-55’s being deliverd with some MT-LBs on US trucks. I also found where the UAE donated 40 some Panhard M3 APCS to Iraq last year.

I also found out Australia had 40 some LAVs in Iraq also.
Gee I appear to be answering my own questions now.
The same site has an article about some more equipment coming in through Jordan…

“The vehicles, consisting of 50 Ukrainian-built BTR-94, 100 British Spartan, and 100 American-made M113A1 armored personnel carriers, should reach forces operating throughout the country in the next three to six weeks.”
There’s a pic of an Iraqi BTR-80 on another thread. There’s some good Hummer pics there too from somebody in Balad…
