1. Operation Telic VIII - The British Army in Iraq
Carl Schulze continues his enthralling look at troops in Iraq, and
this time the spotlight falls on the British Army. "Operation
Telic" is the British designation for operations in Iraq, and a
full thirty pages are dedicated to Telic's eighth rotation. The
whole gamut of British Army hardware is on display, including Land
Rovers, DURO trucks, Cobra truck-mounted radar, Saxons, Warriors,
Scimitars, Challenger 2 tanks, and even a range of helicopters.
Their operators are also well covered, and photos reveal
interesting uniform and weapon details. For a detailed look at
Brits in Iraq, this article fits the bill!

Kandahar. There is good coverage of the LAV family, with Bisons.,
Coyotes and LAV IIIs all captured in high-quality photos. Infantry
equipment and other vehicles are all present too.

different helicopters.
