I have already spoken here on occasion about the excellent COMCAM (combat cameras) that some NATO armies have.<\/p>\n

One of those photographers that I have already mentioned on several occasions is the Latvian Gatis Indr\u0113vics, whose works can be seen at his Instagram account<\/a> and also on the Flickr account of the Latvian Army<\/a>, to which I have subscribed for years and which publishes very good images of the Spanish military contingent deployed in Latvia.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Precisely the Latvian Army Flickr account published this morning an excellent series of photos of the exercise CAT 24<\/a>, a tank competition of the NATO eFP Battlegroup Latvia held on May 3 and in which armored vehicles from the armies of Germany, Canada, Spain, Italy, Norway, Poland and United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In this series of photos, taken at the maneuvering field of the Adazi military base<\/strong> (where the Spanish contingent and the rest of the aforementioned NATO unit are deployed), we can see the Leopard 2E 134 firing with its 120 mm Rheinmetall L\/55 main gun<\/strong>, protected in a defilade position, that is, leaving only the upper part of the tank exposed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You can see below photos of tanks from other armies in this exercise<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A Canadian Army Leopard 2A4M CAN<\/strong>, an improved local version of the Leopard 2A4 CAN, with additional modular armor added.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A Polish Army PT-91 Twardy<\/strong>, an improved Polish version of the Soviet T-72.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A Leopard 2A4NO of the Norwegian Army<\/strong>. That country has already decided to replace these tanks with a more modern version, the Leopard 2A8 NOR.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A Challenger 2 of the British Army<\/strong>. We can see the additional protection that it has on its skirt.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A Leopard 2A7V of the German Army.<\/strong> It is the most modern version of this famous tank, awaiting the arrival of the Leopard 2A8.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
