Heckler & Koch G36 in Silver Arrow 2021

Photo Of The Day and we are back to the excellent pictures from the NATO enhanced Forward Presence Battle Group in Latvia. We get a look at soldiers working together to mount a strong defence against an opposing force during the exercise Silver Arrow. Silver Arrow is part of the larger Namejs 2021, designed to test the skills and interoperability of the multiple NATO partners. Above you can see a soldier shooting his Heckler & Koch G36 from a prone position.

Below: That’s a lot of sensors.
From 5.56 mm to 8.4cm, this squad got it covered.
The Carl-Gustaf 8.4cm recoilless rifle. The Latvian Armed Forces and the Estonian Armed Forces recently ordered the Carl-Gustaf M4. Deliveries will take place from this year until 2024.
The .50 BMG M2HB provides some light and heat, and a lot of noise.

    The second photo, labeled with "that's a lot of sensors" - isn't that the Israeli Spike?

      @Martin Grønsdal Sure does. That seeker CCD is huge.

    I love how everyone in the photos is going full camo except the guy in the 4th photo wearing ruby red reflective sun glasses.
