Al Hares Al Mane-2020 (Invincible Sentry) exercise, hosted by Qatar, is began. Turkish Armed Forces has sent 2 Army Commando units (They appear on the left side in the first and second photos), 1 Army Special Forces team (Those with HK416), and 1 Navy Underwater Offence "SAT" personnel (He doesn't appear in the photos.) to the Qatar for this exercise. I'll share it with you guys as the new photos come in.
EDIT: I really wonder when Army Special Forces will get rid of these knee pads.

I am wondering that too, even the regular infantry and commando brigades are getting new x-type knee&elbow pads in current camo colour as standard issue gear which can be seen even on the troops deployed to Qatar in desert camo from the same photoset. But SF guys are just insisting to use good-old blackhawk knee and elbow pads. Same as the Safariland 6004 Drop-Leg holsters, it's probably the best holster to use in CQB for their standard issue USP9T siderarms with flashlight attachments et. all. but huge and discomfy as f*k to use in field.
And also notice the current standard issue camo in the new cutout same as their own camouflage variant which has been adopted for a while ago.

"Combat operations in deep snow and severe cold". One of the phases of the Commando specialization course at Isparta Eğirdir Mountain Commando School, which has been shown to be among the toughest military trainings in the world, was successfully completed.

This is what happens when you bring oldschool commanding officers into the operation zones. EOTechs mounted backwards ?

What is the weapon used by the personnel in the left and middle? Are those barrel-shortened KCR-556's?

These are M48A5T2, which were converted from M48A2C with MTU 850 HP diesel engine, new transmisison and 105mm M68 main gun with M60A3 fire control system and thermal gunner sights and M60 tracks btw 1982-1990s. At its peak 1,389 M48A5T1 and 758 M48A5T2 were serving the Turkish Army. Currently only the M48A5T2s are kept in service due to their relatively modern engine and thermal sights. Therefore they are mostly using to provide mobile fire support in low intense inter-border security operations.
Here is the current tank inventory of Turkish military which I have also shared on the first page.
