Watercannon? - No
Riot control truck? - No
European? - Yes  (but there was some North American input/components in the design)

A few more views;  new & shiny; in need of care; with an interesting paint job; recently on the road.

Nein!  Those two vehicles were solely in Bundeswehr service and the current challenge is not German.  It is, however, from a nearby country which used a 'similar' designation for the vehicle.

More like a couple of years/couple of hundred pages ago.

The flaps over the headlights seem to be some sort of poor man's version of blackout driving lights. When they are closed the light would come through the holes drilled in the flaps.

If you go to my previous post in this thread, there are sufficient clues (in both my response and 'highlighted' in the quote) to find the name.

Search and you shall find.  You don't even have to leave this page to enter the search term.

No.  You already used that a few posts ago, only then you repeated the "official" designation used by the BW.

As this is dragging on, here's my final pic of this vehicle.

Close, I knew if I left the pic with the name "Rocket City" somebody would guess Khost.  It is not the Khost strip, but you can almost see Khost from here.
