Why is there a Thai Red Bull can?
Was this taken in Thailand?
It is not a Chinese Red Bull can due to the lack of Chinese.

Hello, I am currently building a game featuring on the Modern People's Republic Army's infantry equipment, and I was wondering if anyone here could help me gather information/picture references on this topic.

The problem I am facing is that I don't know Chinese so its hard for me to find picture references to make the required 3D Models.

I need a list of Equipment Names paired with Photos - for
1. Vests (Type 19/21?)
2. Rigs (Type 19/21?)
3. Helmets (Type 19?)
4. NVGs
5. Backpacks
6. Boots
7. Pouches
8. Uniform

If Names are not possible reference pictures from reliable sources would be appreciated.
If you know any website that provides information like these that would be of great value as well.

Thanks in advance :)
Can you privately message me on reddit? I can provide you with some PLA supplier manuals and gear pics / specifications that you might find useful. My account is

The original source of the image is from a retired SOF dude on Headline / 今日头条, I've been following him for a while and from what I can find from his posts, he seem to have participated in a bunch of joint operations / exercises in Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia and some other southeast asian countries. This might have been taken during the joint 16/17 training in Thailand Counter Terrorist Operation Center (CTOC)

Why does that equipment look a lot better than the "SOF" pictures that were released online of PLA SOF? Does that also mean that perhaps the current true SOF of the PLA have much better equipment than that shared online on promotional videos and etc?

I am pretty sure the SOF in pictures are just regular infnatry that are labeled as SOF. Chinese real SOF are kept classified.
