it is getting slowly but steadily replacing the old camouflage (tbh never liked it, it was just us and the Israelis who used it)

With Camo change... I"m waiting to change that Vintage "National Rifle", that is becoming a liability for our Army Modernisation.

I think the Steyr AUG would be replaced soon enough by the M4 that became the standard rifle for all special forces (although the FAMAS, SCAR, P90, and many others are equally used)
still, it would be nice if we can upgrade the Steyr AUG like the Australians did.

No more steyr alike... That thing should be banned for any "National Rifle", can be used for some op/division but that's it.
There is many options available, cheap or not, with even some sort of "Licensing/ToT" whatever it's the CZ series, or MPT ones. But other more pricey option exist, Scars/ARX series... or the Graal: HK416 (not gonna be possible, but Hey, dream is free.)

I like the Styer AUG. I'm not a big fan of the bullpup design but that rifle has some power to it. And it's newer than the AK that many armies are using so.

What's the anti-tank that fellow is holding, any idea?

I'll put my money on a M3 Carl Gustave.

I think you're right, looks just like it even though Tunisia is not listed as an operator on its Wiki page.

our GIP troops are already using the cz evo scorpion evo 3

as for the last part, there are some rumours, that the army's eyes are on the Rafale and Typhoon
they basically want a fighter that can serve well for the next 30 years or so regardless of price so why the hell not xD

probably the Carl Gustaf good friend, it is mainly used by the SF though
but regular troops might have got it too
(it appeared in an old visit to the SF headquarters)

there are some news that the Javelin is also used by army's special forces.

The USGN ambushed ISIS related terrorists in the mountains of Kasserine
at least one terrorist is killed and others captured for the moment, it is possible that the number of casualties is higher.
the operation took place in Salloum mountain

For CZ, I was thinking something more like CZ 805 BREN series.
As for the fighter jet, I will prefer, if only it's possible, the Rafale.

But as any big tickets order, like fighter jets, the Loan conditions WILL/COULD be the main decision point. Since most of Western jets are "capable" and will last with Updates in the coming decades.
You take also into consideration, the geopolitical ties btw France and Tunisia, the Rafale could be the front runner. or you get some cheaper F-16 from the US.

I personally heard that both Tunisia and Egypt had their eyes on the Rafale since 2014 and 2013
Egypt got it and we still have no idea about our army
so far the point is acquiring a fighter jet that they don't have to replace after 10 years or so
might be an F16 block 52+ or 70 or so as well

F-16 latest version are not that cheap either.
So better put some more € in it and get some Rafales.

But with current TN economy..;I don't think Jets are that needed. at least right now.
We can wait before buying, no need to hurry. There Is no threat, justifying the purchase.
or get few refurbished F-16 as stop gap for now till, the economy is better on track.

fingers crossed
the last minister of defense said that there will be a decision by 2020
so let's hope for the best by then
