Not necessarily active-duty testing. The image is from the official Weibo account of a private defense contractor that has supplied kits to PLA and PAP. I can't say for sure if all the products shown have been officially picked up.

Another image from Kestrel Defense.
Does that headset he's wearing include ear protection?
I find it funny that they have all this high tech gear on and next to this guy but he doesn't have an optic on his rifle or anything. Is the new optic not compatible with old QBZ rifles?Another image of that smart-soldier system with HMD.
So I wonder with the QBZ-191 coming in, does that mean 95/G is going to be phased out completely? seems like there's still attempts at making it work. The optic on this one looks new, and proper height. Are there companies making kits to convert the 95/G's with MLOK and such?Another image from Kestrel Defense.
Man it looks good, and certainly better than the pure Black uniforms they have regardless of how iconic they became. I'm surprised the US would allow such a purchase, considering I assume there are still ties and they'd want Iraq to purchase US stuff. Considering the Iraqi SF is kinda a point of pride of the US as something that went right, I'd imagine they wanted them to look more American with multicam and the like.Check out the Type-07 desert pattern worn by soldiers of Iraqi special forces.

Pure black in the desert. They would be begging to be shot.
The US doesn’t have absolute control over the command of Iraq if it had things going on there today would be different. Iraq has bought Russian tanks and equipment of late as well.
the Iraqis got some stuff from the US early on but one concern is IFF. The US forces wanted to be able to tell Blue from Green. Buys of US made were likely offered like we see in Afghanistan but that moneycomes from Baghdad’s coffers. The US may discount but nothing is free, a US uniform set has restrictions on it for makers (US) and US Equipment has restrictions on use. As such the powers in Baghdad probably got a better deal from Chinese makers on Highland desert than from the US on 3 color or desert tiger.
