    You're probably right, this picture doesn't fit to the rest, but I wasn't sure (someone described it as GROM operator). Thanks for the correction!

    Are you sure about that?

    I know that it's not a GROM operator, but I have info that it's an member of Polish/Australian paramilitary group: GreenDevils

    More photos of them:

    REMOV, this may seem like a stupid question but what does GROM stand for? Thunder or Lightning? i could be completely wrong on either come to think of it...

    The truth is that the name GROM was first - to commemorate col. Gromoslaw C. one of the GROM founders (also famous for successful operation getting American agents out of Iraq in 1991) - and than someone try to invent and fit acronym into the name (by force a little). So, in Polish GROM stands for a "thunder", but acronim is expanded in at least three ways as: Grupa Reagowania Operacyjno Manewrowego (Maneuver Operational Reaction Group) - most official, and also Grupa Reagowania Operacyjno Mobilnego (Mobile Operational Reaction Group) or Grupa Rozpoznania Operacyjno Manewrowego (Mobile Operational Reconnaissance Group) depending on source.
