Here's a Weird Picture
A US vehicle -- with a DShK mounted on it!

A couple of possible idiot questions from me.
1. How do you know that that is a US vehicle? I'm not saying that it isn't, I'm just interested to know how you know for certain. 2. Could the photo be the result of some clever photoshop? The two MG's look like they'd get in the way of each other to me. |

It's an Iraqi Army Humvee.

Sorry -- saw the helmet and jumped to conclusions (or more like leaped headlong into conclusions).

The other machinegun is a PKM variant.
I also found it interesting that the cupola had rear-vision mirrors on its side - a simple and easy way to allow some awareness of the environment to the rear of the cupola. Eddie, do you know if that camouflage on the uniform is unique to the Iraqi forces or is it adopted from another nation? It doesn't look like any of the patterns that the other coalition forces wear from what I can tell (but my knowledge is rather limited to the few photos I've seen in the media) |

What's up with the camouflage pattern on the uniform, too? Looks a little like British desert DPM, but not quite right.
The LMG looks like some member of the PK family as well. |

Sorry HorseSoldier, I beat you to the questions by a mere half minute or so!
