Merci Olivier!
Another question, why military vehicles are not always painted in sand color if they are used desert environment ?
Quoted TextMany times a vehicle is shipped to a desert environment from its home country or non-desert areas. They haven't been painted desert camo yet and if they are only going to be there a short time they might not get painted. During Desert Storm and OIF many vehicles were shipped from all over the world to the mid-east in NATO or other camo and then painted desert tan. You can find pictures where the desert tan is chipping off showing NATO camo underneath. They can also be partially painted, have different colored parts like desert tan TUSK kits on NATO painted Abrams or armor kits on wheeled vehicles. You do what you need to do to get a vehicle into battle.Another question, why military vehicles are not always painted in sand color if they are used desert environment ?

Not to mention CARC paint is a PIA to apply properly vs normal paint. I've heard stories of Russian tankers painting their vehicles every 6 months or so!
Regarding the swedish MRAP:s, RG-32M Galten (eng Boar) I haver never seen it painted in other colours than dark green or desert sand hence the lack of pictures of the vehicle in swedish splinter.
