@Tanelorn is that unmarked jet in dark desert/brown foliage camo near the upper right-hand corner of your big Modern Compilation you did - last summer, I think - a BAC Strikemaster? It loos like one, from the Wikipedia pictures, and it's completely unmarked, and I don't THINK you otherwise have a recent Strikemaster. I'm pretty much guessing here.
 

@Patine Easy conversion from the dragonfly:

The AMX-10 RC first appeared in the late 1970s to replace the Panhard EBR. It does share some parts with the AMX 10P, but are otherwise totally different. The AMX 10 RCs entered service in 1979 and in 2000, the RCs were upgraded to the Renové (RCR) standard, and are expected to remain in service until 2020-2025, at which point they should be replaced by the EBRC Jaguar. Over 240 are in service in the French Army.
Morocco ordered 108 AMX-10 RCs as soon as 1978. The vehicles supplied to them were AMX-10 RC surblindé (uparmored) : fitted with add-on armor and without amphibious capability.
Qatar also ordered 12 AMX-10 RCs. The vehicles were delivered in 1994 from French Army stocks.
The AMX 10 RCs first participated in the 1983-84 military intervention in Chad, codenamed Operation Manta.
Some vehicle have apparently also been involved in the UN operations in Kosovo.
After upgrading, the RCR first saw action in the Ivory Coast in 2006, with the French Foreign Legion, as part of the UN peacekeeping operation there.
Two platoons of AMX-10 RCRs have also been in action in Afghanistan, in the Suroba and Kapisa regions.
Two squadrons and one platoon of RCRs were also deployed in Mali during the French intervention there, as part of Operation Serval.
Probably the most important operation of the AMX 10 RCs was during Operation Desert Storm. Prior to the actual fighting, however, the vehicles received some upgrades.
The 96 AMX-10 RCs were the most numerically important armored component of the 6th Light Armored Division. The division covered the left flank of the invasion force, protecting the Coalition forces against an enemy counter-attack. During the attack, also named Operation Daguet, the French forces clashed with the Iraqi 45th Infantry Division, which was defeated. The French also captured the As-Salman airfield. Almost 3000 Iraqis were captured, with twenty enemy tanks being destroyed and two captured. Multiple other light vehicles and artillery pieces were destroyed or captured. The French didn’t lose a single vehicle, and no losses were suffered due to enemy action.
@Thorvald of Lym ,@typhoon353 Thanks guys!

The Gepard is made of a Leopard 1 tank chassis onto which two 35mm Oerlikon KDA cannons and a pair of 15Km search and tracking radars are added. These are capable of destroying low flying objects at short ranges, up to 5.5km away. This modern weapon can be also used for defensive tasks. It is capable of destroying ground targets, especially armoured ones. It is devastatingly accurate when shooting at slower armoured objects. Each vehicle cost about three times the price of a normal Leopard 1. 420 served in the bundeswehr from 1973 (1971 if you count pre-production models) and has slowly been retired since 2010 as its intended replacement is facing serious delays...
Brazil: 36 vehicles, still in operation.
Chile: Only 4 ever received after the original order for 30 vehicles was abandoned due to financial issues.
Belgium: Operated 55 vehicles, now withdrawn from service.
Romania: 43 vehicles still in operation.

The Cheetah is the Dutch version of the Gepard. Originally it was called the CA1 but the nickname Cheetah painted on the first operational CA1 stuck. The Dutch version has a more capable and expensive Philips radar suite. It can be identified by its bar type search radar and more pointed tracking radar. Most Cheetahs were upgraded with the ability to fire FAPDS-T rounds. The Netherlands was the second largest user of the Flakpanzer, receiving 95 of the vehicles. In Dutch service, it was originaly renamed Pantser Rups Tegen Luchtdoelen or PRTL. It was often pronounced as ‘Pruttel’ (meaning ‘Sputter’). Most (60) were sold to Jordan in 2013, here in desert camo.

"But doesn't Gepard mean Cheetah?"
"N-No—!"
 


The Japanese took great interest in the Flakpanzer Gepard, so much so that they built their own version on the hull of their Type 74 MBT, designated the Type 87, 87式自走高射機関砲. To avoid patent infringement claims, the arrangement of the sensory equipment was altered.The SPAAG is currently in service with the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF), who operate 52 vehicles. It has a reported radar range of 20 Kilometers. The Type 87 entered service in, of course, 1987. The vehicles were produced by Mitsubishi up until 2002.
@Thorvald of Lym Gatto (gatus, latin cat) pardus (πάρδος, greek spotted)/ Cheetah sanskrit citrakāyah, spotted. Same word, yes.

Yugoslavian BOV 3 4x4 SPAA. The lack of modern fire control system and a small range of the guns of 20 mm limited its efficiency against modern aircraft. Nevertheless, during the war in Croatia, Bosnia, and Kosovo, BOV-3 proved to be the most effective means of neutralizing enemy machine gun nests, snipers and fire points, especially in urban environments. JNA had about 100 BOV-3 in 1991. Currently Serbia has 80 BOV-3, Croatia - 44 BOV-3, Bosnia and Herzegovina 32 BOV-3, Slovenia - 12 BOV-3 (in reserve).

BOV 1, the anti tank version. Also known as POLO, apparently because the missles are wrapped in chicken wire. About 80 M-83 and 12 M-83 alt in Yugo service in 1991. Currently Serbia has 86 BOV-1, Croatia 37 BOV-1, Bosnia and Herzegovina - 32 BOV-1 (?), Montenegro 9 BOV-1.

@Wargamerrr7449 Welcome!

Back in the very early '90's (released for Desert Storm, for ideal marketing, in fact, there was a board game called "A Line in the Sand," by TSR that had a map of the Middle East and units for nations therein, as well as U.S., UK, and French military units, and a generic "UN" units for "Coalition intervention forces", and had scenarios for a Desert Storm, new Arab-Israeli Wars, and the "diplomatic game." I've since come to be dubious of a few elements of military equipment since. One notable thing that comes to mind was that, there were French Tornado air units, as well as UK ones, but nothing I've ever read on the Tornado, or on the French Air Force, indicates the French ever seriously flew them.
 
I seriously need to get off my arse and post the hoarde of units i've made. As soon as i can find my external HD.(my civ machine has no internet)

Though it was never deployed, and probably only ever existed at the training and doctrinal level, I never the less have actually found a model(toy), of a Centurion set up as a SPAAG.
