What do Russian SOF use?
vodka and tracksuits
>>29841798
There's no possible way these guys are Russian SOF.
I refuse to believe that they wear that much American gear when every Putinbot and .50 center tells me that western gear is shit.
>>29841798
Guns, pants, maybe shirts if they got a bonus that week
MARPAT apparently
>>29841798
Isn't that an Iraqi flag on AK dude?
Tricked out AK and MP5, MARPAT, lots of US accessories, a Hilux and a background that looks nothing like the Middle East as we know it. What the fuck is going on in this picture?
>>29841798
Guns.
>>29841832
>MP5
That's a PP-19 vityaz, excuse my autism
>>29841832
Pretty sure it might be airsoft
>>29841798
M4s
>>29841854
Oh shit, so it is. I didn't look that close and the proportions and mag shape, combined with the camo and all the tacticool made me think MP5.
So they've both got Russian guns, then. I also just noticed that the truck has an Arabic plate. Who the fuck are these guys?
>>29841880
God know's, probably some "FSB" or "Alpha" cool SF dudes
>>29841798
western tech
and it's even more comical because I'm serious.
>>29841809
Some even use M4s with Eotech sights, but you're right about those guys not being Russian, the flag gives it away.
>>29841798
Borscht, turnips, getting tactically sodomized by the platoon leader
>>29841809
Aside from the MARPAT, optics, foregrips, and helmets, its all Russkie shit.

they do use MP5's tho, pic related collection of Russian SOF Mp5's

>>29842519
>>29841809
There is literally a Dutch flag on the guy on the right.
>>29842531
Looks like the Syrian flag
>>29842556
A reverse search on the image IDs it as Russian SOF in Syria, too.
Still pretty crazy though, and I never would have imagined Syria looking like such a winter wonderland.
>>29842568
The Ruskies must feel at home
>>29842527
That oldschool claw mount, yeah baby.
>>29842505
What's the reasoning behind the tape at he bottom of the pistol grip?
>>29841798
Broken arrows
>>29841809
Any time Russians get the chance to buy their own gear, they get western shit or knock-off western shit.
Slavaboos on here only shill gorkas and shit so they can feel better about being poorfags buying rusmil surplus
>>29842668
grip tape?
>>29841798
These guys are Syrian.
Most western gear that aren't accessories that people see Russians use are typically in the hands of SOBR/FSB which are part of the MVD, which are essentially SWAT/HRT ( FSB has other tasks as well more kin to SVR duties but it's mostly known for Alfa ). Being "police" forces it's not uncommon for them to buy whatever since budget isn't constrained by standards set by the parliament or MoD.
Pic related.
>>29842778
Quite a lot of Russians in Syria packing western military patterns
>>29842810
>>29842825
>>29842778
>>29842810
You will not find Army or Naval SOF units using non-Russian-made gear, excluding accessories.
However Russians do COPY some western stuff like patterns and such, regardless it's still Russian made.
Also >>29842825
Is a Russian pattern, it's desert SURPAT, they call it KSOR.
>>29842840
>>29842531
dutch using AKs?
>>29842842
Not KSOR. The colors are off and KSOR is usually oriented vertically. This looks like knock-MARPAT kind of like what the Saudis use
>>29842769
I see. Why not make the whole pistol grip out of grip tape though?
>>29842866
You sure? It sure looks like KSOR to me
>>29842888
>>29842908
Also I appreciate the Russians in Syria pictures
>>29842923
>>29842888
They all have the same base pattern that CADPAT uses, but the colors are definitely not KSOR. It's a bit hard to describe, but KSOR looks "paler" and seems to have less color saturation. The browns in MARPAT pop out a bit more like in >>29842825

Same guy in a slightly older pic
>>29842935
Oh I see it now, it's is much more like MARPAT rather than KSOR(paler) or desert SURPAT(very saturated).
>>29842986

Where can I find this.

>>29841809
It looks like they are Iraqi SF on training.
They have a significant amount of Russian gear, including a fucking Vityaz and a bunch of Zenit gear.
They are wearing MARPAT or at least a clone of it, but the pattern on their helmets and gear looks to be SURPAT, which is basically a Ruskie Multicam.
>>29843057
>>29843065
Why ruskies can't into their own camos?
Missing the macropattern every time they ome up with their own design.
They just look like a tan or a OD.
No wonder they just steal foreign desings. And they also fuck up the domestic printing with fading colors.

Do want.
>>29843127
idk what are you on about. every camo thread you spout this nonsense and every thread you disappear after being proven wrong. vkbo kit has a flawless micropattern, buying online a used washed out 2011 digiflora has been entirely your own fault
>>29843307
Sure is a lot of western shilling of overpriced capitalist pig filthy ITT
>>29841798
the truth is nobody knows what actual slav SOF use in the field, all the pics ITT are slavs on vacation hence all the mismatched uniforms, gear and equipment. Obviously not glorious army of mother Russia
>>29841798
Hostages.
>>29843372
No, they use gas and thermobaric explosives ON hostages
this is an important distinction to make
>>29842868
Fund it.
But really, ask me how I know you're noguns.

Never going to take shit from surefire fags again
>>29843183
That is an extremely aggressive camo. Do like
>>29842432
This. You'll see a bunch of western stuff on their weapons.
I really want to turn my SGL31 into one of these but holeey fuck are these heavy.

You fucking retard, Toyota pick ups and technicals are the night rigs of the Middle East and North Africa. There was even a conflict in the 80s called the Technical War

Cause its all desert all year round right?
Wrong
They have winter
They have snow
>>29842568

That's because you're a stupid American

Fucking autocorrect
every SOF seem to be using the same uniform

>every SOF seem to be using the same uniform
Right?
>>29844583
Yep, loads of multicam all around.
>>29841798
Body warmth (read: Man on Man action).
One guys happy, one guys sad.
Fucking hate how prolific all this Western shit has become now with the Ruskie SOF. ....I miss the early shit-ball look..
Beslan is best land.
> tfw Atlyn's, Partizan Harnesses and all the cool old-school gear will slowly fade from existence.
>>29841798
It's Syrian SOF who is using MARPAT.
>>29845223
They just use what works.
I really like the modern mix of Russian, Western and captured gear. It's absolute top tier.
>>29845228
They're not fading, they're just showing up on eBay.
>>29845223
Nigger, the first Chechen War is where Russian gear was at its coolest and strangest.

>>29841860
It's not these are two Russian dudes who sent the photo to zenitco to say thanks for the gear
>>29844560
Better than anything else
>>29844545
Yeah I realize that now. The old Iraqi flag looks quite similar and it's still what I think of as their flag, thanks to Gulf War broadcasts as a kid.
>>29844555
I meant that the Toyota is a quintessentially Middle Eastern vehicle but the background was incongruous. I got thrown off by mistaking the Syrian flag for an Iraqi one and was all confused to hell by it.
As for the weather, I just didn't realize that Syria had mountainous areas high enough to get that much snowfall. I live in Southern California, which has a similar climate and is at about the same latitude, and we only get snow above 5,000ft/1,500m.
Some quick reading says that snowfall like this is pretty rare there, and this was the worst storm in decades, so I'm not completely crazy for being surprised by it.
>>29843831
>heavy
That example actually a light gun for most SOF. Oftentimes they are using even more shit than that. You just need to get over the fact that a modern military rifle with full capability is going to weigh just at if not over 10 pounds with accessories.
These meme-tier 8 lb AR's with a T1 and extruded full length keymod rails with a hand stop, front sight, and maybe a light are things that only cops and civilians use. Just train with it and in time every other gun will feel like a toy after you are used to a 12 pound loaded gun.
