Apologies for the thread hi-jack but... Been toying around with the idea of putting a russian load together for a while and was wondering what do you reckon would be the best Russian Camo for the Irish climate. Obviously it varies site by site but in general what would you recommend? Was looking at flora but would appreciate soom input.
Cheers
P.S. yes I have seen those pictures of those russians wearing multi cam and no

flora is a good all round camo, think of it as the Russian dpm worls well and you can pick up a new set for about 40usd
I rather like the partizan summer and autumn , based of the German designs from the 40s, the gorka suits are great for are weather and hard wearing, the partizan over suit is a nice light weight outfit which has a brightish side for spring summer and a reversible subdued side for winter.
left to right
plan gorka-a , gorka-d ss autumn, gorka-d ss summer, partizan suit
as firekitten said vsr is on the left
or you could go for the omon experimental riot uniform.......it work honest

lol run my dear run
anyway your right or course in terms of pattern smog is the Russian dpm i was kinda aiming at another meaning but unfortunately not clear, i refereed to it as there dpm as it is meant to be Russian army general issue since the early 90
s ? you still see it in wide spread use in training and parades especially with vdv but for combat with the habit of Russian forces to buy there own gear this rather gets diluted with gorka partizan klmk suits dug up from stores stuff like that, just search for pictures of the Georgian conflict to see the pick and mix approach to camo even within units
smog does seem to be wide spread with internal forces like the mvd, but then they an even wider remit for buying there ow equipment from camo to optics, thats before you even get into the subject of company's 'sponsoring' top units :rolleyes:
vdv georgia flora

On I got your meaning Pud, I was just being funny with the meanings....
Mainly the mvd's lack of uniformality is due to the lack of funding. They get thier hands on what they can, and use it. You'll see everything from RD54s to Smersh gear in use today KLMK to vsr.
However flora is indeed most prominent today, vsr is coming up fast, as is the new digital i forget the name of.
In terms of irish conditions... id have to say flora is a tad too light... FlectarD or partizan autumn perhaps are more blendyiny between now and atleast april.
Though nothing beats KLMK in the summer

true and driven by the inadequacy of issue equipment, and there large freedom to purchase private gear,Mainly the mvd's lack of uniformality is due to the lack of fundingvsr is coming up fast
you are aware that vsr's issue pre dated that of flora? although you do still see a far bit about, especially issue body armour
the pictures i selected where done to highlight the diversity but there has been a magor c change in the russian forces with a large amount of uniformity being brought in, with the increase in spending again, this contrast between the rag tag and uniformity was highlighted greatly in the Georgian conflict
but agree klmk is rather nice, works partially well in summer with a lot of light and shadows, again a 1980 piece of kit going strong 0 -
