United Nations peacekeepers patrol on December 13, 2010 around the Golf Hotel in Abidjan, where Alassane Ouattara set up his headquarters. Troops loyal to Ivory Coast leader Laurent Gbagbo deployed around the hotel housing his internationally-backed rival, as the European Union planned sanctions against him.






Not sure about this one....

I think the top one could be a weasel, I think its too big for a ferret
the secound one is german
and the bottom south african, they like slope armour to deflect land mine blast

could be wrong on all three though

Hi,

the top one is a Panhard AML 245, more precisely an AML 20

The middle one is a VAB (Véhicule de l'Avant Blindé) that is Armoured Vanguard Vehicle
Véhicule de l'Avant Blindé - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%A9hicule_de_l'Avant_Blind%C3%A9)

As for the bottom one, I am not sure if it is also a French made armored vehicule, I will search for that.

Hi again,

I found the model of the last armored vehicle, as I expected it was a French made old Panhard VCR (Véhicule de Combat à Roues), French for Wheeled Combat Vehicle

Hi,

on the left hand side of the middle picture you can see another variant of the Panhard AML 245, the AML 90 which equipped with a 90mm canon instead of the AML 20 equipped with a 20 mm auto-canon.

The VAB has also many other variants, an interesting one is the 6 wheeled vehicle also known as ASX 20.
