In its January issue of Assaut Magazine Yves Debay grants us with extraordinary photos of Libyan pearls. Every military hardware aficionado would live it as a revelation the fact of turning the pages of the article dedicated to the vehicles found by Debay in Misratah. With each page bringing surprises, the only wish is the publication of a special issue on the vehicles in Libya.

In this Issue can be found in Libya vehicles not only the now usual T-72, T-62, T-55 tanks and other BMP-1 and Palmarias but also EE-9 Cascavel, MT-LB and a BTR-60 with MRLS, the surprises being EE-11 Urutu, Steyr 4K FA G 127, SK 105 Kurassier, Ferret and most inetersting modified M113 SPGs supporting D-30 122mm guns.

Here are some sample pages of the article:

Someone can’t talk or look at about Arab Revolutions military vehicles without thinking about Yves Debay works. This man, one of the most famous war photographer of our time, is always ready for new challenges on the first lines of today’s conflicts. After having granted us with outstanding photos from the Georgian conflict in 2008, here he is, back on the front, on three of the latest Arab Revolutions scenery: Tunisia, Egypt and Libya.

His newest coverage wasn’t as easy as a touristic trip, Debay being shot at and wounded in Egypt and having some bad times in Libya. The results are a bunch of gorgeous photos published in three must have issues of his French magazine ASSAUT. Everybody knows that these photos are the emerging part of an iceberg of photos hopefully to be published on day in dedicated books.

The three photo reports cover a quantity of vehicles such as M1 Abrams, M60s, t-72s, T-55, M113s, SK-105s, technicals and other…
