The FARAJA border guard's Nasrallah-2 exercise has concluded, here's a thread of what we saw:
1/ FARAJA soldiers with AK-103/133s, Type-56-2s, Type-56-1/KLFs, & PKMs. Also note the mix of older Ruyin-1, Ruyin-2/3, & newer Ruyin-4 plate carriers x.com
2/ Kia-2 APCs, as well as Safir jeeps with 106mm M40 RCLs x.com
3/ Technicals based on Toyota Landcruiser 70s. Various HMGs mounted including 12.7mm DShKMs, 14.5mm CS/LM2s, & 12.7mm TG12 chainguns
Safir jeeps with a 106mm M40 RCL & 107mm Fajr-1 MRL also visible x.com
4/ EW equipment belonging to the border guard
Of particular note, the unnamed system mounted on the Toyota Landcruiser 70, was actually seen in past Air defense exercises, on an Aras-2 truck

5/ 120mm HM-16 mortars with M48 HE rounds
M40 RCL armed Safir jeep & TG12 chaingun armed Landcruiser 70 can be seen too x.com
6/ Bell-205 & Mi-171 helicopters. Looks like a possible kamikaze UPK-23 gunpod on the Mi-171. x.com
7/ Toyota Hilux pickups, note GSR-110 ground surveillance radars
A single Toofan MRAP belonging to NOPO (police social forces) can be seen. The fact that only 2-3 vehicles out of hundreds seen were MRAPs/APCs, displays the big issue of unarmored vehicles in the border guard x.com
