[Harine 40]

Many errors 05B3S.

The VSR is VERY VERY VERY used by Russian Army in 95-97.

According to these pictures, VSR was quite common.

There are mostly 7th Airborne and VV troops. Don't You see soviet VDV patches? Or black Kora-1 body armor? The only pics with infantry (245th MRR) are #21, #23, #24 and #25.

I'll try to post some more pics

276th MRR. The only unit that stormed Grozny twice. Summer 1996.

I think that's enough. If someone has more questions, you may ask freely. I gladly provide all reference info that I have.

johncage, I just wanted to say how much fun I am having with your units, it has me doing something that i dont often do in Arma2...play instead of stuffing around in the editor.

Great work mate thanks!!

Sorry, I didn't notice that they are all VDVs or VVs.

Maybe johncage could add some Infantry units and change the existing units to VDVs. Wouldn't be so much more work than reworking the existing models to Motorrifle Troops.

[05B3S 10]

Frankly speaking, making the addon of correct mid-90's era russian infantry is the most difficult thing in all russian\soviet oriented addonmaking. Now the addon is really more closed to VDV

[DiFool 0]

VV, FSB, VDV, VS, Cossacks: ÐšÐ°ÐºÐ°Ñ Ñ€Ð°Ð·Ð½Ð¸Ñ†Ð°?

I like the addon. Just leave the patches away and it fits.

If You need "something about russian", You may use default BIS units ;)

[johncage 30]

i often see those vog pouches hanging at thigh level. any idea how it's being held there?

anyway, here's a wip of the reworked vog pouch:

[05B3S 10]

any idea how it's being held there?

One belt across the chest, the other around the waist.

Very nice units johncage! But the medic can't seem to heal anyone, a bug I guess? That's an issue I haven't seen anyone mention here.

The medic doesn't inherit from a medic class and doesn't have 'attendant'. So yes, a config bug.

[DiFool 0]

And the leader should have a few more mags and grenades.

[vilas 473]

just add

attendant=1;

[KingN 249]

Oh and forgot to mention, the Vityaz squad leader has an odd dark shadow on the top of it's head.

"Vityaz". February 1996. The assault of Novogroznenskoye.

NPO SM winter suits, ANA M-V or V-95 vests, RD-54s, 2nd Gen. AKS's (with plum handguard).

[Harine 40]

Let me correct a tiny mistake.

This is Not NPO-SM Winter Suit.

This is a "Gran" winter suit. And camouflage called "SMK". On the picture is a SMK Urban. But there is also a version Woodland.

Some Photos of the "Gran" Winter Suit:

[johncage 30]

thanks for the photos and the medic advice. the dark spot on the head is probably a shadow lod. i will fix it.

LOL. It's very interesting to see how the western collectors are trying to feign designation which never existed. :) Many "thanks" to Mr. Desmond.

SMK in nothing more then "Специальный маÑкировочный коÑтюм". "Gran" was a little commercial company not official MVD supplier. Many private companies made clothing or backpacks in this pattern in 90's.

Early 90's MVD gear must have early ANA's "Star" or NPO SM's "Shield" markings. In 1st war official suppliers of MVD were only ANA and NPO SM.

I have a lot of MVD gear including both of these suits

http://i039.radikal.ru/1102/d5/09a19e9849c6.jpg

and some vests

http://s50.radikal.ru/i130/1102/79/a8395622e43d.jpg

This camo patterns NEVER had an official designations with the exeption of the upper left "Kaskad-2" vest

[Harine 40]

So because I am a Western collector I have no knowledge on the subject?

I was honest with you, be correct also.

Know that the Russian army did not use only what he distributed and even now. SSO is a private company, but is not the official distributor of the FSB, yet they all use.

The version of "Gran" is more comfortable than the NPO. I have both and I know what I mean. And the Russians have used, NPOs and Gran.

Desmond's book, I did not.

And the name that everyone uses is "SMK" in the West and even Russian friends also use this name. After you use a different name too bad for you.

Stop with your story, I am "Russian " so I know everything better than everybody. Like the Russian army and Russia and I am passionate about since I was little.

Otherwise very good equipment, I love your vest and your 2 winter suit NPO
