Good day looking to sell my brand new set of Russian Arctic EMR and Rastr camo the Arctic set is size 56-7 (2XL roughly and the jacket is unlined) the Rastr set is size 55-6 (about a XL) asking $300 for both or $150 CAD individually Shipping from Canada to USA

So I went ahead and bit the bullet, I ordered the A-25 from the website direct and 2 weeks later it’s at my doorstep.

Initial impressions: reminds me a lot of the FCPC v5 in design but there’s a few things I like better on this platform. The wider shoulder straps and the fact it actually comes with pads is a good plus. The wider and bigger quick release buckle also makes it easier to work with gloves. I really like the wider cummerbund aswell. Comfort wise its distributes weight well, the carrier itself is also amazingly light.

The overall design I fucks with heavy, and anything in atacs is just chefs kiss. Went ahead and bought the Kevlar inserts for the front and the cummerbund, just waiting for that and all the pouches to come in the next package.

Overall stitching and fabric is good, no loose threads and nothing feels cheap (which it better fucking not because of how much this shit cost). Once everything is all here I’ll conduct a torture test of it to see how it all looks and performs.

after some annoying filing, its on. what should i do next👀👀

Here is my kit inspired by the Russian Airborne Forces during the Washington D.C. invasion in Modern Warfare 2 (2009)

I'm planning to run the OTs-14 Groza with this loadout. While I know it's not exactly period-correct for a typical VDV kit, the game already features weapons like the RPD and AK-47, and the Groza saw actual service during the Second Chechen War, which fits the aesthetic perfectly. Plus, it just looks incredibly cool!

As for the uniform, it was easy enough to find Red Urban camo trousers, but the matching jackets were hard to come by. So, I bought two pairs of trousers and made them into a jacket!

I must add a pair of things and finally i would have all ready!

Seller is asking 550 for it on eBay. Is it worth the price or not? I’m thinking it’s a 6B5-15

As the title says what plates go in the vest, I just know it's covered whole in kevlar

Also does anyone know if it's still used in SMO and how often? Edit: does anyone have photos of the plates?

And how accurate would you say itd be for Ukraine. Im doing an FSB Border forces at Kursk kit and i have heard of the FSB using 104s in the past but i dont know if they have ever used them on the front. Im also unsure about keeping the optic on it since i dont know if western optics like the eotech ones get used. And as far as i know a lot of people on the front just choose not to use optics at all even if they have the choice to.
