Please add the Czech Hanomag, or some old left-over US Halftracks for the insurgents so my 3-5 buddies will cease their laughing at me for mis-identifying a BMP's rear as a SdKfz 251
Tons of left-over **** in those countries. Hell, the Croats still use Yugoslav export M36 Jacksons. Also, M18 Hellcats were used in the Yugoslavian civil wars during the 1990s according to my sources.
No I think his point is that such things do exist and still are used by some really crappy armies. If he can back his words with reliable information, then I dont really see why we cant add some extra stuff to the insurgents, who already are supposed to be an assymetrical force. Dont flaunt the "this is a REALITY mod" trump card before doing some research of your own, btw.

The REALITY of it is that the Russians did recieve US half-tracks of various types, as well as the captured German examples of the 251, as well as the Czhech "Hanomag" which is a 251 copy, and probably funneled them to these countries as aid during the Cold War. The Reds handed out BMPs and T-62's, why not some re-painted US/German Halftracks?
I think some other middle eastern countries used them.
If not Half-tracks, then how about Bren carriers? Those were used en masse by Russia, who loved them. They even built them in-house for a while. Slap an RPK in the machine gun port and voila.
