2005 edition of EXPOMIL

I just want to remember to the interested people that the 2005 edition of EXPOMIL will be opened from 20th till 23rd of October. I think this event worth a tour.

I know the thread. I just not wanted to add smileys!

I have been to expomil in the first day using an invitation from the internet; I wanted to avoid the Sunday agglomeration, when the show is opened for every body that pays.
Nothing different since the last time.

But some funny additions:
- MLVM (armored fighting vehicle of the mountain troops) it look’s like an WWII Russian tank with an new turret;
- the Romanien made “bullpup” in fact an modified AKM made by Cugir that looked like it was made in an garage, not an arms factory;
- The heavy 14,5mm Russian machine gun made by Cugir but with a huge trolley (similar to the Russian WWI Maxim) with wheels and a heavy and also big shield. I don’t see it’s use on the battle field especially in attack;
- In general the Romanian craftsmanship of all the things weapons, APC and trucks (ROMAN)

What I liked:
- The Glock that is going to be produced at Cugir.
- The TR-850 M1 and Gerard AA system looked good.
- The MG-3 and the “Panther” field gun brought by the Turks.

I've been to EXPOMIL myself yesterday and got some pictures:



inside the above APC:


yours truly, with an RPG

behind an artilery piece

a nice "Glock" poster :


inside a medical APC:

the "round the corner weapon"
(actually, was a bit of a dissapointment, It's not "bend" a rifle (as the WW2 Stg44 with curved barrel attachment), but more some sort of "arm" with a simple pistol attached at it's end .


Got any Roaches?

Remote controlled bots:

A man's best friend

A fire truck - something funny happened with this one - I climbed in the cabin with my cousin and she accidentally starded the siren ( )

on the fire truck:

"I can see you!... "

The MLVM looks good in this picture, even I like it, but in reality is different.

what do you mean is different?

In the picture you don’t see: the ridicule wheels with spokes (galeti), the lacquer paint job, the thin armor, the very thin tracks and I think it is a useless the Romanian army already has the MLI witch is only a bit bigger and the TAB’s with 2 and 4 axels.
