Hi guys,

I'm looking for photos of the BTR-80U/BTR-3U Guardian, as used by the UAE Marines. I have the photos from the issue of JoMO. If you know where I can find more info, please let me know.

Cheers

Olaf

Olaf,

Welcome aboard!

If I can recall correctly, I think that an issue of "Journal of Military Ordnance" had an article a few years back on the BTR 80 in UAE markings/colors. If you don't have this issue, I'm sure that one of your fellow AMPS members might. (I'm at work now, so I can't dig up the specific issue)

Let me know if you can't find it. I can zerox it and get it off to you via land-mail if needed (and if I am recalling correctly).
