Also some new models like Strv.103B S Tank and Type 74 JGSDF and more.

Kees,

Yes great photos! Thanks!

I'm not 100% sure, but the BMR-600 HOT looks very close to a TOW mount. ?

That is a very interesting Bridgelayer. Anyone know why They would develop a new type versus the off the shelf US M60 AVLB.

That was also my first impression, also because the HMMWV is TOW, but my Jane's tell me it's HOT , I was hoping some one would correct me if wrong. :-)

Thanks for the nice words.

cheers,

Thanks Kees, great reference pics (as usual ) . BTW is there any visible difference between a M1A1 "AIM" and a M1A1 "nothing" ?

TIA

The GPS antenna between the blast panels and the wind sensor, the turret bustle APU plumbing, the newer smoke grenade stowage boxes, and the new wind sensor. I think thats all of it.

Thanks Rob, I have found some informations about AIM program in the meanwhile, but it's always good to get answers from "Those Who Know" what they are talking about...
Should I presume that many (not to say most) OIF Abrams are "AIM Abrams" ?
