A top gunner on a military Land Rover watches as it enters the village of Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village sheikh. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

these Rifles aren't L85's ( bullpup) , C8's (M4) ( wrong stock), G36's (Wrong profile) or even HK33's (way wrong) for sure. the Stock looks like a Folder, the Forearm is polymer... they look like Berreta ARX160's but that would make these these soldiers Italian? unless the UK is testing some thing new. then again the helmet looks American style not British and the uniform is wrong...

Edit:The Flag on the Uniform is Swedish and the Rifle is an AK5 variant
