Australian Military pics

[Aussie Digger]

The Small arms thread has inspired me. I'm going to find some cool pics of Australian Military pics and put them here. First up are some pics of the Australian SASR on operations in Iraq and Afganistan. There's also a pict of a 2nd Cavalry Regiment ASLAV (Australian LAV-25) in Iraq. More to follow. Cheers.

Here are Australia's first "regular army" Javelin Anti-Armour Missile instructors training on Australia's new Javelin Missile system. This system has been chosen to provide a new anti-tank and anti-bunker missile system for Australia.

What life in the Infantry is really like, lots of walking around carrying heavy packs...

if you stuck an engine and a pair of wings on that digger port/front he could double as a forward air controller... He's a little tall....

I wonder if he gets stuck carrying the gun very much... (Little infantry joke there. The bigger soldiers have to carry the bigger guns...)

Here's some more Australian SASR HALO jumps. Unfortunately these were the biggest pics I could find. These pics are from the early - to mid 80's though.

Here's a nice pic of a new Australian Hawk Mk 127. Note the 30mm cannon gun pod on the centre pylon. I wasn't aware that Australia had actually obtained these...
