One of if not the best overt chest rig in my opinion it takes plates you can run it alone or with a plate carrier used in the early to late 2010s a unique piece of kit that serves both recce and assaulters
Not everyone has money
I mean basically every country out there with guys that want earpro and cant afford comtacs get these or just need a solution
Could be used by everyone ig
Used from 2014 to 2017 (16) ish with some sso members using mbc tactecs and 511 sandstone tactecs to this day with newer or OG mbc models very rare to see but robust at the least you can tell the difference because
• 511 tactec is brighter
•511 tactec shitty stretch cumberbund
• no rigs with the 511
These are HEIAN era refs please give rusfor something and not redundant equipment that no bum uses 💔
Theres not much information about them and they were not as widely issued as 01s they entered first visual images in about 2017 with FSB and ROSGVARDIA popularised by halzan but some other teams had them however comparatively very small amounts were made mostly for the national guard
They might just be the farthest russia has ventured into earprotection locally instead of outsourcing niche and interesting product
(ISSUING: 2017??)
You cant remove the useless neck protector but heres my attempt at an NCOs kit 6b28 is accurate and all INSPIRATION images at the end
(Apolitical entirely)
If we already made the TV115 we should finish the LEGACY wartech family pre 2021
Why? Gives flexibility with both PMC and RUSSIAN kits as a whole lets not forget tarkov raid most of them used tv103s
Regardless
We already have tv115s why not add one of the most influencial companies in modern russian equipment to the game at a higher level
“These are copied designs”
Improved or changed people look at silhouettes and say “this is a clone” Wartech plate bags are similar to swimmer cut plates (granit cut or sapi esapi) they sit exactly on the plate with no extra or little sticking out that gives it the classic look
TV110 was called a Russian JPC similarly it is a minimalistic carrier with a similar cumberbund taking many influences on the JPC 1.0 design
TV102 robust plate carrier which genuinely refuses to die its one of the first russian plate carriers ive seen out there with quick release tubes on the base model and its relatively affordable as far as russian plate carriers go, think of it as a bigger tv110 with a larger size and protection focus similar to lets say a MMAC
IT was meant as a middle ground before you reach the tv103
Tv103 is by far the largest piece meant for loadbearing and protection its based on the 6094 at a similar size and half the cost nothing much to talk about here aside from it being SIMILAR it is a state of the arc larger coverage carrier robust simple
And proven.
These plate carriers come in
•MULTICAM
•ATACS FG
•COYOTE
•RANGER GREEN/OLIVE
•BLACK
•EMR
Truly a versatile set and company
We dont have ak12 gen 1 from 2016 and inspiration image not impression at the end
First off skandas have like one reference so shut up
LETS START WITH ARMOR
6b45s were seen ofc old gen versions slimmed down to the max with both ratnik and off the shelf pouches from srvv ,ars arma and sposn
In image 2 we can appreciate a guy on the left with a CPC mod 2 MOD 1 was also seen in similar cuantities both are super common
MBC phantoms in atacs and tan can be seen with some NCOs and regulars
But by far the most common pieces of armor
Are the ars arma 6094 (u) and A17 (basically a 6094)
Various variants of the gearcraft atom both mk7 and og 1.0 versions all colorways
In multicam and tan
Next up on the most common SSO pantsirs in multicam and atacs “SOME” emr versions out there
5.11 tactecs were seen with a single NCO in sandstone
MBC MBS-X Was seen here and there the most famous
Example with a machine gunner
ARS ARMA AVS ALSO a super common option
And nearing the end M2 and TV115 but i will argue that the TV115 was not common since i dont have the refs
A20 was seen from the REAR once in a single clip on landing
TT MK2 chest rig was seen with the backplate adapter with a couple of dudes post and during the assaults its been also spotted in syria
Some atacs AVS was seen with 16th GRU but those guys came in a convoy post the brand is emersongear
Aside from that on helmets we got
•6b47 (multicam and atacs covers seen)
•6b28
•FAST style helmets from ars arma and AA shield
•Militech fast helmets
• ARS ARMA airframe helmet
Belts:
•SPOSN PECHENEG
•MBC warbelt
•Ars arma A19 and avs belt
• TV106,TV123 and 133 all in multicam from wartech
• Stitch profi warbelt

I saw from weird gunfighter belts but those were RARE
Aside from that boots use tan and black but emphasis on private purchase belts PLEASE,base your setups off imaged provided and i will list weapons below
AK74
AK12
PKP
PKM
SVDM
SVD (majority modified in the recon,sniper teams with market optics and furniture)
Steyr precision rifles
SV98
VSS

This is apolitical only meant to represent KITS
I got bored decided to high cut ts, purchased a knock off team wendy suspension dn if i should buy a cover or rock velcro lemme know what to add and do to ts
Lwk if they added back the OG ronograd building it would be cool even for larps IE FSO and zaslon or even Embass staff from different countries ID argue in zombies even for the cool factor, i remember brm2 having a crash site,plane and base spawns now lets pretend limited supplies operators with zero to no restock just base spawns or randomized levels of equipment based on their loadout
Would add replayability and even setting the AI to assault or try to roam around or in the surroundings of the building would be cool
Enjoy and try to replicate
This will
Not go over recce kits thats a completely different story only DA and the usual equipment used
In 2013 to 2020 we can see these pieces of kit
CRYE G2 and G3 uniforms and slavyanka copies of such
GLADIATOR A B and C in green and multicam
WAS DCS, and was raptor with WAS assorted pouches and HSGI pouches
MBC phantoms
MBC TACTECS
511 TACTECS
CRYE AVS
ARS ARMA AVS
GEARCRAFT ATOM
Defender 2 emerald
JPC 2.0 and 1.0
CRYE CPC
Ars arma CPC variants
LBX 0300 and lbt 6094
Wartech tv115
TT MK2 with backplate
SRVV APSIS and apsis simplex in multicam
And various miscellaneous others
Real ops cores are used alongside LSHZ 1+ high cuts 545 design spartanets 1 helmets crye airframes team wendy style
Helmets and other local fast clones
As for uniforms in game i recommend G2 and G3 mix for accuracy feel freeto mix them
However you want inner white combat shirt is drippier with the g2 so you do you
As for NVGs both dual tubes and monoculars are seen pick your poison but monoculars are more common
Ak105s are by far the most common weaponsystem with krinks sparesely showing up alongside 74Ms pp19s and PKMs as for precision rifles hk417s are popular alongside bolt guns like steyr and accuracy international models but local t500 orsis is also a common choice.
Dont shy away from cagging out as they say and make your kit to your liking these are the poster boys for counter terrorism and a lot of private purchase and sponsors are involved
Misc; ACH and mich helmets were used railed and not railed, MRS system, shellback banshee (speculation as for 2013-16) and HSGI padded belts are very common with the fsb alongside the Was frag belts.
I did not mention fort sherpa or any other niche carriers only whats recreatable or popular to an extent
Theres a big misconception they look the same way they did 10 years ago, this is fine images of them are not common however theres been recent exposition on them and id like to make a post clarifying what the hell they got on the fit.
First off SVR must have a contract with mbc gear (credit to vympel face for images) atacs au Mbc tactecs have been seen alongside au phantoms with their pouch suites and matching belts sadly we cant do this in game due to the obvious constraints
For uniforms i have no idea what these are they might be blackhawk still but can very well be g99
Aside from the specified kit we got skat s1 helmets or similar and we still see lshz or ops core helmets
As for private purchase carriers ars arma should be fine for the most part avs cpc a17 jpc and others but we commonly see DCS in most colorways, ranger green, multicam, atacs fg and probably AU. GOPLITS would most likely still be seen and ill showcase setups and spray painted ones because the color isnt the most plausible
Misc can be essentially whatever run monoculars and mostly low vis for the most part use all the armor in game as private purchase is common just know this is due to constraints but work from what you can see in the images I RECOMMEND TV115 but feel free to use multicam
Operators dont use their arc rails often so keep comtacs off their arms preferably xpis but we can also see og sportacs and impact sports in use
BUMPS in training!!!!
Black fleeces were seen in the past but feel free to mix in
Anyways thats it im not the most versed with SVR but i tried to work with what i have i hope you guys enjoy this
We will start with sobr keep in mind we will have,less ammunition, less combat intensive training, equipment and funding you are NOT meant for high intensity combat PKMs RPGs and SVDs do not make you a grunt most of these guys have fought single or small amounts of criminals inside a house or chased them into the mountains they serve warrants and can work in combat as a supporting element as seen in the current age but they mostly serve as a federal style regional level swat unit, their kit is VERY inconsistent, mix of private purchase, issued and whatever the hell this guy bought for 15 bucks on aliexpress (a lot of 6094 clones) we will model on one of the most documented teams that isnt rolling in cash SOBR HALZAN
IN GAME UNIFORMS AND KIT USED
CVS belt
Black boots
Atacs FG uniform (base for all kits)
6094 (green and black)
TV115 in Green
The black comtac 3s as stand in for GSSH04 (dont use often)
Not everyone has earpro howard leights are often seen and not running them is absolutely seen
6 magazines max you can carry a glock or PM yes PM ive see stetchkins as late as 2018 also add optics or two to the ak74 or ak103 (some pkms) you can use they just buy what they can afford if they arent issued
Keep the kits simple and budget friendly mix match pouch colors and accesories misc is up to you
(Use the GREEN high cut or black with the VAS shroud fully green at best a BLACK or green cover)
Images 1 to 5
OBRON images 6 to 10 Light infantry formations and are the standard operational brigades for the rosgvardia they handle internal conflict and defense of critical infrastructure, 8 magazines add more if you wish rifles shouldnt be heavily modified you are issued either the 1p87 or DL19 (use comp m4 with the battery at the low position) treat these guys as like internal infantry that look cool security patrol and ocupation thats about it kit list is about the same just add the rys T visorless with black green or multicam covers posing as a ZSH and use 6b45 if you wanna be unique keep the guns strictly issued aside from glocks plain VSS plain SVD (NON SVDM IE PSO1) no krinks just ball with 74s and PKMs
Almost forgot GSSH01s can pop up here and there with them and PLAIN coverless 6b47s (private purchase emr covers pop up) as for the high cuts you can use whatevee you think the character could afford keep the covers black or green or plain
TssN/ special purpose centers/604th and 607th: IMAGES 11 to 16 showcase vityats and 607th most of them use the classcom tactica but feel free to use the CVS and ball out with your kit you have funding use UF PRO uniforms in their brown/ranger green use atacs or multicam doesnt matter and multicam 6094s as pantsirs work any fast helmet in most configurations but your FIRST THOUGHT should be to keep the uniform atacs but you do not have to exclusively
Kit list:
AK200,105,74M,KRINK,PKM SVD VSS steyr and accuracy international bolt guns and glocks
Customize as you wish
Black,tan and multicam CVS mix matched pouches
6094 in green black and multicam
TV115 in any colorway aside from emr
Any fast style helmet
Any boots
CVS belt but feel free to use gunfighter style belts ie non padded
6 to 12 magazines and dual tube nods are a plus
Go ham on earprotection mostly FMA amps, GSSH04s(black) , Comtax XPs, comtac 3s (green),
Howard leights and walkers razors.
Cant do much BUT i tried to do what i could without the tactica or NPO monolith if not this would have been simple
Going over issued ones and major private purchase options i will not go over the blue voins because thats only sapsan, i dont know the models of the G99 sets and i will only be portraying images just use the images to match whatever combat shirt you will use
1: (credit to justguns on insta he posted this) triada tko, tropical/windbreaker set in multicam adopted in 2021 used by senzezh and kubinka dont know much look at images 1 and 2 and match your uniforms and combat shirts to that top portion most importantly of the combat shirt must have camo fabric
3: IMAGE 3 showcases the 545 design lynx combat shirt its seen everywhere the inner portion is camouflage just at a gradient common private purchase use this type of shitt at your discretion
4: image 4 with the striker gen 2 pants from uf pro only seen in comps with multicam shirts and or atacs ix shirts so use at your discretion
5: images 5 and 6 we got the G99 sets only seen with senezh and (kubinka in comps???) weve seen senezh with them aside from sapsan in syria using them so its safe to say a few people got these replicate as best you can they look great and work great
6: image 7 and 8 showcase VOIN combat sets these are dated images but still you cannot replicate this in game and are a private purchase but some have been issued as custom orders by units but dont expect much with what you can do in game
7: image 9 any crye cut pants really im showing you the more common 545 lynx pant but just use whatever
8: image 9 this isnt the SSO TPG custom uniforms issued in 2013 sadly and are still in usage by vets, i got the SSO Z PRO set here which is similar but you cant replicate these and the combat shirt is similar to the 545 one with the inner camo pattern just imagine the elbow protection similar to the pants and in atacs
Yeah thats it restricted myself to what you can do in game so no ATACS IX sets
Lets start by showing images and then describing how they operate we will start with kubinka (CUBAAAAAA!!!!!!! 🇨🇺)
First 11 images are kubinka, A lot of western influence smaller plate carriers in the field minimalistic plate carriers with their fair share of ammunition etc the most common plate carrier is the ARS ARMA CPC MOD 2 we got also the JPC,AVS and ops itpc if you want DA work for simple “look cool” larps go ahead and pick kubinka kinetic assaults simple rifle setups unlike senezh they stand at a middle ground not standing out that much think of them like a mix of navy seals and various assault oriented SOF they have a dive department and specialize in, Direct action, amphibious assaults, naval recconaisance and are much more or less assault oriented often we see them in atgm or sniper teams but also more often than other SSO teams in assault roles so go ham
Next images 12 to 20
SENEZH: Rock single color uniforms we dont got voins or g99 so cryes and uf pro will have to do also plaid pants and combat shirts are normal they use gearcraft,mbc,ars arma, and even some western pieces like crye avs , jpc 1.0 and 2.0 , Spiritus LV119, FCPC (probably a clone) , agilite kzero but these are niche options and more often than NOT you will see russian items most common here would be the AVS id say but ITPC is supper common too in the field (recently the A25 hype is making numbers) specializing in DEEP recon, advisory, sabotage, clandestine operations, diplomatic security, and direct action but they are famous for instructor combat units overall comparable to cag complex and highly modified aks seen here
561st erc: is CSAR (images in comments) CSAR as in combat search and rescue, they recover aircrew personnel, form qrf , maritime operations, personell recovery, diving , security operations, sector security, assault , support of insertions or extractions you mostly see the same but they dont show up much so I RECOMMEND you scale a few years back fot uniqueness and rock aor1 with 6094s (green) to replicate cubano but feel free to use AVS which they do use in the future with aor imagine as for rifle setups more technichal and fancy ak handguards and furniture but not cluttered probably only the laser and the optic or just a light on the rifle alongside the suppresor images in comments
We start in 2012 where we begin with the HELMETS FIRST earpro will be in the comments.
UNITS:
SENEZH
KUBINKA
561st (post 2013)
ISSUING ORDER:
1: LSHZ 1+ low cut and high cut: the russian take on the legacy ops core models with the iconic lshz shroud Br1 rated ( Roughly NIJ2 to 3A at a middle ground) still in service today some guys change the shrouds to WILCOX shrouds or even ops core a great helmet for the time. (Images 1 to 4)adoption 2012 to 13
2: spartanets 1: BY FAR the most prolific, popular and most well known helmet with senezh its been issued to other sso units (as far as i know not as large cuantities could be private purchase) saw service alongside the lshz and its super light, older aramid also rates BR1 it was adopted in 2014 still sees combat as of 2026 a well made helmet although the shells are literally militech super high cut shells dipped in atacs with different velcro and shrouds. (Images 5 and 6) commonly seen with team wendy style suspensions
3: ATLAS contract high cuts: this was a stopgap helmet mostly seen with senezh these helmets were adopted ROUGHLY in and about 2016 to 2018 I am not completely sure rated BR1 its not that much different from the spartanets just a gree high cut light, but more in line with ops core XP sees limited service today (image 7)
4: OPS CORE FAST SF: we all know you know the glorified bump helmet it is basically LEVEL 2 NIJ (br1) and its about 2 pounds rounded overall a golden crown in the helmet market for people who need lightweight platforms to mount nightvision and some protection. (Image 8) (private purchase post production)
5: AIRFRAMES (MILITECH,CRYE,SPARTANETS 3)
Too many of the same thing so ill elaborate the spartants is atacs and BR1, the crye is NIJ III A (br2) and the militech is IIIA pictured with a senezh operator not a ground breaking helmet just and attempt to be different it is praised for being comfortable from what i heard but thats about it. ( images: 9, 10, 11 , 12)
6: Legacy ops core Fast XP: seen mostly in syria they were purchased in and about 2015 all i know is that i only saw them in syria and in the current conflict only used by veterans LEVEL 3A (BR2) private purchase in small quantities MAYBE team purchases (image 13)
7: MILITECH SUPER HIGH CUT: modern fast SF clone?? Not sure exactly but the protection is IIIA only purchased if you got issued an lshz and you didnt like it in most cases same thing as any other high cut
8: TEAM WENDY STYLE/MILITECH: both real and fake team wendy helmets are seen with the same NIJ level protection usually in ranger green or khakhi (in 2025 we saw some in multicam) NIJ LEVEL 2 or LEVEL 3 (BR1 and BR2)
Niche: mtek flux, random green chinese high cuts, OPS CORE BASE JUMP HELMETS OR THE OG CARBON/bumps
For the FIRST piece of body armor we will talk about the defender 2 EMERALD and covers for it in multicam, Senezh did not get sophisticated plate carriers till about late 2015 and it was a SLOW process keep in mind kubinka-2 in 2014 got early 6b43s which could be said is considerably better than the defender at the time
SSO UNITS
1: SENEZH
2: KUBINKA-2 (Navy)
3: 561ST ERC (CSAR)
4: 432nd STC (as of knowledge this is just a training unit)
Now that we set the stage this is the transitional period where we see a LOT of contracts and stopgaps of reissuing and dedicated plate carriers that are still used today
1: FORT GOPLIT (overt version also seen in multicam with Kubinka-2) Popular with zaslon this was seen in syria in its greyish versions initially both with SENEZH and KUBINKA dating 2015 its dated by todays standards blocky and not that comfortable but for a change it was more modular could even be stripped down and lighter than a defender although not impressive in that aspect it was a good stopgap and can even be seen reissued to 561st guys today (image 1 and 2)
2: MBC TACTEC/511 tactec in sandstone: INITIALLY issued to senezh specifically bikers team then seen widely it was issued in late 2015 early 2016 around that timeperiod it did not differ much from the 511 tactec asidr from swift clips for rigs and a few cosmetic and quality of life changes. I SUSPECT because there is one member in the team with a 511 tactec in sandstone (which is khaki roughly these are like coyote) that they saw the tactec liked it and made a special order from MBC or a guy that didnt get the mbc tactec bought a 511 one instead it continues to see VERY minor use with veterans today MOSTLY with senezh. A few tactecs can be seen here and there. (Image 3 and 4)
3: Fort gladiator C,D and B: originally issued to the FSB these were probably requested for the already explained issue and they were very modular, seen with kubinka 2 mainly and even STILL seen with kubinka 2s dive department (dm for image) its large cumbersome and not very friendly to smaller guys but it does its job, comparable to the US IOTV but a ton more modular.
4: R KARBID CUBANO CORTES: in about 2016 to 2017 Kubinka 2 was searching for a dedicated plate carrier and they ended up adopting the kubano,affordable,simple,rugged and perfect for their mission it was compact and well made issued in green and multicam it sees service with multiple units and 561st liked it so much that the famous team KUBAN was part of is the most famouse with said carrier (probably a unit purchase im NOT sure just never seen erc with them on ever since) (images 6 and 7)
After a while SSO basically went out to sponsors they wore kit in comps and they essentially got what they wanted (gearcraft,mbc,ars arma etc) Atoms can be seen with senezh as early 2018 id say i COULD be very wrong so feel free to retcon, however they didnt get anything new till 2020 which is Supe interesting and a budget option.
5 UR TACTICAL, OPS ITPC: the newly issued plate carrier since 2020 a simple effective plate carrier not nice to bigger dudes do to the awkward cumberbund adjustment but its solid for what it is its just not impresive IT WAS ONLY ISSUED IN ATACS IX along side its pouch suite however guys may buy pouches from said brand in other colors this plate carrier has seen combat and was not the only thing adopted from the company alongside combat pants and matching shirts (oh also the ops elf pack and some custom items you just cannot get)apparently issued to all sso units but i have NOT Seen them with 561st of course we dont have that much public from them since they are very private senezh and kubinka are often seen at competitions (image 8)
Keep in mind most guys rather buy their own stuff but this is just laying out the most important issue items not covering NICHE sponsors because thats not standard issue same with G99 stuff
(MISC: POST 2023: kbs strelok has seen issuing with SSO not to the largest of scale but it has seen issuing no refs aside from comps)
