If you don't immediately beat the shit out of the supply officer that gives you that shit, you're an absolute vegana
Russians just pick their shit out of a pile m8
how the FRICK do any of them think that's okay?
yikes
Nice tuohivirsut tho
Are those...shoes made of tree bark?
I can't imagine weaved shoes being particularly comfortable or sturdy once winter hits.
Yes
You layer on different kinds of socks depending on stuff like weather or if you are going to a celebration etc
Yeah but it beats going barefoot
You make a ton of those shoes during winter downtime then use them as disposable shoes they are
Pictured: farmer's market, USSR, 1952. You can see women wearing them.
Meanwhile, Ukraine in the same period of time.
It's simple, they think all armies are like that.
What's lower than the absolute state of Russian Army? Even Norks are more sophisticated than this.
It's not like they're professionals that can identify good kit. Even airsofters don't want to stay in that shit when they realize it's garbage.
they're gypsies
>russians
>thinking
mutually exclusive, anon
You fail to understand that Russians are a naturally subservient race. They've been beaten and raised for the past several centuries to never revolt against superiors.
So do we see some sort of evolutionary evolution in Russians like mankind did with cattles and sheeps?
Nobody with a spine or a functioning brain heeded the call of mobilization. Only the most moronic and obedient of the cattle are becoming mobiks.
Looks good actually. Should help in improving morale.
Can barely stop pistol rounds and 5.45 goes through it like nothing
Didn't someone on /bag/ look those up and find that they were literally Afghanistan-vintage Soviet police armor, dragged out of deep storage because lmao corruption had sold off all their actual issue Ratnik plates?
Yeah, it is one. There's a lot of unpacking videos where looted russian plates are turning out to be some level II police shit.
Wonder what kind of vintage Soviet collectibles will show up in the Kherson footage. 6B3, 6B2, stuff like that?
That's not how corruption works, anon.
Sell them to who? Who would buy entire fricking military supply? Where are the modern plates? That's a lot of body armor that just disappeared and it wouldn't be economical to recycle.
They were never made in the first place.
They sold them to Americans anon
There are probably American airsofters running around in that gear as we speak
Arms dealers, african warlords, mils-surp nerds, russaboos, their third cousin twice removed, etc. Frickloads of small arms, tanks, and even helicopters also "vanished" while some generals and other officers mysteriously got the money to build yachts, eat lots of caviar, and develop a cocaine habit.
This kek, a whole bunch of ratnik gear and AK12 parts ended up in the US, and for a hot minute getting legit granit plates was possible before russian exports cracked down
>tfw you remember sketchy sellers hocking definitely not stolen bakes for 10 bucks per
Copying form another thread
>Your underestimating the level of graft that occurs in a system like that.
>guy responsible for manufacturing ammo gets contracted for x amount
>doesn’t make x but bribes the officers responsible for procurement and inventory
>who then bribe the people further down the chain to “verify” all the ammo was used in training.
>They are probably many more links in the chain, all serving to suck away any competency or effectiveness.
Most of the armor that was paid for was probably never even made in the first place.
Sold 'em to /k/, the gear queers crippled the war effort before it started.
Every time you buy Russian gear a vatnik loses his.
maybe this is 4d chess move to make the enemy feel bad for the russian army so they don't attack
>but who knows, maybe they fight with airsoft guns in Ukraine
I hope the funny vatnik survives
Jesus frick everyone on that bus is middle aged
That's just what the average 20 year old in Russia looks like.
If that's what he's actually saying, this man is either in prison or dead now. RIP funny vatnik.
I wonder if they got the mock plates that usually come with airsoft pc's or something real in there. Not like a vatnik would understand the difference or even how his equipment works.
Judging by his age, I assume he's done military service before so he knows what the real thing looks and feels like.
Are you sure? Dude looks 30 or older and ratnik system was first handed out around 2010-2014 or something and that's the first time russian grumts even had "modern" body armor system with plates
>and that's the first time russian grumts even had "modern" body armor system with plates
The soviets had 6Б3 plate vests, anon...
https://equipment.fandom.com/wiki/6B3_Body_Armor
Sure, not "modern", but still steel / titanium plates able to resist AKM rounds.
And how would a dude who got these handed to him in training 20 years ago know how a modern body armor system feel like?
maybe if the armor feels like sponge, plastic or rubber?
why cant they make these anymore? why are the buying trash from china
>why cant they make these anymore?
factory sold for scrap, people who designed the machines dead
The oldest age you can be conscripted at is 27, so it's possible he was one of the late ones and has seen actual Ratnik before.
what is wrong with their teeth, would it really kill them to go to a dentist every couple of years and brush their teeth?
he can't even afford dentures, that's the degree of misery we're talking about
is there no public healthcare there?
Quality toothbrushes and other personal hygiene products were luxury items in the late USSR, so maybe they've just accepted that their teeth are going to go.
They're supposed to have public healthcare, but it was kind of fricked by brain drain and funding issues even before the pandemic. It currently operates in a hybrid model where many also have private insurance and/or employer-funded healthcare.
The people being conscripted are probably not from the income class that can afford those.
there is no healthcare, it's russia
outside moscow and st petersburg you may aswell be living in subsaharan africa in most respects
Bro, they can't afford it and the dentists outside of big cities still use metal fillings and removal is most used procedure. And most older people still have nightmares of the Soviet times.
At least their hats look comfy
>The one smiling guy in the background with missing teeth.
I hope he makes it bros.
i don't get it isnt that how they are suppose to look?
What if the special operations is just a big airsoft match between russia and ukraine
Chinesium confirmed NOT AS GOOD. Shocking results.
Do those front pouches even fit AK mags? They look like they're are made for m4 magazines.
The bungee should be able to accommodate AK mags. Should being the operative word, because who really knows if these word jumble Chinesium rigs will actually hold up more than a few days under combat stress.
>Aliexpress has joined the war
the frick is C$? Cvck money?
thugs here in south america buy "bulletproof vests" too, basically plate carriers with no plates.
It's Canadian dollars, Anon.
Ah so it is cuck money
the duality of man
Well it's better than some alternatives.
>tarkov IDEA vest is real
lel
dead chechens with plateless armour at Bakhmut
they already max out speed, no need for any points in armor.
It’s all funny, except when you google how WWII was called the “phony war” based on how it started slow in Europe. Actually, point of fact, it started slow in Asia as well. Japan had zero fricking chance of pulling off an invasion of china, no matter what else happened in the world. People thought their adventure in Korea was as far as it was going to go. Then when Japan went insane on china, people thought it was a raid, Viking style. Before you know it, your balls deep in Stalingrad, and Guadalcanal.
Whatever. I hope Russia nukes some israelites in NYC, DC, and Cali, and I am prepared to die a little bit as long as I can live long enough to see it. My country ended in 1865 and we’ve been getting fricked by the Feds and their b***h bois ever sense. Slow boil. Feminism, integration, abortion, gays, now child gentian mutilation and grooming (rape)… the world needs cleaning with holy fire. Perhaps nuclear fire is the gaze of almighty God. We’ll see.
>My country ended in 1865
I've met people like you, they were all losers.
Da, I agree! I am John McFitzgerald from Kansas Oblast, and I wish the based and trad savior of White Race nukes New York israeli Autonomous Oblast! Russia never promotes Feminism, integration, abortion, gays, child gentian mutilation and grooming!
>I want my country to be nuked because girls with coloured hair on twitter make me upset
The absolute state of you people. Have you ever considered that maybe you are the reason your country is garbage now?
I am Marco Rossi from Milan in Northern Italy and as a worried European I think we best surrender to mighty Russian bear lest we freeze this winter! I also do not want to die for uncivilized ukropiggies.
Indeed, i am Enzo Testarossa from Maranello and i worry how I will survive the -20C winters around here, we need to push for ending this as soon as possible
Kek, and burger airshitters run around with ratnik gear, history really is a flat circle
you can begin practicing sticking a shovel up your ass, so mighty ruzzian bear recognized his keen
I am Karlsson Bjorgsson from the Swedish Federation and i agree with you. Both Swedish and Finland should allign with Russia as quickly as possible so we can prevent the Hohols and HATO from committing acts of Nazism in Eurasia. They asked for this, but thankfully our glorious leader is a genius chessmaster so they have nowhere to go now.
>muh integration
I've never understood this. Did you just expect black people to sit around and be happy about being perpetual second class citizens for all eternity?
Black folk should be thankful the white man allowed them to live in a prosperous country. So they don't need to collect flies and smash them into steaks.
God bless the white man.
Imagine being so weak that you consider yourself beaten by gays and feminists.
>My country ended in 1865
You should take some initiative and try to resurrect that shithole anon. Killing traitors to my homeland has always been a wet dream of mine
Don't you have some hormones to take?
>my homeland
Brother, the homeland of Yankees isn't Dixie
Y'all realize the south got rid of slavery before the north did right? Never mind, liberals are the most brainwashed educated idiots the modern world can create
You aren't a "confederate" you weak, self pitying, cowardly gay.
t. actual southerner
I can visualise how obese are fingers typing this.
As a bonafide southerner I am required by law to call you a goofy homosexual. I hope you don't shoot up a grocery store when you inevitably decide that the only way out is down the barrel of a poverty pony AR15.
>my country ended in 1865
kill urself my man
I mean, if we follow your WW2 analogy, the Phony War period would have been the initial Russian invasion and annexation of Crimea back in 2014 and we're now currently in the "Polish Gangbang" stage.
Except this time, the Allies are actually helping Poland (Ukraine) out and Nazi Germany's (Russian Federation) plan of splitting it with the USSR (Poland) never materialised, because the USSR realised it was a moronic fricking idea and told Nazi Germany to go and bugger themselves with a cactus. This has led to Imperial Japan (The People's Republic of China) to have postponed their invasion of Korea (Taiwan) to see how this plans out for Nazi Germany and will probably go back to giving them the stink-eye for the time being.
Basically it's WW2 if the Allied powers had balls at the start and the USSR realised that the militant ethno-fascists probably wouldn't be happy with just a small piece of the cake instead of the entire thing.
>plan of splitting it with the USSR (Poland) never materialised
Fren, the whole "Lviv soon" meme is just that, a meme. Only radical nationalists took it seriously (also the same group with connections to certain russian businessmen that also happen to have connections to certain other far right groups in Europe).
Having said that Vilnus soon. The Lit*uanian vermin must be exterminated by fire and sword and Vilnus shall return to rightful owners.
You don't strike me as Polish
I understand that Hitler is the equivalent of satan and germans devil worshippers in modern day western creation myth but objectively the modern Rasha is much, MUCH closer to the USSR in every aspect. Specially Stalins period where also the commie regime governed like a mobster state while destroying the military inside out with corruption and power purges.
Modern china is also much closer to nazi regime Germany in both mentality, power structure and alleged capabilities despite what the le gommunism meme in its name alludes to.
So does that make India the up in coming superpower they will invade and bite off more than they can chew? Dont tell me we are going to have to deal with 80 years of Indian vatniks
>I am prepared to die a little bit
only a small amount of death
>I am prepared to die a little bit
Don't la petite mort yourself too hard at the thought of owning the libs, you demoralized virgin.
>Perhaps nuclear fire is the gaze of almighty God.
Even if it's coming from a Satanic country?
I am Johnny Hamburger from Texas USA and i too want to die in a nuclear war! Preach it tovarish! Z
The reality is that WW3 is never going to happen, you need more than one superpower for it to happen. Russia and China re not superpowers at all, the US literally has no peers in terms of military might.
Ich bin Fritz auf Frankfurt and you are entirely correkt, me too I vink ve should surrender to ze Russians zo ve kann keep buying ze Russian gaz!
>My country ended in 1865
this single post is funnier than all of the YLYL threads on this whole board for the past month combined. what a fricking snowflake
>Now child genital mutilation
Circumcision has been around a while
Imagine being this much of a dejected homosexual lmfao, kill urself my man
have a nice day
Preach it. All the redditors flooding this board will call you a Russian, or an Orc or whatever, but keep in mind, they are the same people who jerk off to firebombing women and children.
>My country ended in 1865
>my country ended before I was born and have no idea what life was like in the US in 1866
have a nice day moron
I too want the nukes to fly and to see every liberal ANTIFA shithole get wiped off the map just so the day of the rope can happen. Imagine a world without NYC, Tel-aviv, Moscow and Beijing.
>Imagine a world without NYC, Tel-aviv, Moscow and Beijing
It used to be like this before the 19th century
ignore all the blacked sissies replying to you my guy. you're based.
>My country ended in 1865
Lost cause southern homosexual, as equally buck broken by the big families of the south as any moskal serf is by Putin
that is if you aren't just a edgy contrarian anti-hipster younggay living in the fricking midwest
whats the tactical advantage of eating every piece of propaganda you come across?
What's the tactical advantage of failing to realize that it's all true? Even Solovyov admits that all the stockpiled kit that was supposed to be in reserve had been pilfered, you dumb Serb homosexual.
Yeah? What's the unit name? Where was this first posted?
wait until you see the asiatics in action, it will look like the airsoft tactical page on WISH.com and AliExpress .
>100K NCStar vests and BDU's heading your way
wtf? they mobilized GSP?
it is probably given to function as a chest rig. I doubt that even russians are that stupid
At least it fits.
Buy extra large in China. It's small for whitoids.
OMFG
Motherfrickers be handing out gorgets like it's the 18th fricking century again.
That thing is fine. he is just a big guy
Tourist here, what's the difference between airsoft and non-airsoft plate carriers other than quality of materials? I mean if you have level 4 plates does it really matter if your plate carrier is Made in China?
inb4: mobiki don't have level plates
The plate inside only protects against airsoft.
>one stops 0.2g of plastic moving about 1/4 the speed of sound
>other stops 8g FMJ rounds traveling twice the speed of sound
There's a difference between carriers and what goes in them anon. Work on your reading comprehension.
Aside from quality of materials and design/ergonomics, if it holds plates properly its fine at least for a little while. I'd bet every cent I have that they aren't getting plates issued either though
So the russian army is buying their equipment from Aliexpres now?
If you're you can buy decent armor there
>if you're lucky
Always has.
It was actually shitty Belarussian knockoffs of cheap Chinese knockoffs.
remember those days
>man they're a mess, look at this embarrassing shit, wouldn't it be funny if russia just lost
Stalinium armor
OK, so that explains the clip of "Ukkie volunteers" unpacking airsoft armor that they were parading recently.
It was projection. Again.
Probably chinesium UHMWPE armor. That would feel light and toylike compared to steel or ceramic.
Haitian mobs are better equipped than these dudes holy frick
You're not supposed to have potemkin bulletproof vests ffs
It would be nice though. 🙁
Cultivating slave mentality
>Ruskies using airsoft gear
>Westoid airsofters using ratnik
Nice
>get tied up and dropped in a pit of crocodiles
normal people: *struggle to save themselves*
slaveniks: Hahaha, very funny tovarish good night.
America has been giving Russia the old airsoft switcheroo for decades now
Honestly given the likely state of Russian battlefield medicine I wouldn’t even bother with armor beyond a bump cap, gloves, boots, eye pro, and 1 knee pad. If something legit hits me I’d rather be dead than live as some crippled bastard in Russia.
I don't see how Russians aren't killing themselves out of shame at this point, or at least taking out their commissars, corrupt supply officers, and voenkomat apparatchiks.
Literally the most servile 'people' on the planet.
I honestly believe that the Chinese are a more worthy opponent.
>wear airsoft gear
>no need to call hits
Genius. The Russians can just zombie their way to Kiev and just spawn camp the Ukrainians into submission.
fricking Russians are so confused why desertion rates are so high????
>airsoft vest with holes in it
>first aid kit covered in mold
>expired mre
>helmet that can get squashed with a punch
>rusty ass ak with no optics
>chinese aliexpress drones for cover and recon
is this the new meta /k/?
It's highly economical and allows the money to be spent on other more important things at any rate.
that's ugly as frick lmao russia is full of proper palaces it's not like it's america why did monke choose that as his residence???
I desperately want Ukraine to flatten this monstrosity. Where is it
Just checked. It could easily be done, it's on the black sea coast
44.419°N 38.205°E
Please Ukraine. It's likely a valid military target as it's guaranteed to have air defense on site
To be fair, no amount of body armor is going to save you from getting droned, might as well fight without too much weight dragging you down.
From what I've seen in drone videos, leg, ass and crotch armor would really help.

Both cheaper than giving them real plates and better for morale than giving them nothing
For canonfodder this makes perfect sense
Some armor is better than no armor.
I want to feel bad for these guys, but at this point it's vatnik own damn fault for not revolting, if corruption and mismanagement got to these levels in the military than it's probably not far off in the rest of the security aparatus, riot cops might be better supplied, but i doubt that they can contain russians if they start to revolt en masse
the problem is that there are plenty of ultra-nationalist that blame the rest of the world for russia's corruption
Well, statistics said that body armor has more psychological protection than real
He was already forced to make a video apology by Chechens. It's on Telegram.
