UK MILITARY VEHICLES Photos - PATHFINDER WMIK

WMIK land rovers from the elite Pathfinder Platoon, layed up and preparing for operations along the Iran / Iraq border during Operation Telic, 2003. Much like SAS desert patrols, these Pathfinder WMIKs are loaded with some serious firepower. Both commander stations are fitted with GPMGs. The rear weapon stations can tote .50 HMGs, 40mm grenade launchers or additional GPMGs. Note that both WMIKs are carrying 84mm ILAW rocket launchers within easy reach. If you're wondering what the metallic grills fixed to the spare tires are, they are IR reflectors designed to identify the wagons as friendly forces.
