[quote]Spanish police have confiscated 20,000 battle uniforms destined for jihadists of the Middle East, likely Islamic State and Al-Nusra Front. The uniforms were prepared for dispatch in three containers under the guise of second-hand clothes.
The Interior Ministry believes that the “roughly 20,000 military uniforms and accessories” confiscated, bound for destinations controlled by Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) and Al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Nusra Front in Syria and Iraq would enable terrorists to “equip an entire army,” it said in the statement.

“The containers which carried the military uniforms were declared as secondhand clothes so as not to raise suspicions and be able to pass different customs inspections without any difficulty,” the statement said.[/quote]

Should have just replaced the shipment with orange or pink BDU's and let it go through.

Stick gps trackers in each uniform.

The uniforms in that thumbnail collectively look like a pile of trash. Also, how useful could green camouflage be in the middle of the goddamn desert?

Infect them with a disease and watch it spread across their ranks. Problem there is that it'd also spread to the civilian population under their boot and cause untold casualties.

During night-ops? Operating in shadows? Urban combat?

I think it's part of the fact ISIS want to be recognised as a country to their occupied citizens

Better than the so-called mythical uniformless army that hides among its civilians we hear every time in defense of bombing innocents in the fight against terror.

Everyone in this conflict is using woodland camo. Syria and Iraq aren't all desert. It's probably the same reason the Afghan army chose to issue a woodland pattern rather than a desert pattern, more effective at night and in wooded areas where camo will matter more than in a wide open desert.
