US SOF, don't know where or when :P

not sure, but I think it's in Afghanistan I think I allready saw this picture in a book about afghanistan.

Could very well be, possibly a base out of Afghanistan around late 2001, I doubt they had those helicopters deployed in Afghanistan so early.

Yarkadoo fi salaam, wouldn't be suprised if those fighters are dead now. I've a friend in Aleppo which isn't far from Homs, said bodies were found in the river but knowing him he might not be too serious. Wish them the best of luck though.

An Afghan gunner fires a Russian-made D30 artillery piece on Nangalam base on June 27, 2012 in the Pech Valley, Afghanistan. As the NATO draw-down gathers pace in eastern Afghanistan, the Afghan National Army have voiced concern that without US re-supply, they won't be able to secure the region against insurgents.

The Battle of Poltava (Swedish: Slaget vid Poltava, Russian: Полта́вская би́тва) on 27 June 1709 (8 July, N.S.) was the decisive victory of Peter I of Russia over the Swedish forces under Field Marshal Carl Gustav Rehnskiöld in one of the battles of the Great Northern War. It is widely believed to have been the beginning of Sweden's decline as a Great Power; the Russians (Russian Empire from 1721) took their place as the leading nation of northern Europe.

Australians replaced the AUG? Looks like a HK417. Maybe SAS?

An Afghan security man aims his weapon towards Taliban militants, not pictured, during a gun battle in Kandahar, south of Kabul, Afghanistan, Monday, July 9, 2012. Three suicide bombers riding in a three-wheeled vehicle blew themselves up Monday afternoon in Kandahar city, killing two children and wounding several other civilians, said Kandahar provincial spokesman Ahmad Jawed Faisal. A short time later, three more suicide bombers tried to attack the police headquarters in Kandahar, but were gunned down by police before they could get into the compound, Faisal said.

Special Forces operating in Iraq (possibly even Iran or Syria) during the 90's, these two seem to have figured out the golden rule of COIN operations, dress like the guys you're hunting :P
