Very cool, you'll definatly stand out, in a good way.

I dont know much about russian BDUs, is what you're wearing Soviet, or current Russian army.

Sure you don't mean a WWIII Soviet General's coat?

Kevlar was invented in 1965.

Nice gear troop!

Only problem is......Russians have a hard time finding the trigger in combat!  Too much Vodka!  Trust me....Iv'e been there!

hey, vodka keeps you warm in the winter ;). Also SPETZNAZ don't have to ask for permission to shoot. They kill as many people as needed in order to complete their mission. No disrespect to American forces. I just think spetznaz is trained alot harder. America vs. Russia is stupid because the russians would out number them greatly.

OH SNAP... yeah....


I have a set of Spetznas camo, built in pads, great material. The tags are all in Russian so my sister would have to translate but I think it says wool and polyester....   I must say that Russian gear is a step up from the quality of their other equipment.
