ancora telini woodland e, ad occhio, "india battery" dovrebe essere un'unità di artiglieria, quindi si conferma quello che avevamo detto qualche pagina indietro.
Anche se, a ben vedere, con la sterpaglia secca e gli alberi verdi in lontananza un telino verde abbinato alla frog ha il suo perchè (vedi ultima foto)
mi fa piacere vedere un paio di OR longbow gloves, io li ho comprati perchè mi piacevano molto, in foto non li avevo mai visti

Petro dillo che sei un fotografo del Corpo...le prime di questa pagina sono bellissime.
nuove radio, nuove tasche, diversi particolari interessanti... replicare fedelmente un setup attuale è sempre più un casino, cambiano equipaggiamenti troppo in fretta
In attesa della conferma e-mail
l'antenna della nuova radio nella terza foto sembra quasi un calamaro gigante
Beh comunque queste foto continuano adimostrare quello che dicono i soldati e i generali, ossia che l'afghanistan sta diventando una guerra "particolare" e i marines ci si stanno adattando, vedi l'adozione di una M240 per squadra o l'uso sempre più frequente di DMR in 7.62 (per il discorso degli ingaggi sui 500 metri o più) o anche l'adozione di quel tipo di radio, che di sicuro sono molto più efficienti delle altre e trasmettono più a lungo ma che sarebbero state deleterie in un ambiente come l'iraq perchè girare per le case con quell'affare non sarebbe stato semplice(mentre nei lunghi pattugliamenti nei campi afgnani non da molta noia e da un vantaggio notevole)
