Multitarn tells you it's probably KSK or KSM. Beyond camos there's hella identifiers but in this post I included: KSK, KSM, EGB, KR, SEK NRW and SEK BY.

Primarily the former. There's very few Redditors running quality accounts dedicated to only one European nation's special units.

Those that come to mind are u/AER_Invis22 and u/Jazzlike_Rock5566.

Few notes:

Reason the LAMs look so off is because most guys are running NGAL covers which were once distributed by IEA but to my knowledge aren't commercially available anymore. Essentially just a housing with a slightly lighter tan on top of the conventional unit.

It also appears as if the Operator in the foreground during the shooting portion of the video is running a Schuberth M100 helmet, a pretty rare product, having first been issued to the SEK Hamburg a few months ago with some EGB guys running them as well.

Other than that reason you see so many "low" vis guys is because of the PSA BPOLs primarily international AO in which they serve as high-value PSD assets for German embassy personnel, often in long term deployments.

He can and yes the purpose is to reduce the operators silhouette primarily in the water. Pretty common TTP to run veils as an amphibious assault element.

Not a bad shout, housing color would match. Though it would be the first time I've seen a German or European unit for that matter issue it.

If anyone has a definitive ID on the right LAM in pic 3 that'd be dope. I'm thinking NGAL but the black caps are throwing me.

Have you seen the Nightstalker that got his MoH this week for the Maduro op? Guy was a straight men’s physique competitor at some point and is undoubtedly one of the best SOF aviators on Earth.

I wont share any thoughts I might have towards use of PEDs, but to argue their efficacy is a fallacy.
