first ones that popped into my mind
Here are our combat-ready choppers.

(the version used in the vietnam war)
Here are our backup choppers

Here are our top-of-the-line skyhawk jets

(After being mothballed and sold off)
And here are our tanks.

(the only thing that could conceivably be called "modern")
New Zealand. Where the goddamn livestock have more military power.
"hey guys we need a new assault truck, what do you think?"
"Lets get rid of the doors and the roof, add some more wheels and a fuckload of guns."

We pretty much use the Mowag for a lot of roles, there are around 5 or 6 variants in use at the moment, I've only seen 3 though. Those Jeeps are relatively recent too, they are South African.
Soviet made 2S1 bought from east-germany into finnish army. I was a driver of one of these when i was in the army.

136 (complete waste of money) of Svarun 8×8 (equippted with either a 40mm grenade launcher and 12.7mm machine gun OR just the 12.7mm machine gun)
[t]http://www.slovenskavojska.si/typo3temp/pics/s_9b4a35f3ab.jpg[/t]
And a bunch of standard 4x4 Hummer vehicles and 6x6 Valuk vehicles.
We do not have a single jet fighter, but we have a few of these (:v:) :

We also lack of any combat helicopters, only transport, so I won't list them.

Im a technical consultant working with the G4 on a daily basis, and oh boy do I look forward to the G5.
this counts as a vehicle right
it has an engine
[img]http://www.armedforces-int.com/upload/image_files/Army-Field-Kitchens-and-Military-Cooking-Stations.jpg[/img]
the FK2000, also lovingly called "heckler & koch fuckin' kitchen 2000"
as I was a cook during my conscription I got very familiar with this lovable piece of shit
the main design attractions include a diesel burner for heating your food, with the thought of wartime diesel scarcity never crossing the designers mind
it can also [I]theoretically [/I] be heated by burning wood but every field test has ended with a burned husk of a mobile kitchen (lovingly called Inferno 2000) and a group of very frightened conscripts
other features include an axle that will break under any bump higher than two centimeters, an engine loud enough to trip over-the-horizon anti-ICBM radar arrays at Moscow and nonexistent fuel preheating sure to make it the favorite of any Finnish conscript who is frantically trying to make morning porridge for a group of generals
also it leaks diesel everywhere so you better hope your colonel likes his mashed potatoes smelling like they came from the next middle-eastern country "harboring" WMDs
it does have three plugs though so you can charge your smartphones while masturbating into 300 liters of pea soup waiting to be served to a couple hundred of your hungry countrymen
Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank.
[QUOTE]The Challenger 2 (CR2) is the British Army's battle proven main battle tank, it replaced the Challenger 1 that served with distinction on operations in the Gulf War and the Balkans. 227 out of 407 Challenger 2 tanks remain in operational service, the rest have been placed in storage. Despite many years of hard fighting in urban combat, not one tank or crewman has ever been lost to enemy fire and is reputed to have the toughest armour of any MBT in the world.[/QUOTE]

Westland Lynx AH7
[QUOTE]The Westland Lynx is a battlefield utility helicopter although it has been used for both anti–tank and reconnaissance operations. The addition of door gunners has allowed Lynx to operate in the very close air support role. The AH7 aircraft are going to be replaced by 34 Wildcat. The AH9s have been upgraded to AH9A standard. The Lynx is renowned for its agility and versatility in almost any role while also being the fastest service helicopter in the world.[/QUOTE]

It may look like shit to you, but if you've ever been in Army Rovers they're usually beat to fuck and in dire need of replacement. That and I believe the replacements can haul even more kit.
