POTD: German Fernspaher with suppressed Heckler & Koch G36
We’ve had a look at German Fernspähers before, but it’s time again.
Behind enemy lines – these Specialized Scouts train to be able to infiltrate land, air or water deep into hostile territory.
Above, we see a soldier with a suppressed Heckler & Koch G36, equipped with the Eotech EXPS3-0 and magnifier G33. At first glance it looked more like a HK machine gun.
G36 equipped for training.
Below: During training on the military training area around Klietz (Germany) the scouts have the opportunity to shoot from a moving canoe. Note the laser tags.
Scouts armed with cameras – military paparazzis!
They can move by motorboat or canoe for stealth.
Amphibious transfer and infiltration.
Unfortunately, it looks like the exercise ended with a pretty serious boating accident. It is unknown at this stage how many Heckler & Koch rifles went missing…

Looks like the guy’s buddy in the second pic is carrying an MP5SD.
Aww, it looks like the boys are having a blast at camp Bundeswehr....
