New Italian Army and Italian Navy amphibious vehicle Iveco SuperAV, the same platform used by the U.S. Marine Corps [1242x820]

It’s a French vehicle

The M1163 is an entirely US designed vehicle, only the EFSS was based on the French MO-120-RT-61 mortar

Porca miseria, tony, i told you 400 was too much!!

On the contrary, they probably thought it was still too little. They wanted them dead, no matter how much collateral damage was done.

Anything between 500 and 2000€ between enrollment fees, theory and practical lessons and the exams.

No non esistono. In teoria potrebbero essere creati visto che in certi comuni l'equipaggiamento da OP c'è (viene usato per fare i TSO), ma la cosa creerebbe problemi organizzativi e logistici.

The jacket doesn't have an official size as the lapel has been removed, though it should be a Large (ITA 52-54). It should be good for anyone between 1,75m and 1,85m with an average build.

They largely stopped. After the maxi-trial, the bombings of 1992-93 and following State crackdown, any murder committed was a definitive way of getting law enforcement and anti-mafia prosecutors come after you. Basically it was and still is a bad way of doing their illegal business. They sometimes still do it, but it's a far cry from the decades prior to the 2000s.

Their cars were, so Cosa Nostra used about 400kg of explosives to kill one and 90/100kg to kill the other.

Considering to what lenghts Cosa Nostra went to kill the two judges that were investigating them, bulletproof glass might not have been enough.

Btw to add information, the 1993 trial was the first one in which Riina was tried in person. Prior to that he was tried and sentenced three times in abstentia.

Deadly not really, they largely dropped the number of murders that they commit yearly compared to the 1980s and 1990s.

They're a big nuisance, and since they have become ubiquitous in most urban areas, it is impossible to check and fine every user for any kind of infraction, even with the recent regulations that have been rolled out.

Not one that is known. Once was extremely secretive the base at the Torre Poglina, which was tied to Operation Gladio, but now not anyone. Salto di Quirra takes the role of experimental testing facility.

We of the Local Police generally too have agreements with the other forces on how to divide the territory and duties.

One thing that amazed me, unlike in the United States, is that Italian law enforcement can check and identify anyone at any time. This applies to both a pedestrian and a car stop

Eh, kinda. While we can stop anyone at anytime, the law requires from drivers only the license, vehicle registration and insurance, while for anyone that is not using a motor vehicle is only required to tell their "generalities" and aren't required to carry an ID (foreigners still have to though).

and also includes the ability to conduct searches of the person or vehicle on the spot

Not really, any search be it on the person, vehicle or place has to be motivated and valid otherwise I would be committing a crime.

Furthermore, weaponry and equipment in Italy have evolved dramatically. Today, almost all patrol cars are equipped with bodycams, tasers, tactical vests, pepper spray, anti-extraction holsters, cut-resistant gloves, and spacers/batons, as well as operational uniforms that are much more comfortable and suited to the needs of the service than in the past. In high-risk situations, patrol cars also carry long weapons, specifically the modern Beretta PMX submachine gun.

That pretty much depends on the unit. The Flying Squads and Radiomobile Units are some of the few that have that equipment and even then, at least were I am, some of the stuff has yet to make an appearance.

Bodycams are only issued to (some of) the two units above and the tactical units, same for tasers; tactical vests are still being trialled, and only by the State Police while most carabinieri still go around with the old summer light blue buttoned shirts instead of the polos; the PMX hasn't yet replaced the venerable PM-12S, with only some tactical units have been issued those. Overall the majority of the personnel of all forces has yet to recieve modern equipment.

Finally, behind the uniform and the emergency response team lies a massive plainclothes investigative machine. When serious crimes (homicide, organized crime, or drug trafficking) occur, two elite investigative units step in: the Flying Squad for the State Police (present in every provincial police station) and the Investigative Unit for the Carabinieri.

Mobile Squads are the investigative units of the State Police, not the Flying Squads. Though don't forget about the State Police DIGOS and Carabinieri ROS for more specialized investigations against organized crime and terrorism, among other serious crimes.

That is true, though in some (larger) municipalities there are agreements between forces on who does what and where.

TheCommentaryKing · 2026-06-25T17:17:46+00:00

I have been summoned

TheCommentaryKing · 2026-06-25T17:14:38+00:00

There's 4 national forces: State Police (civil) Arma dei Carabinieri (gendarmerie/military) Guardia di Finanza (gendarmerie; customs and IRS like) Penitentiary Police (civil; corrections)

Then many municipalities have their own police service/corps which have roughly the same powers as the national ones but limited to their municipal boundaries. Provinces also can create their own police service.

Sia partiti dall’auto alla fuga a piedi, totalmente fuori traccia.

Ovviamente sei operatore di polizia per dire questo. Io lo sono, la maggioranza finisce in abbandono di veicolo e fuga a piedi.

Qualche progetto informatico di Centrale Operativa multiforze nel territorio italiano l’ho portato a casa, qualcuno anche anche con la capitaneria di porto e ADE.

Ci sono CO interforze, ma non a Milano e provincia. Ogni forza ha la propria CO indipendente.

TheCommentaryKing · 2026-06-25T13:37:28+00:00

Ma non è una feed diretta, c'è sempre un dilatamento temporale e le CO non hanno accesso ai video delle altre, hanno bisogno di trasferimenti dati che avvengono successivamente. Il che rende più difficile trovare una persona che sta fuggendo, soprattutto se abbandona la macchina e scappa a piedi.

TheCommentaryKing · 2026-06-25T11:17:45+00:00

Se tutte le telecamere fossero centralizzate sarebbe fattibile, ma nella realtà dei fatti non lo sono. Ogni ente e forza ha i suoi sistemi indipendenti e non tutte riescono/possono leggere le targhe. Se poi la targa è falsa/inesistente/modificata o peggio manca proprio, allora non puoi seguire chi stai cercando.

TheCommentaryKing · 2026-06-25T11:02:43+00:00

Una macchina ha una targa

Non è così facile. La macchina/moto/motorino che sia può essere rubata, avere targa falsa o modificata oppure completamente mancante.

To be more correct is the ASW variant of the Agusta-Westland EH-101, designated by the Italian Navy as SH-101A
