Maybe something a bit more subtle. Tank passing civilians in a ruined village, including one guy who has a Dragonov sniper rifle leaning behind a wall just out of sight.

Hi Edward,

From what I recall the Challenger 2 wasn't used in Kosovo in 1999, any pictures I have show the Challenger 1 used by the Kings Royal Hussars.

Challenger 2 was used later by the RSDG in 2000.

Let me know if you are looking for pics. I might have some in the files
