Ukraine: The Return of UCP
jk, although the camo doesn't look particularly effective if I'm being honest.
Yeah, not totally certain how they came about this scheme. Its like UCP, but golden. I guess its the same idea is applied where the more wear and dirt it gets the better it blends. Not sure tbh.
Trial and error honestly. Before they adopted that, they adopted a blue digital TTSKO that lasted all of about 2 months before being phased out of major service and becoming restricted to officer cadets.
It's actually third generation TTSKO and when you look at the older generations of digital TTSKO you can see the resemblance.
It's a pretty effective camouflage in the urban areas where Ukrainians have seen a lot of fighting, and besides that they have multiple other uniforms in use that are pretty effective anyway.
What's Nia?
Honestly not sure. Got the helmet with it on. I assume it was used in training and was just some designation used by an armory or battalion. Its a pretty well worn helmet.
This is great. Original and refreshing!
Lovely.
Thanks! I wanted to do something that was different and unique. It took a long time to find sellers for all this stuff, but im really happy with how it all worked out.
What sellers did you use?
oh gosh, a ton. All through Ebay. I got most of through one guy who doesnt sell anymore because he moved to another country and was selling all his stuff. The guy I got the plate carrier from only puts his stuff up for sale at totally random periods and only for a few days at a time. Really it was more or less luck that I was able to find all this stuff. All the patches and the boots came from different sellers as well.
I basically just started looking on ebay "Ukraine military" and things along those lines until I started to find sellers with real stuff. Seems most of them are inactive or gone now though.
Haha you're going to hate me.
There's a website called military.biz.ua that sells everything Ukrainian related. He's quite reliable, I've ordered off him before.
Funny enough, the guy who runs that site also has an Ebay and now that I look at the names, I got my PC and uniform from that guy lol. His Ebay name is SergeiK I believe. I also had Ebay buyer guarentee when I bought it through that. I did get my helmet for more than half off from another seller though. I did use that site a ton for refrence when I started looking for the offical names of the gear. He was a good seller, and one of the best I had to deal with from Ukraine.
I can't fucking believe this. I just bought a full Ukrainian kit a week ago and am waiting on it to arrive.
Same
Nice! I've literally never seen anyone else with UA kit so thats hype.
Just about everything in this kit is authentic gear, the hat obviously isnt and the helmet is a size to small to wear. All the other gear is genuine issue.
