martylee Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Inspired and not wanting to hijack Catweazles navy thread I thought I'd post a few photos from the armed forces day in june. This event arranged in Hamar, which is not a very big place, with only 30 000 inhabitants, was very good. The army put off a very good show, but how could they not with all of those fantastic toys. They served inexpensive food from M-1937s, ran shuttle with BV206s, gave free rides in boats, free facial camoflage paints for children, several different demonstration. And you could enter al vehicles and they told you how the machines worked. Unfortunately no historic MVS, well the SeaKing is from 1972...

The vehicle you're thinking of is the Hagglund/ Bofors CV 9030N. Powered by a Scania DS12 Turbo diesel 610 hp. Dates back to 1993-98. Norwegian army has about a 100 of these. Armed with a 30 mm cannon and two MG3s. Total 26 tons. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martylee Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 This sure looks like something the Germans left behind in 1945! Yes, it sure does. This is the Rheinmetal MG3, which is a later version of the infamous mg42 that we all know. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MG3 Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martylee Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 (edited) Interesting Marty,i like the floaty thing. This floaty thing does 60 km/h on water and stops from that speed in a couple of meters. Really awsome to ride in. They took everyone that wante for a ride on the lake of Mjosa. They also put on a show coming in toward land real fast firing their guns as well as some flares.
