Aloha everyone!!!

Was wondering if anyone knew if the Italian armed forces are still using the Puma 4x4? I've seen pictures of the 6x6 in Afghanistan but none of the 4x4 in either the Iraqi campaign or Afghanistan campaign.

Thank you in advance!!

In 2008, the Italian contingent in Lebanon still used the 4x4 variant.

Hello Kurt,

If you look at the Tankograd book about Esercito Italiano, there are some photos of the 6x6 version in Afghanistan in 2005 and in Irak in 2004.
