  • I know someone out there with the advance party, settling in well and getting things up and running for the next chalk arriving in the future. Only complaint so far was it was a tad on the warm side over there.

      • Gear should be passing Malta about now. If it were being carried by the NS, it would mean stopover in Valetta.

          Blowing up a EOD truck has a lot more brownie points to blowing up a generic truck.

            Your missing the point.. a bit of high-vis on the front will not make a damn bit of difference if its targeted or not.

            • But it will lead to it being picked out and targeted.

              Are you going to trigger your bomb as EOD truck goes by or generic stores truck goes by?

                  The EOD truck was purchased and fitted out with EOD in mind, so it can carry all the equipment properly and safely.

                    • If only that were true RGJ! There's 48 on a roll of honour that would suggest otherwise, many of whom were targetted by the IDF, SLA, Hezbollah..........etc. etc.

                        This forum is for relevant issues regarding the Defence Forces deploying overseas (ie outside Irish Territory and Territorial Waters)


                        Recent events disagree with you.

                          that is over a hell of a long time when situations were much worse than they are now.

                          the US Army lost nearly 250 men in one day there and the French lost over 50 men in the same attack - you have to put things into perspective here.

                          hardly 'recent events' and hardly getting whacked on a daily basis.

                          yes it's dangerous but lets not big it up so much that people are worried about a bit of hi-vis paint on an APC.

                          • EOD Duros are armoured. Would they not send them if there was a threat of special treatment?

                              Not an APC.
