I need some of your guys' help. I'm planning on doing an impression based around Kamysh(non Urban), but I've been unable to find a kit list or an airsofter who has posted up a completed impression using Kamysh. From the research I've done Kamysh was mostly used during Chechnya and by the MVD. So if anyone could provide a basic kit list(webbing, headwear, etc.) that used Kamysh as the BDU camo pattern that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you to anyone that can provide information.

isn't a smersh, think it's more like the splav harnass system

 

That is a SMERSH, it's just the MODOX style. It lacks a lot of the support and refinements of the SPOSN version, consider it a SMERSH-Lite. I looked at buying it and ultimately decided to get the SPOSN offering - I'm glad I did.

You guys got any links to current/fairly recent issue Russian boots? Or links to something that will look similar?

My Marine Issue Belleville Gortex just don't cut it for the Russian stuff :P

 

The MVD summer ones on the page linked below look to be the ticket, but are a bit pricey. Am I looking to spend 80+ from most retailers?

There is also something along these lines.

Just so you know those are Ukrainian boots, be carefull as many/most sellers use a lot of imagination with their product descriptions!

 

The Trident ones are a good option but if they are a bit costly for you try Red Soldier for Russian 'look' boots.

 

Hope that helps you out,

Get the NPO-SM boots Dmitry sells. I guess they're widely used by the MVD and several RA members have them and seem to like them. If I recall correctly they're 80USD.

 

Oh, and a picture now that my suspension is up

Can anyone point me in the direction to get the 5 cell AK chest rigs? I saw them on pics from Soviet-Afghan war and have never seen one for sale anywhere but on occasion see one owned by a member of the forums.

 

Ebay

This shop usually has them also (not at the moment though, check in a few days)

I know you can get a 4 cell chi-com (which are pretty scarce compared to the normal 3 cells) but I've never even heard of a 5 cell one.

 

I suspect you may be refering to a soldier made rig which was the most common thing to do during the war. If you could post a pic of the rig you are looking for it would help to narrow the search as there were a wide range of rigs used by the Soviets.

Dont get the 5 Cell chicom the pouches dont fit AK mags i got one and it arrived last week. i made the mistake of giving my 3 cell chicom to a friend b4 the 5 cell arrived and he butchered it to put molle on it b4 the 5 cell arrived (which would of suited him better) the 5 cell just about managed to hold 1 M4 mag per cell. I will get i picture up in the next few minutres if i can.
