Python Patrol is one of my favorite sub teams, i always considered them an elite unit lead by Copperhead, right now, i have Copperhead, (1) Officer, (1) Tele-Viper, (1) Trooper, (1) Crimson Guard and (2) Vipers, i doubt i will add any more assuming no Python themed vehicles other than the trouble bubble

I only get one of each, so I just put them all together in a single unit, under the command of Copperhead (until PP Major Bludd gets made).

While stealth is an important consideration for Cobra forces assigned to Night Watch, Jungle or Python Patrols, there are distinct factors which in my opinion differentiate Python Vipers from Jungle Vipers or the Night Watch. Stealth for each of these sub-teams is achieved using different methods.
Cobra troops specializing in jungle warfare are more concentrated on fighting in that environment, overcoming the jungle challenges while using elements of it to their advantage. Pythonized troops wear specially modified uniforms to mask their presence, confuse radar detection systems, and use other avoidance strategies for their ground, air, and waterborne forces in a number of different environments (not exclusively jungle).

Yeah, I assumed we were talking about Classified in here, as this thread is in the General Discussions, rather than Vintage.

My Python Patrol is organized into little baggies and rotting away.
Um...Cobra Commander was the only snake turned into a man. He used Dragonfire to give Cobra vehicles and existing troopers' uniforms snake-like properties, like special radar resistant camouflage or something (personally I think it just gave them a new paintjob). I assume it all faded after they lost control over the Dragonfire sites. Cobra Commander did use Dragonfire to make monkey men but it was only temporary. |

It was a general question about Python Patrol, how exactly does "General Discussions" imply "Classified"?

It doesn't, necessarily. I was just explaining my thinking when I initially responded. It wasn't in the vintage section, so I thought OP was talking about Classified.

I had to look up Trigger and Lightning.
To me, Python Patrol are the radar-reflective uniforms used in special covert missions. They were an occassionally-used aspect of Cobra's weaponry, more for selling to rogue nations for profit than for Cobra missions. Also they are Darklon's primary forces. This is from the modern half of the comics. Darklon is shown to be ostensibly the primary client buying Python Patrol gear. He's a paranoid madman always hiding and trying to avoid detection. His Python soldiers are not Cobra soldiers, they're Darklonian soldiers wearing Pythonized uniforms. His own outfit is then suggested to be Python Patrol gear, which makes sense.
