Oh i missed the Third pattern. Sorry was on my Phone and the resolution was low enough that I glazed over it.
all of the First four pictures show Ops Core Fast helmet and plate carrier of unknown make. the QBZ carbine in picture no. 1 and the Type 05 in No. 2 as well as the QBZ97B ( note the magazine well) in picture no.5 have Aimpoint style reddot well the woman in no. 3 lacks this. the diver also has a RIS on his QBZ well the woman lacks this and the type 05 is to short for one
Pictures 2 and 4 are wearing American ATACS Arid a pattern ment for desert and urban fighting it's commercial and not in standard issue.
both the ladies in pictures no. 4 & no. 5 and the guys in the first picture of post #2 all look to be wearing a radio system with a PTT ( the black rounded object on there left breast with the wires) and the ladies both have head sets built into there helmets this is common for western gear. the head set looks like a TEA HTH which is American made I don't know about the PTT I don't recognize it. the woman in No. 4 also has a Camelbak. the woman at the bottom of post one has a close up and the guys modeling at the bottom of post two both lack armor and give good views of there shirts and pants all have hard pads on the elbows and knees there style suggest early Crye precision but Crye does not make Atacs and the pads are to small my best guess is a Chinese maker probably Airsoft clones.

I also find that model highly unlikely to be in regulation for the PLA military hair like that and the beards? Way to rock star.
The Nuclear sports games also add a third camo pattern the guy is wearing a desert set again a Clone of American patterns USN NWU type 2 worn by Navy seals

Noticed his PLA Chinese flag patch is green instead of Red?

must be a attempt by the Costume maker to subdue or try and make it look "IR" it also that same patch is on the first pictures.


I thought that is the costume designer's attempt at making "low visibility" flag patch. Its something that has bother me for years and I thought PLA should have done a long time ago! Seriously you can't get more high visibility than a large bright red PRC flag on the side of your arm! I bet the US drill sergeants probably said something like " Aim for the red flag boys!"

We have many photos showing PLA / PAP soldiers wearing low visibility patches in exercises. So they do issue that. With those soldiers wearing bright red PRC flag, I think they did that on purpose. It may be some kind of identification tag to differentiate sides in PK exercises. It may also be for some other reason, for which they want to make the soldiers more visible.

The US Army for comparison wears both full color and subdued color flags based on where the soldier is operating and what they are doing. If in garrison or ceremony full color if deployed or training subdued.

I have never seen one with low visibility - even Google image search return nothing for me. Perhaps you can show me some?

This is extremely high...well over 17,500 feet. no wonder in the one picture you see the personnel with Oxygen.​

Tough duty station/post that.

These are the two images that I found in the PLA picture thread posted by Popeye and Jeff. As you can see, the one on the top has PAP soldiers wearing very eye-popping red shoulder patches. On the other hand, the soldiers in the bottom photo wear green "low-visibility" shoulder patches. And pretty much all that you can see on the soldiers in the bottom pic is green camo... No eye-popping red / blue /yellow anywhere on them...

Well, do they have low visibility FLAG PATCH? Because in almost all of the photos I seen, when they do wear flag patch it is BRIGHT RED. It seems there doesn't exist a low visibility flag patch for the PLA soldiers.
