Copplestone Castings future wars ranges can cover pretty much all of those:

I would use Empress moderns universal range as a base for the grunts with much helmets.

Does th me RPG guy wearing a fast helmet? Or a Russian style soft para/tanker helmet?
And then hit up their ultra modern British lien to pick up some beret heads for the dude with the pistol.
Heck their SCW line has guys swpresr heads with peaked caps, but you would have to add a sabor one of their commander figs to make them fit.
And sadly the last photo is not showing up for me, so I can not offer anything for it

I think Warlord's ProjectZ Special Operators would work for the chaps in the top picture.

Thanks a lot.
I didn't remember these military from Copplestone  with caps or berets, and the Empress universal soldiers have good candidates too. Warlord operators look good too but my son prefers metal miniatures.

And now that I can see the guys in the bottom picture.  I will say that Empress modern Russian line might work for them, with these heads attached.
Might have to add the shoulder pad yourself though.

Hi,
For the bottom picture, I see Spectre Operations Russians https://www.spectreminiatures.com/collections/in-stock-items/products/gru-spetsnaz-smg-bravo

or The Assault Group minis https://theassaultgroup.co.uk/product/russian-mvd-with-aksu-74/  with
https://theassaultgroup.co.uk/product/mvd-visor-x-10/

for the officer with peaked cap, you could use either a WW2 German officer with a little work on him, or Crooked Dice US cops https://crooked-dice.co.uk/product/lawmen/

Cheers
Fred

Crooked Dice's Governor General's Army might be of use:

I must finish the other set.
