Never seen such vehicule in Afstan
Maybe Frenchy or Robert will say different
French SF used a similar vehicle in Afstan, if you don't care about the nationality of the subject.
One problem the vehicle is only avalaible in resin. It is the Acmat truck and the AM is French

Never seen one either...But this doesn't mean they were not deployed there . On a side note, Osprey's "Special Operation Patrol Vehicles : Afghanistan and Iraq" book doesn't mention such a deployment....

Thank you by the answers. I asked this because I have warpig and dumvee of blackdog and sf figures of evolution. But I found pictures of sf operators in Iraq in this vehicles using uniform without beard. Evolution figures of sf operators is correct for Iraq operations with this vehicles? Thanks again
