I saw this on a Washington Post article about the current issues in Myanmar. Not concerned with the politics but I thought this was a rather eclectic mix of military vehicles:
Is that a Ferret in the foreground? Looks like some old hardware. I'm no expert in identification but looks like a carrier of sorts in the background and the tank looks WW2 vintage but I'm not sure. Can anyone identify the various vehicles? Thanks! |

I see Dingos, Ferrets, Comets, Brens … not sure what the tree turreted ACs are in the second row. |

Are they Humbers WW2 vintage? |
| John Armatys | 27 Mar 2021 1:09 p.m. PST |
I think that the three between the Dingos and the Universal Carriers are Humber armoured cars. |

Holy cow! WWII on parade. |

I'm guessing its a museum type parade of the old British kit. Wikipedia doesn't list those vehicles as military equipment for their armed forces. |

They're in good nick, aren't they…? DBDD |

What's with the whitewall tires? They look cool on a '57 Chevy, but look ridiculous on military vehicles. It would appear to be an Asian country thing (Norks, China, Myanmar), except Russia utilizes them too, or used to. |

There was a clip of the parade on the BBC news today, it showed in passing the Comet and a Humber. They appeared to have signs on the side, much like a museum exhibit. I assumed that's what they were. A shame, as the idea of someone still using Comets is rather appealing…. |
