First Chechen War Russian Urban Camo Vest Showcase (ANA Urban KKO VV1 Vest)

[@Fairfax_kit]

I appreciate the content. Compared to western gear, even from the time, Russian equipment just seems so unusual to me. It reminds me of cargo shorts.

[@Gr-zny]

Some Russian gear and camo designs are definitely quite unusual compared to western designs, and that is one of the many reasons why it’s so interesting!

[@rageingmachine9627]

the VV1 vest was a cheaper alternative to the V95 vest which can hold 8 mags, however the V, VV1, and the V95 vest were all used in the Chechen wars. I love that some one is now making videos about this stuff.,

[@Gr-zny]

Very interesting! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

[@Callsign_Ewok]

I love watching videos on vests in the gear world and this one was very interesting thanks for the awesome video!

[@Gr-zny]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

[@generalkenobi8644]

Great video, I was looking for some informations about this vest. Thanks a lot!

[@Gr-zny]

I’m glad you enjoyed!

@@Gr-zny I had an occasion to buy this vest when a was writing first comment, but in blue kamysh camo, and I MADE MYSELF A CHRISTMAS GIFT! ;)

[@PravosUmbra]

pretty awesome mate those retro aesthetics are the absolute best

[@Gr-zny]

Absolutely!!!

[@PineActual]

I have a blue Kamysh (Blue tiger stripe ), it’s super comfortable over the fur collared bulky winter jackets, it’s really sad to me I can’t double up my AK mags in the vest but whatever I use it only in the winter so.

[@Gr-zny]

Oh yes I have found most Russian vests to be quite comfy, but their practicality is questionable lol

[@quik478]

You should get redpilled on Orekh and Taliy sneg kamos, they were standart NPO SM camos of SOBR units and their Kora-1 and Kroa-2 vests during the first chechen war.

[@Gr-zny]

I’ve known about them for a while and have been trying to get uniforms in those camos, but they’re so incredibly expensive!

[@froginthewaves8450]

Hello, I recently picked up a full Splav M1 set in "city" camo which is basically blue les. Its looks like KKO but smaller in shape size, I was wondering if you had any information about Splav city camo and who used the m1 cut suit? thanks!

[@thomasweightman8706]

Love amoeba/KKO vests!

[@Gr-zny]

Same here!

[@walter-theunforgiven772]

Some small corrections, KKO is a made up name for the camo by Dennis Desmond, Vera/ANA and serviceman in general called it Amoeba. The VV1 was first seen in the autumn of 1996 so just after the first war. The blue amoeba variants are from 1997 the earliest. The pic you've shown of it being used is from 2000

[@Gr-zny]

Thank you for the corrections! What sources did you use? I usually have trouble finding reliable info on Russian gear like this

[@walter-theunforgiven772]

@@Gr-zny RedAlliance when it was still up and people who either had contact with a manufacturer or serviceman. If you want i can send some other pics of the vest being used.

[@CheekiSpyder]

[@Gr-zny]

Not itchy at all surprisingly

[@D13Edits]

[@Gr-zny]

There are none for sale at the moment

[@FoxyGuerrila77]

I’ve been collecting for a while now but my collection isn’t nearly the size of yours, how long has it taken you to collect all this?

[@Gr-zny]

I started collecting military items around 8 years ago and I started collecting specifically Russian gear 5 years ago

[@FSB1971]

😂😂 and I thought I am the only one who is adicted to russian camo. 😅. To be honest the chechen wars, didn't passed, without " touching " me at all.

[@shiosaren6772]

Interesting

[@saber1885]

Don't buy all the Russian gear, the Russians desperately need it! lol
