I think it will be interesting for you. I send you some pictures of Georgian armoured and not armoured vehicles. These pictures were taken on November 10 It was Georgian Police Day. All vehicles are from different departments of Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Georgia. No one is from Ministry of Defence. Maybe you will use some of them for your Home Page.
