I dont know but something about these guys screams Spetznatz

Its the lack of eyes. All spetznaz troopers have their eyes removed and a blurry patch of skin wrapped over them in a old ceremony 'inwolwing much wodka'

Heh, heh. I was thinking more along the lines of the big Cossack Moustaches and the Russian Weapons.

Probably Polish GOM (Special Forces) as I know they have been active in Iraq - whilst Russia (officially at least) has not sent any military unit to Iraq and even if they had I hardly think they would have the use of civilian Hummers (see background)

Maybe that group with hummers and AK's has just found AK more friendly on the envirement they work at? Could be from any country, ive seen clips where US forces throw M4's and take AK's instead. But this conversation has been circling before. And salary of merc is many times what marine get, even thou marines are mercs too.

That's what me and Engineer fight about as well, the use of AKs by US forces...

Often they ran out of 5.56er ammo and took the AKs which ammo was MUCH more plentiful...

And that's EXACTLY what this weapon was made for:

www.world.guns.ru...

The Fabrique Nationale USA SCAR! it can use standard 5.56mm ammo in the standard form and the heavy version and use both 7.62 NATO and 7.62 Russian!

But why these hero cry?
