Leopard 2A4 or 6s. Probably Danes
Both have 2A4s and 6s but the Camouflage is different, the Canadians also have some bar armor and I believe they now have the L55 gun in country.
More "beefy" platforms headed for Afghanistan

The armour look like German-made Leopards, which to my knowledge are deployed by only two ISAF nations in Afghanistan: the Canadians (in Kandahar) and the Danes (in Helmand).
Can anyone confirm what they are? I'm not familiar with the Stryker profile.
Apparently the French are also sending their Caesar wheeled 155mm howitzers http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/hta.../20090712.aspx
... whilst the Dutch are deploying their "panzer howitzers" (actually German made PzH2000) http://www.eucom.mil/english/FullSto...4C8D701CF85%7D
