Who are we?

Haven't had one of these for a while. So who are we now?

I can't quite make out the words on the side of the bus, but it looks like Polish to me. So, GROM?

We have lots of toys, and because Tuukka lives too close to Santa Claus, he's not allowed to play before others get a chance.

I'm going to hazarad a guess and say they are Bijzonddere Bijstands Eenheid (BBE) from the Netherlands. A Dutch counterterrorism unit made up of volunteers from the Royal Dutch Marines.

I ruled out Tuukka because I figured he'd have already seen it or recognized the camo, but jatx got it too quick. I should have scrubbed for language.

Maybe I need to increase the degree of difficulty, though who knows what is difficult and what is easy given the breadth and depth of experience on this forum.

I would guess a Latin American airborne or Spec Ops unit.

Ecuador, perhaps?

Sri Lanka's Army Commandos

Edit: I didn't google the answer. The guys looked South Asian/Subcontinental, tropical environment, and not enough beards or facial hair (Not Bangladesh, Pakistan, or India) and with the recent activity in Sri Lanka, I remember seeing their pictures with the red beret specifically. I linked to wikipedia to show another picture of them.

Maybe I need to try harder.

We'll see where this goes on the range of difficulty.

That was more difficult!

They are Paskhas, a/k/a Indonesian Air Force Special Forces Corps Paskhas. They currently number about 3,000 and are primarily tasked with airfield seizure and defense.
