Thanks for the pics. I notice the Georgians are wearing American "digital" pattern summer cammies.

I don't care what anyone says, those things do NOT make you less visible to electronic imaging.

On a side note, some of these pics could find a home in the humorous photo captions thread, I think.

I don't think either of them are BRDM's , too big for one thing - I'd say the top ones a BTR-80 going by the hatches and the turret the guys are sitting on (The guy waving is hanging onto the 14.5) - the bottom one I would guess is a BTR-80 as a Comms or HQ type looking at that antennae at the front

Damn. My trick question didn't work.
They are BTRs but I don't know if they are 60's or 80's. Also, the wheel configuration in that one photo is a dead giveaway, clearly not a 4 wheel vehicle.
And no superstructure to speak of.

Here's your mad props;

Well, some of them certainly had a sense of humour.

I hope they realize that we only give uniforms and equipment that we can track electronically to foreign troops.
