    I’m just happy the lads are able to get out and stretch their legs. It’s not news but I imagine they can pull off some devious licks with those helmet silhouette thingies they copy from the entity.

    Actually, serious question: bottom right guy has two different sizes of night vision tubes on his helmet there. I’m assuming one is infrared and one is thermal, that’s kinda slick. On his rifle I only see one light – do NVG and gun-knowers want to hazard a guess whether he is running just IR / just white light / there’s another light on the gun I’m not seeing?

    I wonder if they were able to import all that kit or they had to liberate it on the battlefield.

      This setup would require an IR laser for active aiming as there is no passive option on the gun. I can’t determine the device, it looks like it could be some kind of laser or combination device, not really identifiable as any western consumer or military unit.
