1st Chechen War, Russian Impression
I took this loadout for a spin today, It was bloody freezing, the Ushanka and fur collar were not for show.
the Russians were still using Soviet stock at this time, hence the Afghan chest-rig and the old style RD-54 Back pack (marked 1995). The boots are the VDV Para Jack boots with foot wraps (nice and toasty warm!)
The medic satchel I use for carrying spare batteries, BB's water etc, we were moving to another playing area, its not part of the loadout.
The coat is unfortunately the commercial version, the fur collar on the army type is the same grey colour as the Ushanka.
The wires and headset are unfortunately a necessity for team communications!
The RPK74 flash hider was meant to be a RPK74 birdcage version, but unfortunately the bbs would hit on the inner barrel and explode as the left the muzzle! Will have some filing to do....
