Are we sure about if he is not an airsoft player?

Pretty sure he is legit, he even has a IR signal device on his head. The same can be seen on this guy’s helmet.

Why not?

I didn't know they were some with it...
Well. Who knows then.

Yes that’s it I doubt anyone would go that far to look real, unless it’s an actual special forces just wasting some noobs.

There are this kind of guys. They are trying to get the most tacticool look they can. This is dummy IR strobe that I showed you. The overall look is getting the look of an SAT but all the patches and the mask included, the handgloves and the tactical vest is telling me airsoft. Also I dont know about any HK417 in SATs inventory. I will give you examples of guys looking cool with Turkish Army patches that are airsoft players.

And here we are

As far as I know, that gentleman is the owner of the only company which produces military products made from Cordura 500 nylon in Turkey. They also made tons of different patches for various units from jandarma, infantry, and SF. Especially during the barricade operations in the east. I don't know if other companies started to use Cordura 500 but his plate carriers are decent and based on LBT 6094. Don't know if he's still in business.

I think it's great that people can be that much into outfit, looks, and their own Armed forces. TSK can't be the only one to come up with all the good ideas. Just remember how small companies with great ideas are bought by bigger companies.

Just imagine that one good idea you have or outfit with camouflage you make is implemented by TSK. I remember seeing in turkish news some 15-20 years ago a retired TSK or POH guy who had made a cellphone controlled machinegun platform. His inspiration came from Aliens (Ridley Scott) from what I remember.

Good video to understand the basic concepts of CQB training for the Istanbul General Directorate of Security
(Istanbul Police).

Everybody who knows something about that is free to give me some information but my question is directed to @Neptune and @Jackal131 . In the pictures below we have 2 soldiers with MAK patches but they are looking like commando or JOH/JOPER personnel. Is there some new MAK unit for who I dont know or is there inappropriate usage of MAK patches? I know that some time ago the MAK teams from OKK were disbanded and CSAR units from HvKK emerged. After the coup attempt they changed the name of the units under HvKK command to
Personel Arama Kurtarma if I am not wrong and the last time I saw pictures of personall in HvKK CSAR they were looking like that:

And now pictures like these are coming:

What is happening here?

Is MAK not a Special Force that belongs to our Air Force?
The last Soldier is not a Member of MAK, he looks more like a Commando with a MAK badge.

These Special Forces badges are something you must deserve, not buying a copy and put it on.
Old Turkic letters and Symbols are fine and good, but a if a Commando uses OKK,MAK or SAT badges is not OK.

Yes at the moment as far as I know it is renamed to Personel Arama Kurtarma but basically it is in the same branch and is doing the same work (CSAR) just the name is different but you know after the coup attempt a lot of things changed inside TSK and I would not get "shocked" if they created new MAK units inside x- commands. Like you said those guys are looking like commando or JOH/JOPER guys judging by the equipment they got. Thats why I asked in order to understand is there some change to the MAK units and/or new MAK under x- command or are those guys just using patches of other units while serving in a completely different parts of the army. I think it is forbidden just by thinking in the logical way.
