And it's a really bad one. Especially if you try to move your head inside a zodiac.

on the right side you can see that the anka was aiming or spying.

It's ANKA's IR target designator. It can be jointly used with multiple types of missiles. UMTAS, SOM.....any AGM missile that can be guided by laser.

But I think it's not the SOM.

It's standard NATO gear.

Hmm...maybe turkish soldier are to thin and small. That's the picture in your link:

The helmet is adjusted optimally on the foto. Maybe standard Nato gear must optimize for turkish needs.

Btw, Turkey is not listed among the users.

Right-side; an ANKA most probably laser designating the target for a LGB but can also lase it just to make it easier for the munition carrying aircraft to find and aim its dumb bombs an it. But my guess is that it's one single LGB that has been dropped.

Left-side; again, I'm not completely sure, but I think the view is from the targeting pod of an F-4.

And I don't believe that it's a cruise missile (e.g. SOM) being used, it would beat the purpose of all of its advanced guidance systems (e.g. Terrain Referenced Navigation) when a LGB would do just as good in this scenario which seems to take place in an open field and with constant lasing/target tracking from the aircraft involved. The SOM, for instance, has got a Infrared Imagine Seeker and would thus not need to have its target designated until impact, AFAIK.

@Bismarck I just noticed the slight curve in the behind of PASGT... It's not the helmet our men was wearing, sorry for the misconception but I know that it's a US-originated NATO standard helmet

I just couldn't find a direct link to the exact model..
Here's the news of it's procurement, unfortunately it's in Turkish.

Why does it not have Camo cover over the helmet?
