    It's definitely a norwegian speed camera, and it looks like a typical crappy norwegian road. (I'm norwegian btw.) I know nothing about tanks, so I don't know where it's from. The swedish are harmless so I doubt the invaded us.

    It may be the annual military training event where several countries' military forces (some NATO members) meet up in Norway and do the training together. I don't remember what it's called atm.

    @maedox: Well it's nice to know Norway has crap. Because I'm a quarter norwegian and and I've never had the desire to visit... You know the norwegian gang sign right? You make a W with your hand and shout "Weege up!" haha get it?
    There's also the one where you make an L with your hand (and someone else does too) and you bend your arm while saying "Lutefisk! Lutefisk! Lefsa! Lefsa! Oooooofta!"
    lol
    And yes, I realize how retarded I'm making Norwegians and their halfbreeds sound. But come one, it's mostly true.

    I believe this is in Norway. The tank looks like a Leopard 2A4 which is in use in Norway. In Sweden we have mainly upgraded to our enhanced version of the 2A5, designated Strv 122. On that model the turret looks different due to a wedge shaped add on armour.

    The Swedish speed cameras have a different housing. You can see one here:

    The Norwegian speed cameras seem to have the housing shown in this picture.

    [www.adteknik.se]

    I don't know about the German speed cameras, but it wouldn't make sense to paint them white in a country that usually doesn't have snow that often. Most likely this is far up in Norway where it's snow a lot of the time. They are most likely just on an excercise and positioned for a road block.

    My boyfriend is Norwegian, and he says the photo box is Norwegian, but the tank looks more Swedish. It's definitely Norway though.

    We have a naval supply railroad/road by me, and when they transfer weapons, they escort it with tanks.

    @phunnyballs: In NJ near, Naval Weapons Station Earle and Port Monmouth. There is a train track w/a road(Normandy Drive) that extends from there to a pier that extends almost 1/2 mile into the ocean for loading ships with things like nuclear weapons.

    And NEVER doubt the coolness that is NJ. That's why we have our own magazine, "Weird NJ".

    @eriegz: Actually, there is supposedly a "gravity hill" near me where your car appears to roll uphill, but it's an optical illusion.

    @USB_Humping_Dog: NJ is an awesome place, from the Bada-Bing to the nude beach in Wildwood.

    My favorite is not the pin point accuracy of the bomb, but the fact that the explosion is strong enough to destroy an armor protected tank, but not harm any of the surrounding mud buildings and their occupants. The modern military is just amazing.

    Does it still have CTI? Central Tread Inflation? But yeah, ever since GM had to buy the Hummer name b/c AMGeneral refused to let them use it on their H2(for good reason), they suck. Give me a original Hummer w/6 doors, and that engine you could pour any fuel in and it would run.

    @Git Em SteveDave loves this guy-->: Yeah, I really cannot fault anyone who owns a REAL Hummer. The H2 is nothing more than a gaudy Yukon.


    I don't care what gas mileage your SUV gets, if it's a real SUV and you use it as a real SUV. I was upset when they discontinued the original Hummer.

    The original Humvee would have much more appeal with a setup like this. The H2 is a worthless Tonka toy (saying so at the amusing risk of offending an H2 driver).
