Picture of the Day (Other eras)

Right.

The Eighth U.S. Army and South Korean forces captured Pyongyang, North Korea on 19 October 1950. In this photo of Pyongyang on that day, South Korean General Shin Sang-Chul, Commander of the 7th Division (left) and another officer are mounted on horses captured from the North Korean Army.

I´m finally back home, so here´s a "bump" for this thread:

No further info. I guess the photo was taken during the 03 invasion of Iraq, but I have neither a date nor a location.

High powered laser for sniper training.

one guy says that on MP.net without source.
Me dont believe, cause they dont look like a sniper team - why ? No good camoflage, no spotter,
the diameter of the "gun" looks bigger then the laser system for a tank gun -

IR spotting?

[Kalkalash]

Perhaps an adaptation similar to LAW's practice version (inner tube in Finnish)?  A weapon that just fires a very small tracer round. Judging by the binocs and scope it has to be some sort of marksman training.

Could also be a laser pointer/targeter.

normaly you use the real steal weapons with a small IR / Laser unit on it.
it makes no sense that you train with a non existing weapon.
for IR guiding you use the real stuff



PAL 2000 Anti tank weapon with laser unit.


and

Carl Gustav AT gun with laser



both smaller then what the soldier in the pic is using, and in addition he does not wear any reflector himself - or I am mistaken here

Got some more info in it... apparently its from the Singapore Armed Forces.
It's an Aggressor Armoured Simulation Kit (AASK) being used against a Terrex ACV in an exercise on October 5th, 2012. For what weapon its simulating, I'm not sure. Anti material rifle?

Can anyone identify this thing?
