What do think of modern Russian standard issue gear?
What do think of modern Russian standard issue gear?
Henry Hughes
Luis Stewart
will dump pic to keep the thread up.
Joshua Wilson
>aka modern Pro-Russian standard issue gear
Aaron Martinez
kek
i like it more than the modern us gear
Evan Collins
Jonathan Murphy
>implying anyone will get issued this except of a few units that wear it for pictures
Its like the polish army and the MSBS
So far only the "model army" use it
Christopher Reed
then post some pics of what the rest is wearing
Benjamin Thompson
Evan Hughes
based MPL-50
Josiah Cooper
EMR
Levi Gutierrez
behold
Anthony Ramirez
That is Gruzia, dipshit
Best military spade
Gabriel Cruz
those look like late 90s though. and wouldn't it make sense that a country with the economical power of italy but a much, much larger military and population would only equip it's soldiers with modern gear when they're actually going to deploy?
Xavier Young
that pic is polish training exercise from 2017
William Allen
>tfw
Carter Smith
Just by the availability of their gear in the black market, it is safe to assume that this is standard issue.
Daniel Richardson
EMR is the most aesthetic camouflage pattern in existence, now only if Techincom and BTK would actually use the same dyes.....
Chase Powell
Zachary Parker
They introduce new dyes every years, so it seen.
Just look at this.
Jack Scott
yeah most of my EMR shit doesn't have the same colors, and the pattern printed on my 6b47 is angled at 45 degrees too.
Gabriel Martin
Russians are the only people who ever did digital camouflage right. I still prefer flora and KLMK above all else, though.
Ayden Rivera
By modern western standards, mediocre af. Comparable to 90s era American equipment.
In terms of whats its replacing, its groundbreaking. Nods, comms and optics for everyone, ballistic eyewear and body armor. For a country with such a shitshow logistical train where equipment is either mismatched or not issued at all, where they only discovered socks in the mid-2000s and still cant reliably mass issue optics in spite of being the first country to jump on the idea, ratnik is really bringing them up to par; provided it actually delivers on what is intended.
Evan Mitchell
fuck you portyanki are /comfy/
Easton Thomas
probably because the MIC is the only thing keeping russia afloat.
James Sullivan
I fucking hate the Americanization of Eastern Gear. Both Russians and Chinks.
Thomas Gonzalez
This. They're losing what made them special.
Lincoln Rogers
i doubt they can afford all that modern stuff honestly. but i'd be impressed if they did.
Jacob Hall
American bullets can't penetrate them youtube.com
Joseph Flores
>every country's military style should be frozen in time so that it appeals to my tastes
Levi Gonzalez
this is what happens when you melt down your old stalinium-forged nugget stock for armor plates.
Carter Nguyen
good thing their head, shoulders, arms, legs and stomach are still unprotected. And if they're utilizing cover properly, the only parts of their body that can be hit will be their arms, shoulder and head anyway.
Juan Rivera
they still have ushankas you fuck
Josiah Ortiz
I know most modern soldiers are just camo'd men with pots on their heads and plates on their bodies but you can modernize gear without going burger.
Zachary Butler
Not what I'm saying, of course I expect some things to change as technology advances. That shouldn't mean decking everyone out in multiscam though.
Asher Williams
That is a 6B23 plate, it is ancient.
Parker Wilson
Do they still wear coats cut like 70's/80's Afghankas?
Jackson Wood
>ancient plate cant be perforated by M855A1
now what does that say about more modern plates?
Jonathan Rogers
They used to have the best looking military shit on the planet. Not just restricted to uniforms. Their weapons, armor and aircraft were all pure sex.
Ethan Scott
Americans won't be able to hide behind houses made of wood much less fight them in the forests of russia
Nathan Morgan
Some fucks in Khabarovsk still use the old VSR pattern in the afganka cut.
fuken based
Isaiah Sanchez
They have a standard issue full body aramid kit though. But this thing is even more rare than their body armor.
Elijah Harris
would probably be less rare than a russian Granit-5 plate tbqh. those are fucking unobtanium
Thomas Reyes
They have a plate that rated for .358 lapua AP, but it was pasted out of service after Crimea.
About 3.5kg per plate
Joseph Johnson
>soft armor
>doing ANYTHING to rifle rounds
Logan Thompson
that one was designed for the 6B13 right? I remember that one having some stuff going on with a scalable/modular plate bag.
Dylan Cooper
>tfw I'll be getting an afghanka soon
It will stay with me forever.
Robert Butler
Granit 5A is not that rare, but the 6A one is super rare.
Isaiah Russell
The reason I haven't bought one is because they're really fucking expensive for what they are.
I don't understand why a clothing piece from a conflict that is relatively obscure and often neglected by the west is so expensive.
Adam Hill
Mean for this reply For 6B43 though
Adam Richardson
Shame 6B43s are kind of shit because russian contract soldiers just steal the kevlar liner.
They fixed that on the 6B45
Aiden Gutierrez
Only a couple hundred usually from what I've seen. That's not terrible for something so niche and becoming rarer all the time. You can also get the exact same coat but in Flora for somewhat cheaper.
Evan Murphy
>They fixed that on the 6B45
Now they just have to steal the whole body armor
Carter Perry
For example.
Kevin Robinson
Thanks for the advice user, I'll look into buying one of those then.
Are there usually any differences in quality? Because I know the... "work ethic" really decreased in the late years of the union.
Christian Howard
I'm not sure. Most of the Flora ones I've seen had Russian Federation patches, but I couldn't tell exactly when they were made. There's probably someone on Jow Forums who knows more about afghankas and could tell you. I eventually want to get one of the khaki ones from the 80's though, they look so striking.
Austin Anderson
>from a conflict that is relatively obscure
It's such a shame. The Soviet Afghan war and Panama/Grenada/Desert Storm were the only cold war action we ever got.
Nolan Murphy
Yeah the khaki ones do look more neat in my opinion as well. Combine that with the fact that the web gear is usually less than 40 USD too.
Angel Clark
There is a reason why any semi relevant military power is switching to some form of multicsm. It's because it fucking works.
Robert Morgan
Late cold war era Soviet gear had pure fucking soul, the peak military look.
Carson Jackson
>It's because it fucking works.
In the desert, sure. There's no such thing as a universal camouflage, with how much Jow Forums likes to shit on UCP I thought you would have learned this by now.
Aiden Brooks
why does the krink dude have two right chest pouches?
Leo Hall
That line goes further up past the pocket, maybe it's just a crease in the uniform?
Andrew Bailey
I just noticed this is a scan from a two-page drawing, it repeats itself for a bit because you usually cant see the drawing near the center line all that well.
Sebastian Powell
cold war era propaganda artists were actually the first to use the photoshop clone tool.
Elijah Scott
Clearly a book scan thats been badly merged where the spine would be. Whole joint needs like 6-8 pixels cut out.
Jackson Rivera
Georgia, 2008. It was more than 10 years ago, idiot. Flora gear is "pro-russian" gear now, it's shipped to DNR and LNR.
t. Russian
P.S. Amerigear is better. Ecwcs and pcu, mostly. Tatonka gear is popular, too.
Asher Phillips
Obligatory.

Aiden Taylor
Poland! Please dont post if you don't know shit about.
Joseph Martinez
Makes sense, I can see it now. From what book, I wonder?
Luis Ross
Well, no. Canadians were the first and only.
Liam Kelly
Luis Wood
Joshua Collins
Robert Sanders
I don't know if I like 80's Soviet or 80's US more. Uniform cuts and camouflage patterns were both tip top tier.
Jordan Jones
Anyone know if the level 8 winter suit is worth considering for western europe /out/ shit?
Samuel Gray
Pic is from Zapad.
Austin Butler
These from a decoy unit? I know that there are still a few rear-line units that still use the 68 helmet to some degree.
Daniel Rodriguez
The truly aesthetic stuff
Evan Thompson
Leo Cooper
posting some camouflage troops during a demonstration using rear-line gear.
it's from 2011 though.
Alexander Howard
Jackson Harris
Noah Lopez
Literally just Soviet soldiers with digital camo.
Aiden Cox
Where do i buy those inflatables
Brody James
dunno really, maybe ask some of the russian arms exporters based in russia. Alternatively you can send an e-mail to the ministry directly, they've responded to a fair amount of questions I've asked them over the years.
Nicholas Morales
It's badass looking but why do they wear those face masks so much of the time?
Anthony Cox
Noah Robinson
>answering your own question
Hudson Moore
keeps your face from freezing, make you nearly unidentifiable, and they look comfy.
also the "man behind the mask"-thing is really neat.
Kevin Scott
Too broad. Some stuff is awesome and some of it is trash, at least compared to Western kit. Their camo patterns are sexy though.
Asher Wilson
Why did the GAZ Vodnik never really take off?
Tyler Bailey
It was a transitional design and didn't really add a ton of new features compared to the existing BTR fleet.
With the prevalence of RCWS systems a vehicle similar to the vodnik is a better option nowadays. look at the KAMAZ-4386 for example.
Colton Garcia
I'm pretty sure that's meant to be an EOD you can fight in.
Xavier Davis
>cant afford name tapes
fucking pathetic bear fucks
Charles Myers
Not pathetic, they have loop type velcro on their standard summer uniform to accomodate for their name, it's just not visible when wearing a fucking ballistic vest over it.
Kevin Hill
Name tapes aren't aesthetic.
Alexander Barnes
Cooper Martinez
No, the Assault EOD is pic related

As a vile LARPer, I really enjoy it.
