I would not like to mislead anyone, but a new scheme of green camouflage, such as in the pictures above from rehearsal for the Victory Day Parade, appeared around 2007, when the defense minister of the Russian Federation was Anatoly Serdyukov.

no, i talk about the brown cammo pattern, is similar to american?

 

[Conhoon]

This camouflage pattern is already several years old, it can also be called "desert" due to the colors used. Like many others were inspired by the Canadian "CADPAT" and derivatives - "MARPAT", "UCP" ... Even before the Russian intervention in Syria, it could be seen, among others, as a material in winter and arctic uniforms.

Dat 70s flair though

 

[Conhoon]

Yes. Old helmets, some equipment, AKM carbines... But in every army it is similar, old equipment is used everywhere until stocks last. And KLMK overalls really camouflage in spring.

Forget about the gas mask, an assault rifle is AK-12

 

[Stormovik]

Forget about the gas mask, an assault rifle is AK-12

IIRC it´s not an AK12, but the modernized AK74M also known as AK74M3 (new buttstock, handguard, pistol grip).

313 OOB PDSS, Baltic Fleet.

IIRC it´s not an AK12, but the modernized AK74M also known as AK74M3 (new buttstock, handguard, pistol grip).

How can you tell? there have been very few photos of AK-74M3 unlike those of AK-12. If you have some, please share.

 

[Stormovik]

Just the reverse, most of the modern AK rifles seen lately have been AK74M3 not AK12. I think that I have downloaded the photoset where that the photo we are talking about is included, so I will look for them. Meanwhile, some pics of the 810 OBrMP, Black Fleet using AK74M3.

Just found the photoset. Cadets from the 242 NBC Warfare Training Center on a field exercise wearing the new PMK-4 gas mask. They are also using AK74M3 assault rifles, Valdai and Eotech sights

 

[berkut76]

Thank you. Honestly, never seen those. Looks like an airsoft tifle on the first glance. Also do you know the name of the red dot sight and if there a replica of it?

 

[Stormovik]

The red dot sights are Valdai PG-210 sights, and until now there is no replica that I know about it. I have seen the real ones on sale for around 500 dollars.

AK74M3 are not very common, so it´s not strange that you haven´t seen them. The modernization kits appeared on 2015 but it seems that Russian Army is not in a hurry of getting and distributing them.

 

[Ratnik]

IIRC it´s not an AK12, but the modernized AK74M also known as AK74M3 (new buttstock, handguard, pistol grip).

Yes. AK-12 - the tests are completed, while working with the product the customer identified a number of deficiency that were eliminated. Now the Concern "Kalashnikov" is waiting for the final decision of the Defense Ministry.

 

[Stormovik]

AK-12

Different barrel lenght, different front and rear sights from AK74M or AK74M3

 

[Ratnik]

Highly possible, that after the improvement, troops will get a version of AK-12 slightly differ from that see at the photo.

And gas mask PMK-4 is already supplied to the Russian Army:

"The new gas mask PMK-4 is fully integrated into the individual equipment "Ratnik-2" and adapted for perspective models, was accepted on supply of armed forces of Russia.

According to Igor Kirillov, the head of the troops of radiation, chemical and biological protection of the armed forces major general, new gas mask combines all the good technical solutions used in the world practice of creation of means of individual protection of respiratory organs.

The helmet-gas mask made of synthetic butyl rubber and silicone of domestic production, provides comprehensive protection and by elasticity exceeds of the best samples of foreign production. The technical level of the gas mask PMK-4 is not inferior to the best foreign analogs, but by the main protective and operational characteristics it exceeds them by 1.5-2 times.

The technical solutions implemented in the gas mask of PMK-4 will be used to develop a gas mask in the interests of the Arctic troop. The issues of the mask compatibility with winter sets of combat equipment of servicemen will be worked out as well as the features of its operation in the conditions of the Far North."
