Telnyashka(light blue) and Beret of the same colour (colour of the skies) are part of VDV uniform. Army Spetsnaz, having the same uniform, actually disguised themselves as VDV.Yes, they are elite units... so just like I said. They might not wear them all the time (they are supposed to be covert sometimes) but generally, yes.
They don't mind too much. Its a popular piece of civillian attire in Russia too.
Remember that unless you are an elite Russian soldier, wearing a telynashka doesn't make you invincible
Folks usually wear naval telnyashka (dark/naval blue). Wearing Desantniy Telnik might get your in trouble. Certainly don’t wear it on 2nd of august.
Very nice picture Roman.
One question is this face/eyes protection helmet shield
effective? What exactly does it protect against?
aDoubt you can conceive anything in Chechnya, all the rebels need to do is send some women or children for recon.
speaking about telnyashkas, I just recieved mine a week ago (eBay), I bought the black striped one, I think its the one of naval infantry. Really keeps you warm! and proud too (since im russian).definetly a good investment.
Nice vid! What about hummer at 01:00 time, can anybody suppose?
By the way, what song is it, sounds like Sektor Gaza
This video is making me laugh so hard when I see the videos of Chechen rebels lol.
II class in Russian classification AFAIR, TT bullet.
I guess from shrapnell as well, US humvee gunners should have something like this.
This is not “a commando mortar” (the Russian army doesn’t use them), this is a usual 82-mm mortar 2B14 “Podnos” - http://warfare.ru/?lang=&linkid=2432&catid=240
The bedplate was unseen in one fragment of the video, but it is present. The mortar can be disassembled and carried in three parts – barrel (pack of 16.2 kg), bedplate (17 kg) and bipod (13.9 kg).
Now the Russian army receives the new 82mm mortar 2B24 (45 kg, 100-6000 m) - http://www.burevestnik.com/products_engl/2b24.html
Lately “a commando mortar” has really appeared, 82-mm noiseless flameless 2B25 for special operations. But it has not been used during the Chechen war. Its weight is 13 kg, range is 300-1200 m, and it uses special non-standard shells.
Its bulletproof... just like the rest of the helmet...

Black? Are you sure? The Naval Infantry wear the same dark blue as the Fleet as they are all sailors!
Sometimes its hard to tell dark blue from black mind you...
redfox0035, desantnik85 thank you very much for the info.If it so effective, I'm curious why this is not used in the west?
Hey thanks for the link, the stuff over there is absolutely incredible, like those bulletproof hats!
Probably because too many people who could sign the cheques to buy them are too hung up on the Cold War...
Russia has many excellent military items (including some that are world beaters) but I've yet to see any Western government buy them....
You have to remember most arms deals are politically motivated - meaning careful choice about what sort of message you are sending your voters when you buy stuff.
What would happen say, if the US Air Force bought MiG instead of Northrop
This of course impossible couse of many lobbies in US. I thought rather that west could develop own, similiar technologies. But there is nos interest about protectionof the face? A statistic of wounds reported during combat matter? I don't know but I really would like know.What would happen say, if the US Air Force bought MiG instead of Northrop
