I'm after any pics etc of MOWAG Eagle IV being used in Mali. The only image I've seen is a pair of trucks wearing barracuda, flying UN flags, with manned cupolas/gun-rings, being overflown by a MD530. Any more pics/information would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Bundeswehr has some Eagle IV in Mali. Next to them, we have Dingo 2 and Fennek down there.

Correction for the captions.
The first pic shows an Eagle V not IV.

Thanks for the correction H.H. I'm no expert and I had taken it for granted...
Here's another one :

Thanks guys! Turns out the original pic was of a pair of Swedish RG-32(M)!
Still, I prefer the Eagle IV & have a 1/72 kit of it.

Would be great see Eagle IV and V in styrene someday. Of course a RG-32 Galten in styrene would be cool, too.

may be useful for a MINUSMA Fennek.
