Awesome as usual,thank you !! :tup:

Concerning our sea based nuclear forces,a new variant of this missile (M51.2) will enter in service in 2016,we will also begin to develop another Ballistic missile submarine that will replace the current BMS's by 2035...
It seems that our nuclear forces are in the top priority,and our minister of defense announced that we will continue to modernize our nuclear forces. :victory:

These are part of the BSFT (Brigade des forces spéciales Terre),it is composed of various units of the special forces of the ground forces,these men are probably from the 1RPIMA (Régiment de parachutistes d'infanterie de marine)

The MP5 is in use in all units of the COS (commandement des opérations spéciales) which regroups all the special forces of all branch (Marine Nationale,Armée de L'air,Armée de Terre.)
It is also in use in GIGN and in the Gendarmerie.
Yes most of the units are equipped with Lucie NVGs,but some units are equipped with others as you can see in these pics :

These men are part of the GMC(Groupement de commandos de montagne) the elit unit of the 27eBIM (Brigade d'infanterie de Montagne),they aren't part the COS,but are sometimes solicited by the COS.
Yes,it is normal that some have different gears.

He is a member of the 2REP (2e Régiment étranger Parachutiste).

Also, if you would rank your SF forces which will be the most successful, or the most professional?

I'd say that the most professional of our special forces is the Naval Commandos (Commandos Marine),but this is my opinion. :)

Hope i helped you.
