There are a few things I feel are missing in this impression that I will correct for a winter impression in the works, looking for constructive criticism. :soviet:

I do not know much about the gear, but it looks great!

The photographs are also very well taken.

Turned out NICE!

This should help get you in the spirit, too:

YouTube- Russian Army Promo (VDV Paratroopers)

Nice pics and nice kit there Demichev!

At first I thought it was pictures of the real VDV, and I was like "...one of them looks a tad bit young..." :p Then I caught on.

Very nice gear, indeed!! Great pictures.

I have some VSR camo myself Demichev, I don't suppose you know where to source a 7 3/4" size VSR cap?;)
