Barrelsniffer Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Looks like a staged photo shoot, may be just for the rifle ? when i did my snipers course we had ghillie suit inspections every evening, there is no way anyone would get away with what they are wearing.

brown dog Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 We've had a little frisson of PM and email over-excitement over these photos. Could everyone take a 'calm down' tablet. The photos (unblurred -which is something kindly done by one of the mods here) are in the public domain......they're even published 'en clair' in the 'Soldier Magazine' equivalent of the country in question on their governmental website - as well as on their social media channels. End of excitement please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve t Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 ghillie suit inspection every night !? The blokes wearing what looks to be paraclete light, crye trousers and aku boots all standard issue of units that don’t always have to go though the normal processes to get new equipment and weapons issued so who knows !? Does look awfully well looked after to have been issued though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does look awfully well looked after to have been issued though. I think that it is most unlikely to be 'Them'. Anyone approaching those gents with a camera would most likely find it remodelled as a rectal endoscope. And they certainly wouldn't be giving out their names! On the other hand, there are one or two units where looking 'ally as' and channelling 'special' are almost part of the job description. I think that's a much more likely explanation.

steve t Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 i think its unlikely that the blokes bought what is very over priced body armour and has got away with wearing it. having said that i think your most likely right, and “they” never drop ops-sec broccoli !?

defence Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Looks like a staged photo shoot, may be just for the rifle ? when i did my snipers course we had ghillie suit inspections every evening, there is no way anyone would get away with what they are wearing. Yes mate,...staged AI photoshoot. AW was returned on an "upgrade prog supposedly to avoid a re-tender. In effect they just sent back the AX. Its been on issue a while now. Its not been without its problems so far,.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In effect they just sent back the AX. Its been on issue a while now. Its not been without its problems so far,.... Now, only because I know exactly when and where those pics were taken, and framed against your burst of other anomaly-rich 'authorative' AI posts; grateful if -before people listen too hard to your 'facts'- you'd spell out the background to your knowledge of AI systems in UK military service (and related claims) as well as, interestingly, the spares policy of AI's UK and US commercial operation and how, alongside that, you are expert on the technicalities of nitriding, the British Army's supposed 'weapon-painting provider' as well as the supposed nuances of AI's N American commercial operation - a range of knowledge fields that are not normally found as bed-fellows. Or, if not expert, please couch future speculation in the language of 'speculation' rather than the language of 'fact'. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AI -in-AU Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Pfffffft - wot a lot of fuss n bother. [Admin edit: Yes, what a lot of fuss and bother until one of our UK homegrown terrorists googles the hell out of what you just posted, and turns up on one of their doorsteps with a set of orange coveralls, a carving knife and a video camera. Not everywhere is the arse end of nowhere. Apply some common sense.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
