You know coming out of the US Marine Corps sometimes it was hard to think of ourselves as being "advanced" in many ways. We got the hand me downs, the guys I worked with were goofs, and logistics were all kinds of fucked up. Then I worked with other NATO militaries and see stuff like this and it really made me realize how much better our gear really is compared to most countries -- even if it is considered old and outdated by US military standards. Also the cohesiveness and overall professionalism in the field really shined through.
Well, nobody spends as much as U.S
@@ASS_ault well, how bad is it ?
@@Kevin-fj5oe their airforce is the worst part, at one point they had less than 10% aircraft readiness. And that’s 10% of an already very small fleet
@@tomsoki5738 well, a shame considering they're EU economic top dogs.
I’m a current reservist in the army and even though some of our 50 cals are dated anywhere from the 70’s to the 90’s our equipment is surprisingly modern with night vision, optics, and even newer vehicles with the CROWS on at least half the vehicle fleet. I feel the same way as half of us are goofy as shit but we practice many scenarios that does give me confidence about the unit.
After you have completed testing and showcasing Russian equipment, it would be awesome if you did the same series of videos with ‘’modern” Chinese equipment.
Lmao
Sure if I can get it I will test it
le us import ban
@@Oxide_does_his_best use the Norinco Steel core
Chinese equipment is like their products, cheap as shit. Most of the equipment budget goes into the gun, the rest of the uniform is as cheap as chinese plastic.
It makes me think of when we in the US military started transitioning from Cold War era stuff into the more modern gear around the early-mid 2000s. It took a while for more of the new stuff to be more widely issued. I still remember when the new gear was only being issued to units preparing to deploy overseas to OEF and later OIF. In the USMC I still remember seeing the weird mixing of new and old equipment and uniform items. Seeing the Russians go through that same, slow phasing in of new equipment isn't surprising.
Yeah. Loved the digital green camo in the desert in early 2000’s.
My brother trained with the M14 on Paris Island and the very night before he was deployed they were notified they would be issued M16’s. No training. No handling. Gotta love it.
It was better back then…
“Raw-er” equipment means better troops…
@@z1ll4jr53 by that logic a man with a rock is the worlds most lethal fighting force
@@j4y167
You really don’t get it…
@@z1ll4jr53 I do get it, but at a certain point when does "raw" become just horribly outdated?
I had a depressing thought the other day. Being a groundpounder has always been the job that has soldiers in the most "suck" but in the modern age, it is truly incomprehensible the amount of infantry deaths there would be if engaging a peer force. Weapon system lethality has reached a level of efficiency that scares the crap out of me. Airburst smart munitions fired from armored vehicles that render defilade pointless, thermals/NVGs that make camouflage/night cover obsolete, AGMs that have an error radius of mere meters. If the engagements such as the recent Azerbaijan-Armenia conflict or Taliban offensives are indicators of fighting against an enemy with near or similar capabilities as yours, entire platoons can be wiped out in the blink of an eye. There's no hiding, only praying that your side's countermeasures can hopefully save your life and prevent instant vaporization.
yep, it sure is. I can remember the first time watching the combat footage of Azeri drones absolutely obliterating entire Armenian armored battalions and infantry platoons (as well as the statistics of the casualties suffered), which absolutely blew my mind of how devastating a near-peer conflict could be.
It is for that very reason that many see the future of infantry combat relegated to subterranian and dense urban environments. The surface has become hyper lethal, so much so that in order to survive the infantry simple cannot fight in the open.
@@justnukeit8128 That's actually nothing new. Troops caught on in the open during WWII had artillery called on them immediately. People forget how incredibly bloody WWII was. They may have not had smart munitions, but the artillery back then was PLENTY accurate as were the snipers. Any modern war with a near-peer enemy would resemble the casualty levels of WWII. As far as weapons like showcased in the recent Armenian /Azerbajan war, the precision guided artillery strikes largely depended on drones. Drones would likely be rendered obsolete due to intense jamming via electronic warfare units. Likewise, smart artillery munitions designed to penetrate the top armor of tanks can often be defeated by the simple edition of roof-top ERA blocks. Things like airburst munitions are also nothing new. They were used in WWII to deadly effect. However that's why infantry train to build overhead cover using timbers and sandbags. Our Army also has HEMMT based (and trailer mounted) mobile concrete mixers that allow for rapid construction of thick concrete bunkers and other field fortifications. That combined with laser jamming systems, IR jammers, active protection systems, and a whole host of other counter-measures and it would boil down to which side had the best leaders, the best soldiers, and most importantly, the political willpower to win the fight. Getting air superiority would also be critical. That is why Russian forces invest heavily in a very wide range of air-defense systems including cutting-edge self-propelled anti-air artillery gun systems (SPAAGs) that use IR detection systems (instead of radar) coupled with digital AI technology that make them difficult to jam or decoy. Likewise their huge array of short, medium, and long range surface to air missile systems are formidable.
So yeah... that would be a horrific war between the U.S. and Russia or the U.S. and China (who also have many advanced systems). Nobody wants to see that. Besides most U.S. military folks actually like Russian military personnel and have a lot of respect for them (and vice-versa) as both sides did a good job killing terrorists in Syria.
Don't even have to look at those conflicts, the gulf war showed how deadly conventional warfare is - 300 (mostly blue on blue) killed vs 20k-50k killed. I don't think major armies will ever go toe to toe again, the risk is so high, war would have to be played out over thousands of kilometres, or deep underground haha

Y'know, solid observation with the "older kit can still be seen", because man, I've seen more standardised and modern milita groups.
Another one mistaking the Russian army to the separatist militias learn the difference
there is an obvious disparity between regular army, rosgvardia, literal cops, PMCs, and the locally raised battalions which were formerly militia

I have to say, your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorite on the topic of military gear. You deserve plenty of recognition for these great videos.
Honestly really impressed with this video had a lot of information I really wanted to know and the night footage and shown variance over gear production is something I hadn’t heard of before!
Our lord has blessed us today with this video.
Yes 😀😀👑🙏
Ratnik is looking pretty nice and neat.

This video is an absolute masterpiece, awesome work dude!
Screw the GSSH headsets
can confirm from personal experience: they break... super easily
and their design isn't friendly to repairs so if they break, usually nothing you can do :(
but
when, and that's a big "when", they work, they work pretty decently well.
I bought the 6m2 version w/o microphone and I haven't really seen any issues and I beat the shit out of it in -17c
There is M version of these, much better quality
@@wolfdima just buy peltor
the GSSH headset is the only piece of Ratnik gear I own. they feel super cheap and worst of all, every day you use it that thing needs 2 new AA batteries.
@@frankpolly if you use peltors you'll find a pretty similar battery drain.
I find the Peltors are more durable though.
Imagine being a random dude just accidentally walking into their filming thinking what the fuck you just stumbled upon.

> comes with a standard pocket watch
This is actually genius, because over the last 20 years, people have stopped carrying watches, favouring cell phones.
Cell phones ARE NOT to be carried in the field, and so these makes sense. It's neat to see someone with some common sense being finagled into working for the military.
Its a cheap chinese replica unfortunately.

Thanks you so much for making this video. I have been thinking of getting the Ratnik 6m2 headsets as I have been wanting a under-helmet noise cancelling headset for a long time and was looking for info on those.
Good stuff, glad the gondola's came out so neat :D
Brigador soundtrack in the outro? A delight to hear!
Just a pleasure to watch
I can't wait for Oxide to cover more niche stuff, I kinda like forgotten camos, equipment and wars etc. Also great video as always u handsome firefighter
Wow, in the two videos I've watched, you played Brigador music, and Escape from New York music. I think I've found a good channel.
Ah, good old ratnik. The armor is pretty comfy to sleep in too! :D Great video mate.
Some of the Ratnik kit's shortcomings were noted in Ukraine, particularly the EMR camouflage pattern, which didn't really suit the terrain that well. What the MOD did was controversial but very smart IMHO: they issued soldiers with the standard issue kit that was available and gave the troops the green light to buy their own kit as they deemed necessary. The troops ended up massively buying earless or semi-earless helmets, corset body armor, and switched to multicam-like camo patterns that better suited the terrain. The MOD took note and introduced the "VKBO 3.0" uniform pattern and "Strelok" PPE in late 2023. They are currently issuing a batch of 25 thousand of the latter to the troops at the front, and they're a significant upgrade over the Ratnik kit.
EMR really just looks like a plain OD uniform at any kind of distance. Seems like a rather ineffective pattern no matter what terrain it's used in
@@Nathan-Roman it's pretty effective in the dense woodlands of the Russian Midlands, Belarus and Northern Ukraine. South-Eastern Ukraine is much less forested by contrast.
@alexeishayya-shirokov3603 My point is that I'd imagine something like MARPAT, CADPAT, or MCT would be even better in those environments because EMR is more similar to flat green than any of those other patterns; EMR seems to be a pretty mid pattern even in ideal conditions
@@Nathan-Roman point well taken, truth be told it was initially criticized for being too specific to a certain terrain and had to undergo several tweaks over the years. The latest version contains a bit of coyote brown to make it more versatile. Ideally I'd pick SURPAT over it, but the damn thing is patented and the proprietor (SRVV) charges an arm and a leg for it, so it's a no-brainer that the MOD just went for multicam.
@@alexeishayya-shirokov3603 It's hard to argue with Multicam, it sees the success it does because it is a true multi terrain pattern that actually works. Photos generally don't do it justice, but in real life it is very effective.
Great video. Find Russian infantry gear super interesting. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Production quality of the latest Oxide videos is incredible
If anyone is interested, 715 Team had a decent review of the "Pig" camo variant, but their whole channel is in russian. Maybe they will put out english subtitles if enough foreigners will complain.

Excellent analysis. Subbed.

When I saw the Digital camo pattern my first thought was
“There actually good camo”
It's actually a really good pattern.
@@tylerissla7139 Really cool looking too!
Can't wait for the last helmet pen test vid!
Grey Shop is good to go. I ordered a set of cummerbund tubes adapters for my jpc 2.0 from them while I waited for MOS Tactical to bespoke me a new set. They shipped the next day, and had them to me in less than a week from Moscow to Pennsylvania! Solid quality too, at a low cost.
I would very much like to see you go in depth on the older but still modern Russian equipment like the 6B23!
Looks like that "later desert digital" works well in that partially snowy environment
"Flesh" or porosyachka desert camo sometimes calls Syrian in Russia, because of it was made mostly for that terrain with red or pink send.
Sooo so so happy to see a video on the ratnik system
Hi! The song from 1:58 until 4:31 was made by me. It's a track called "Nikogda". I'd be a happy boy if you added it to the description. Thanks. :)

Great video as always. Could you do a video testing the Russians MRE in a field patrol but this time in the summer ? Just like the one you did sometime ago
Hey Oxide, excellent video as usual. You've likely answered my question before but I've never seen or heard it, and I've wanted to know since I noticed them in Arma.
@4:53 there is a still of your chest rig, and there are two silver cylinders, of which you can only see the cap, in pouches next to the magazine pouch.
What are these? I see them as a standard accessory on lots of Russian Riflemen.

I can second the quality of that earpro. I bought an older set a while back and kept running into issues of it turning off by itself even with fresh batteries, as well as whenever I tried to wear it with a helmet. I found the idea of using a mesh cap instead of a proper tension band interesting though.
It would be really interesting to see gear that was used in the Soviet Afghan war, and the Chechen wars

Its quite an improvement, but as you mentioned in response to another comment, it does feel like Russia still lags behind at least a decade in comparison to (for example) the average US infantryman, which is understandable considering their economy.
I wonder how the average PLA grunt fares in comparison, i can't find any decent information about their gear. As always, thank you for the video!
