Quite a few wearing British DPM patterns both desert and standard, a virtually indistinguishable version is produced in Russia.German Flecktarn is popular as well, the Russians and Ukranians again producing an identical copy.

Looks that way... Russians indeed copy all major camos but judging by the use of British CIRAS/Webbing it is likely the defenders of the Donetsk People's Republic kitted themselves with whatever cheap surplus' stuff they can get hold off.

A couple of years ago I worked on 15,000 AKs that came from such a cache.

And according to the seller "its just the tip of the iceberg"

As well as the hundreds if not thousands of warehouses all over the former Soviet Union.I know a guy that was taken to one about the size of an average B&Q store that was so full of 54r and x39 ammo crates the doors would barely close!!!!, and was one of four in a compound in the middle of nowhere with only two guards who couldn't be arsed to be there and who were only too willing to exchange a few crates for vodka tokens.
