A properly armed Kurdistan

scooter · October 24, 2014, 05:10:13 PM

Ok...so, after reading this article, I had an oddball idea of a properly equipped Peshmerga (Kurdish forces), even though the article is talking about the end of national sovereignty in the Middle East. So I whipped up these two profiles-

Pilatus PC 9 Light COIN/Trainer

and

A G-222/C-27 tactical transport

A larger view of the Roundel-

Feel free to add your own thoughts and ideas

Nice profiles. I think helicopters would be important - gunships and transports. Hips and Hinds? Or Cobras and Black Hawks?

Nice patterns and colours !

The aeros should all be single seaters tho so the crew won't argue which side they're on

Hind-Es and Merlins and Defenders oh my!

Camo and markings by me (Just forgot to put it on the actual profile)

Cobras? Sure, why not-

Broncos? Of course, gotta have a decent observation platform. Refurbed and brought out of the AMARG-

Caravans for when the Spartans can't get in there-

M-1009 CUCV I, because you know the when the National Guard was in Iraq, they probably left a bunch of them over there. (Heck, I know one of our CWOs brought his when the 42d ID deployed 10 years ago)

Great work

Kurdistan Security Service (or Asayish) MD-900. Definitely *not* a black chopper buzzing around, because it'd be too damned hot.

Love the camo Merlins. And the Cobra. Both choppers aren't seen in enough camo !

Also digging the Caravan....

Very nice !

Ubiquitous HiLuxs-

Very popular in the Middle East, so much so most of Toyota's production heads there.

Oh look, a former Coalition M-ATV-

(MRAPs coming at some point)

And because you've got to have artillery support, SA G6 Rhino-

Pathfinder of the Regional Police

Based off this photo-

Nice to see the vehicles as well !

MRAPs (Part 1) and IFVs

Because Ratels really just don't care

MRAPs!

Land Rovers!

I'll have to check out that Ratels...now those look cool ! Beauty job on all of them.

I did two flavors of Medevac Stryker, only because I wasn't quite sure what Kurdistan would be using to mark ambulances- Red Cross or both Red Cross and Crescent

With both Red Cross and Crescent placard

Red Cross placard only
