chechen style graffiti: "Allahu Akbar" ;)

they wear red berets, so, are they Vityaz members or maybe other specnaz units also have red berets? If you cant answer, ignore my question.

Thats a 45 round RPK-74 magazine, made in Viyatskie Polyani

A lot of Russian SF guys prefer more rounds.

mack
Special forces of Internal Affairs thsoe who qualify are allowed to wear Red Berets.

This could be Vityaz, Rus, Rosich, Skif, Ermak, Svyatogor, and other 22 teams

I cant say who though

Thanks for the great pics...this one shows a T-62 fitted with Slat armor on a train car in the background. Is that an armored train car (complete with firing ports) directly behind the T-62?

that is correct, my friend explained that sometimes trains get shot at, so thats a full armored train. Some will even have BTR turrets installed.

[Hellfish]

Is there still heavy fighting in Chechnya or is it pretty quiet now? I haven't heard any news reports or anything in quite some time. Is it Iraq-level violence? Better? Worse?

So, the T-62 may be on the train for security and defensive firepower...as opposed to simply being transported. Are there any more pics available of armored trains being used in Chechnya?

the conventional fights were over in 2001
The other side virtually was destroyed this time by a better prepared force
within 2 years major leaders of the bearded retards were killed
most of those who's left are now hiding in the mointains. Majority of atacks are IEDs.

I have some i will have to look. I can request when the unit goes back there soon. The T-62 is probably being transported

There's that WW2 Waffen SS Oakleaf camo again. Is this stuff available in the States? I've seen the Partizan sniper suit at russiancombatgear.com. Seems like I recall seeing a winter jacket with patches of this camo on it somewhere. Those were/are in autumn brown though. The photo shows a spring pattern and it appears to be a vest. I've also seen some gloves on a German guy in the book "Special Forces in Afghanistan" that were an Oakleaf pattern. Where can I buy some?

[ranger75bn]

Great pics man, thanks for the post.
