Russian Tanker's DCU

[Phosphorus32]

I got this battle field pick up of a Russian Tanker's digital camouflage uniform off of a Facebook site run by Ukrainian servicemen and their supporters. I think it's an interesting bit of militaria that is part of history in the making.

Putin is gonna want that back!!   

Interesting find.   Now you need a T90M to go with it and complete your collection.

I'm sure he would, but spoils of war and all of that stuff 

They do auction parts from tanks on occasion, so it's possible

Thats a good find. ill have to post the captured uniform my friend in Kharkiv sent me. Same current Russian army camo but no patches. I have the pants and the jacket. He sent me this before it has seemed to become a big surplus business.

You should hunt down a padded tanker helmet with the built in comms gear. I see a lot of them liberated in the current war on ebay and other sites. Seen them as cheap as $89.
