    Can you identify these>>>

    This first one looks like a older Brirish AFV, if so amazing that its still in service







    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

    The vehicles are white for a UN peacekeeping mission. Afghanistan is not a peacekeeping mission.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    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

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

    Regards

    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

    Regards
