THE FAIR NUMBER OF, THE UNDERPAID, THE OVERWORKED
An impression of a member of the Military Police Directorate, Russian Ground Forces.
Featuring the following components,
-the 6B47, a GOST II (NIJ II equivalent) standard issue protective helmet seen in most applications by the Russian Armed Forces, having integrated mounts, albeit barely used, for a 6E2 (FSS-014) head light and night observation devices. This particular 6B47 is a faithful, accurate reproduction by markus.ru, graciously borrowed from sir Mark A. Casintahan for this post.
-the 6B45, the successor to the 6B23 series and prior with standard plates (not seen with this particular unit) rated from GOST 5A to GOST 6A, featuring shoulder sausages for shoulder handling and rear pack strap securing, a quick release system, the UMBTS (MOLLE) system, a drag handle, aramid soft armour and climate pads. This unit is one of only a confirmed three issued units owned in the Philippines.
-the 6SH122, a reversible-pattern oversuit meant to be worn over standard issue uniforms; this particular unit, the only third generation unit in the Philippines, features three-point suspension, adjustable fitment points on the cuffs, upper and lower legs, IR remission coatings, a mesh veil, and two shoulder pockets.
-the MP Brassard, featuring two velcro tabs, has two patches designating the initials "MP" in the Latin alphabet and "ВП" in Cyrillic, as well as one featuring the Western Military District.
-the officer's planshet, a tablet bag that is issued with most MPs, as well as unit officers in units; featuring a fair amount of space and slots for a map, stationery and documentation. This particular unit was owned by an active MP stationed in the city of Mirny in Arkhangelsk Oblast by the initial I. Lebedev.
And for this specific set, an issued map of the Plesetsk locality, issued to the same I. Lebedev during his time in the MPD.
Equipment except 6b47 sourced through Elbrus Armourial.
