    Yes, but Ka-52 has been flying with gear down all the time lately (hydrolics removed and gear locked for weight relief?) and cancellation of Vickhr production means they use inferior Atacka for a long time, if not permanently(now clearly seen radome cover on left flare dispenser block must be cover for Raduga guidance block).
    PS New "Dusk" camo scheme looks cool.

    AKM (AKS) . He seems to prefer 7.62 over 5.45... at least thats what he is packing in the photos.

    That price is totaly ridiculous, so I agree with You, but monitor those auctions, who knows maybe there will be cheaper offer. From what I know You can get plastic mags however Bulgarian made for a lot less.

    Yeah nice but definitly NSFW.

    It must have been a tough task to "contain" the army guys "watching" the exercise/training lol
    Why russian girls and russian army? Cause of Ural and BRDMs? This could be any East- European country. Pls delete this link and go to "Offtopic and Humour" threads.
    ffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu sounds like I missed an awesome post, anyone want to give the link with an NSFW warning, or PM me it

    45-90 dollars for a Soviet 30 round bakelite AKM magazine is unfortunately the normal price. Very rarely are they ever sold for lower.
