Its a fake photo, many Navy FB pages have discussed this in detail after it came out. Take a look at the rings or lack there of. Not sure about the being relieved part, seems like that would also be fake news.

It's clearly a one piece base....welded to the scope!

It's fun to rib other branches amongst ourselves but we are brothers and will protect and defend each other.

That's true, we were on leave during a west pac deployment in Korea, fight breaks out in a bar between Sailors and Marines all of a sudden like 12 Army mps show up and the sailors and marines both just stopped and stomped those army guys. Until shore patrol got there and beat everyone. Even the piano player

I believe the mount is integral to that optic. The picture is real.

Looks like AI generated. It gets things wrong consistently. Like a campfire inside a tent on a Ad.

It's the same as fighting with your brother or cousins. We can beat on each other but if anyone else wants a fight then the whole family will jump in

The battery compartment seems to be offset. Doesn't look the same as scopes on the website.

I doubt that is the reason he was relieved of command.

The picture is from April. None of it is fake from what I've researched. I did think the same when I first saw it. Since April all confidence eroded about his ability until just the other day he was relieved of his command post.

Commander of Navy warship relieved of duty months after backward rifle scope photo flap

The Navy said Yaste was relieved of duty “due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command the guided-missile destroyer” that's currently deployed in the Gulf of Oman.

The scope appears to be a VCOG.
