French OOB Work in Progres

Job almost done

Now just a little problem : don't know how to attach a file

Unit 902 is the Mirage 2000-5 version wich has the 2 DEFA 30 mm internal guns. The 2000C has them too but is not in the OOB. I suppose it's considered an air to air version and anyway you can't put all the version with all the possible loadouts for obvious reasons. The 2000D and N don't have any internal gun but could be equiped with gun pods.

The nightmare is close to the end but i have a little problem with some "exotic" stuff like :

FELIN (almost 30/35 k already fielded)
PAPOP (kind of french OICW with 35 mm GL)
http://le.cos.free.fr/felin.htm
EBRC (replacement for the AMX10RC)
PVP (replacement for VBL, P4)
Leclerc, VBL and VAB AZUR (Urban warfare kits)

I was surprised by this. I didn't suspect that some famas-felin were already fielded, but here is some evidence.

The first soldier is wearing an US helmet and a famas that looks like a felin one.

Totally off-topic - are the French Army allowed to grow beards?

[loktarr]

No, not usually. But this soldier is probably from 1st or 3rd RPIMa
(1st/3rd Marines Paratrooper Regiment), which are considered SOC (Special Operation Capable) and are in the French Army quite allowed to do whatever they want. Including the beard, use of foreign weapons (M4, G36...) and of foreign equipment.
Other elite regiment like the REP (Foreign Legion Paratroops) and RIMa (Marines) don't have, as far as I know such allowance.
