China formally kicked off its mass celebrations of 60 years of communist rule with a 60-gun salute that rung out across Beijing's historic Tiananmen Square earlier today. Hundreds of thousands of participants marched past Tiananmen Square in costume or uniform, with floats and dancers mingling with soldiers and military hardware. Collected here are photographs of the once-in-a-decade National Day parade in Beijing, and of others commemorating the anniversary elsewhere

I know, but it doesn't fit.
It doesn't have to be dirty green but a lighter green color with white could do

Last picture is pretty awesome.

APCs can be whatever color they want, once they are used in conflict they are painted according to the region they are being used in. Like our stuff in Iraq/Afghanistan, it's normally green here.. painted before being sent there.

they are painted in water camo for amphibious assault purposes. also all the navy equipments are painted in blue/white camo.

i like the digital camo pattern they used for tanks and other vehicles.
