    A camouflage-uniformed armed soldier is positioned in a concealed crouch behind a pine tree on a rocky shoreline, holding a rifle in a tactical stance. In the background, a rigid inflatable boat (RIB) with at least two personnel aboard is moving at high speed across the water. The scene appears to depict a military exercise or operation in a coastal/maritime environment.

    A Slovak military helicopter, identified as a Mi-17 SAR (Search and Rescue) variant, is on the ground with rotors spinning while several soldiers in combat gear run toward or away from it in an urban environment. The setting appears to be a post-Soviet style residential area with large concrete apartment blocks visible in the background. This appears to be a military exercise or training operation.
    A silhouetted figure in full tactical/military gear stands in the doorway of a corrugated metal Nissen or Quonset hut showing significant rust and weathering. The figure appears to be equipped with a helmet, body armor, and what appears to be a weapon or equipment pack. The backlit composition renders the figure entirely in silhouette against the dark interior of the structure.
