Are there any books on the post-war Belgian army? Don't find much on internet searches either.

Looking for pictures of the Belgian Scimitar and Striker and some of the UN/NATO deployments.

Thx,
Paul

Belgian Scimitars in Somalia (Operation Restore Hope) :













from this blog : http://restorehope-somalie1993.blogspot.fr/

PS : I'm no ID expert so maybe some above are in fact Scorpions

Thanks for the link. A few scattered pictures in there of the Scimitar in what looks like a motorpool in Belgium.

Unfortunately the only pictures I've seen of cold war timeframe Belgian armor on exercise are the one's in Yves Debay's "Armor of the West: NATO's AFNORTH and NORTHAG" and "Allied Battle Tanks" books.

Have you tried M136.de?

Lots of Belgian stuff on here from Cold War era

Also, lots of videos on Youtube of Scimitars on exercise in Germany on Benzinunimog's page but these are more recent

Found these on M136 for starters

Another website that may be worth a look is this one dedicated to the B Squadron of the 4° Régiment de Chasseurs à Cheval :

Just scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the other pages (40)

Great links. Thanks. I always forget about m136.de even though it's a great source of NORTHAG maneuvers.
