    Hello,
    Here are some actors of the battle which take place actually in Mosul.
    Mannequins are here with some original pictures to show the comparison.
    Hope you enjoy it.
    M4 and AK are airsoft.
    Stuff comes from Iraq. So we have:

    - ISOF soldier in front of one black ICTS MRAP armored vehicle; helmet is an Iraqi version of a modified US PASGT in order to make it SOF.

    - ICTS captain in front of a D6 bulldozer destroyed by Daech.

    - Iraqi army 9th DIV NCO in a destroyed aera.

    - PMF (Popular Mobilization Forces) shia milician, wearing a ATAC camo set and a flag of Ali, the shia leader. The AK chest is a local modified US body armor jacket.

    - Daech fighter in front of an Iraqi HUMVEE destroyed by VBIED. You can see that this fighter is diehard because he wears a suicide bomber belt (false made ).

    Very nice, I'm surprised to see you have enough equipment to complete some full manikins! Are those suicide belts made around Saddam era Iraqi P-58 belts?

    Could I see some closeups of the helmet please? Are you sure it's a PASGT? looks more like a DH-132 to me.

    Great displays!

    Nicely done, excellent job with the uniforms!

    On your display M4, you might want to consider repositioning the LMT backup iron sight to the rear of the upper receiver.

    WOW! That's a really heavily modified PASGT!
    Thanks for sharing.

    P58 Webbing is the British pattern gear that Iraqi load bearing equipment is a copy of.
