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.Blu wrote:Complete by the looks of it with British desert DPM uniform.

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.breacher wrote:They exist !!450 Martini wrote:Blimey! did they loot a army surplus shop and a museum?
