Peruvian hinds were bought since
1984,based at Vitor Air Base, proved to be a ferocious enemy in COIN actions
(against Shining Path and MRTA) and tactical support (Cenepa conflict).
These Hinds are really
impressive, the "sharkmouth" always cause the same reaction....
I dedicate this work to my little
nephews Daniel
and Andres.
