mike962 ◊ 2014-04-22 20:27	Dominican republic or Italy , my bet is the former to stand in for Cuba http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071562/locations?ref_=tt_dt_dt -- Last edit: 2014-04-22 20:27:52
andrepa ◊ 2014-04-22 20:30	as i found AMX-13 was used in dominican Republic, Mexico etc. but the GAZ 67 seems to stand for Cuba as mike says -- Last edit: 2014-04-22 20:33:25
mike962 ◊ 2014-04-22 20:32	it's not an AMX-13, it has too many wheels to be that tank

andrepa ◊ 2014-04-22 20:49	acording to wiki L-60L would be correct, as Twenty were sold to the Dominican Republic army in 1956, having been refurbished and designated L/60L 12 of them left after civil war 1965 stayed in service until 2002! -- Last edit: 2014-04-22 21:14:38
