Yeah UTJ, I've had a splurge, but that's it for a while again cos i just had to blow a load on spending time with my g/f. I'm going with a lifchik A-Belt, a DDR gas mask pouch in Strichtarn as a dump pouch & still to get a 3 or 4 AK mag pouch depending on what comes up when i have more to spend. Also still to get: double grenade pouch, canteen & pouch, veshmeshok, and if possible an original summer mabuta in khaki, but my size 54-5 seems to be rare so i might have to go repro. At the mo i'll be wearing Strichtarn kecks under Birch 'digital bunnies' camo kecks and black striped telnyashka under the camo top.
Really, the only thing that will look impressive, I think, is that my lifchik is in birch camo too. Still, i foresee an SSh68 with net & cowl on the horizon soonish... and who knows, i might get sick of waiting and get a summer 1st generation Afghanka to wear under my camo. If it wasn't for the AKS74U tho, right now it would look pretty pants.
The parade uniform stuff is for the lols really. I just think it might be cool to arrive on site impeccably turned out as the west's formerr worst enemies lol! But again, i'm a long way off having that complete too. TBH, if i did have a lot of money to throw at Russian gear I'd put an OMON loadout together with a 6B6 full of titanium and a sphere helmet...
I need to start doing the lottery more lol!
EDIT TO ADD: Remember that torch i ordered? 1600 lumens? It was on my mat when i got home tonight. Well TBH I was sceptical, but I've seen T6's advertised as 1000 lumens output before, so I thought 1600 was probably just an exaggeration. The fcuking thing isn't even as bright as my C8 running at 3.7V - it's rated at 350 lumens from 4.2V. Yup, that's a fleabay case opened all right, the wankers!
