What are these acronyms?
-
Eh, if ppl actually took notice of that there are actually some acronyms on SCDF vehicles. Some of them are PL, SRT, LF (or LFV), PDV, SDV.
SO far, i have only inferred that LF (or LVF) seen on Reh Rhinos stands for Light Fire Vehicle. Also, PDV n SDV probably are decontamination vehicles ...
SO, are are the rest?? DOes anyone knows
