Training CRU222 - my time in Afghanistan.

[Valkyrja]

I'll keep this short; that's me in Afghanistan, with exclusive pictures of Norwegian Navy Special Forces Special Operations Advisory Team 222 (MJK) training the elite Afghan Crisis Response Unit 222. Consider this a StrategicFront exclusive.

Nice photos, by the way are these raw photos or any touch up/post processing later with software? Its pretty hard to get good shots while on the move unless you are dedicating much time to each shot.

By the way old style of blurring face is no longer a safe method, faces need to be removed altogether. AI can nearly reconstruct the blurred images if there is enuf data.

@Nordic Wolf Thanks alot for another batch of eye candy! Is there any estimate on the number of foreign soldiers/advisers still maintained in Afghanistan? And what was the approx. number at its peak time?

Good Day!

Nope. No touch up, no software, no post processing, just good, patient camera work. Check out my other pics here:

I'll pass that on to the higher ups. I just got these pictures back, and some were barred from being shared. It took 8 months for them to be screened and doctored to hide faces - it's illegal in Norway to show the face of our special forces. I'll make sure future photos go even further.

No clue about foreign forces, but Norway's contribution is around 30 at this point with the Special Operations Advisory Team 222, though the true number is closely guarded.

Norway used to have a contingent of FSK special forces (Norway's Green Beret equivalent) training Afghanistan TF-24, but I think they were supplanted.

I... don't remember. Something tasty.

Eek! I hope not. Thinking about having another, last have one three years ago, but not currently having one.
