A couple of miscellaneous ones...note the Saracen APC is not a real British police vehicle, hence the reason I didn't include it with the police photos, but in a T2K World who knows? (it was actually used by protestors as part of an anti G20 protest in London a couple of years ago)

Also posted to the RV thread. Think that these might be encountered by your PCs?
I really like the Soviet Army truck decked out as a camper. I could see that being employed by the Commander of a Soviet Division, driven by his "War Wife" who happens to be a distractingly pretty NKVD Officer, with Olympic level gymnastic capabilties. She goes out of her way to keep her man happy, and focused on being a good Socialist.

The "uniform" worn by the first guy, is not a valid/real uniform, he's a poser. Likely to see more of that Post Apoc. Yes, I'm a Green Beret Major (in reality he's a Supply Sgt, or never served.)
Also a couple of CULT and/or Hippie groups. Not sure they would really exist, but interesting additions. What do you do if your PC group knows that the pacifist hippie group that 'adopts' children and supplies you with food stuff, is in the way of a band of maruaders/cannibals?

Might easily translate into PCs and situations for T2K game. I'd drafted but never played out a 'recovery mission' were characters were to go into a hot zone that was formerly a major port to recover military assets on the pier when the port was nuked. Might change that a little after reading this article. Some areas might be a relatively peaceful and uncontaminated 'oasis' protected by prevailing winds, moutains...

If you're not familiar with this site, it's a treasure trove of military-themed photos from pretty much every armed conflict ever photographed.
These seem particularly relevant to T2k:
General Cold War (all participants)
https://www.militaryimages.net/threads/the-cold-war.8021/
Soviet-Afghan War
https://www.militaryimages.net/threads/soviet-afghan-war-1979-1989.5671/
As a side note, I find the pics in the above forum to be amazingly humanizing. Those SSR boys posing for snapshots look so much like our American boys over in Vietnam did.
Chechen Wars
https://www.militaryimages.net/threads/chechen-wars.7428/
Post-Soviet Conflicts
This one's relatively new, so has fewer pics, but it's been updated fairly recently so hopefully there will be more soon.

Game wise this could be found in Texas once Division Cuba arrives to explain the 23mm AA and the local Texas phone number.
