I thought it was confirmed that the PGM are VDV? I have seen recent videos of VDV using digi flora as well

You may well be right about the PGM, Zak - tbh the morphine seriously saps my will to consume news: it's a weird combination of feeling simultaneously indifferent to most of what is going on, but also irritated that when something does pique my interest i can barely be arsed to do sufficient research to explore enough breadth of opinion that I feel confident in drawing even a tentative conclusion of my own...
Yeah VDV do wear Digiflora but it's the cut of the uniform i'm on about - I'm pretty sure the kecks are the same (although I wouldn't be surprised if the VDV have retained the thin pocket for a fighting knife as it's an esprit de corps thing), but the VDV top is a more modern cut with elasticated wrists and velcro, whereas the army top is a standard BDU. But at this time of the year it's all about the Gorka...
Edit to add: Smersh are very comfortable once you get them adjusted nice and tight - the only issue I have with them is very few small pouches for separating things which would be difficult to sort out of a utility pouch full of all sorts of sweets, primers, speedloader/s, multitool, chewing gum, tape, cable ties, BFG pins, fags, lighter, etc., in a hurry and/or without spilling/losing tat in the field... plus, if you want to put a hydro-bladder in the butt pack, you have to move it up onto the H-straps or the tube doesn't work as a syphon, so you'd have to suck a whole tube of air before every time you drink, and it seems pretty rare to see Russians wearing it like that...

Russian loadout is a go! Everything's been ordered:

BTK Digital Flora uniform set
Cold weather hat "Chechenka"

And a pair of "Osprey" goggles!
Comes to a total of just under £210, all from grey-shop to save shipping.
edit: a KJW USP with some extras, £65 off a guy on Zero In

Keep us posted on how long it takes to get here, please Tac? And if the order items are fully correct also - there was some chatter on fb recently that Sergei had made a few cock ups... I'd imagine that he's well aware of ppl slagging him off mind, as he is a member of RMAL-UK, so he'll probably pull his finger out.

It's estimated to be 2-3 weeks although it will probably get here earlier. I'll keep you posted!
Also, do you have any idea where I might be able to find real RPK-74M furniture?

That's a very generous estimate. Most of my orders from there have taken on average a month or sometimes more to arrive.
That said my last order with them was three months ago. Hopefully Sergei has improved things since then.

Well I took advantage of UK Tac's 20% off all warrior products deal and I got:
- Warrior tan riggers belt.
- Blackhawk serpa CQC glock holster.
- Warrior tactical black pistol lanyard.
- Warrior double pisol mag pouch olive drab.
- Warrior subdued union jack patch.
- Mechanix original covert black gloves.
- Helikon olive drab baseball cap.
- WE glock magazine.
Most of the items above were from UK tac. Another tiny step closer to completing my loadout; Battlefield inspired, of course!

Nah mate... CYMA RPK-74 midcaps are 140rnds*, it's the hicaps that hold 800.
*even then, from new, you have to oil the spring and stuff them to the gills a fair few times to get the springs working well enough to hold that many.
