I think you will have more chance to get a translation help from the ones who read this post in this way



P.S : The word جيش probably means Army.

Engin is correct, جيش (pronounced "Jeish") means army.. When we write it this way الجيش (pronounced "Aljeish") the "Al" at the beginning is like "the army"

As for the numbers in the black box, I wrote below them what they are in English

The 5 is the same word and a different number (392131). The 13 is a number and is translated by Hisham on the image. The 7 are different numbers again (392199).

Hi, can anyone perhaps shed any light, please, on what the markings for the BMP-1P in this decal set say?

There is quite a lot of text there, are they names or something?

Thanks

All the writing says one thing.. كتائب فجر الإسلام .. which means "The Brigades Of the Dawn OF Islam" - (pronounced Kata'eb Fajr Al-Islam).. read from right to left, of course

كتائب = Brigades
فجر = Dawn
الإسلام = Islam
