HERE RARE PIC OF FUERZAS ESPECIALES IN CAMO. THE LAST WITH GLASS TO RIGHT IS PATRICIO DE LA GUARDIA.

That is a very rare picture indeed! De La Guardia is wearing the typical Cuban LBE that was found in Grenada. Are the Cubans wearing the Elm Leaf pattern fatigues?

Yes. The uniform is the elm leaf: you know that SADF recces made a copy of this uniform for border war in Angola. But I never found photos with cuban soldier in elm leaf. This photo is the first for me and it's of light level for the elite cuban SF...

Very nice item, vonstuck! That's the uniform, which was on ebay this year. I've bid on it. It was the uniform of my collector's friend from Italy

Jejeje... and you have such rucksack in lizard camo from the Brigada de Frontera. I think too yours is the only one came out from Cuba.^^

Here the actual model of beret of the Tropas Especiales. It is in use since ca. 2011. The first pieces where made in Basque country (Spain) by Boinas Elosegui S.A. This berets were made from lamb's wool. Meanwhile the berets should be produced in Cuba.
