Actually, this is a common method of insertion for SOF.

A helo can normally carry more weight in people than they can fit internally. So you carry them underneath.

Also allows you to insert them in a LZ that the helo cannot land on.

Google "SPIE Rigging" - we've been doing it in the US Marine Corps for decades...

the bird looks like a french alloutee III and the writing on the tail boom looks like it says "troupe." if the soldiers were holding up little white flags i would have no doubt that they were french. :)

and yes, it is SPIE rigging. something us army air assault types have been doing for years.
