| BASIC: |
| THIS IS THE STANDARD ISSUE FOR ALL NE-SOV ARMED FORCES PERSONNEL |
DOG TAGS- personal means of
Identification, no longer metal, these are made of
highly durable transparent smart plastic which stores
all the soldiers relevant medical data readable in any
computer with a bar code reader. Note that Russian
dog-tags aren’t at all similar to US ones – they
aren’t worn in pairs, just a single one. Only the
surname and ID number of the wearer is engraved on
that, pre-cut to allow breaking it into half (one half
to be left with body, the other taken as a proof of
soldier’s death). Also, Russian troops carry these on
their necks by the means of soft plastic fibbon,
instead of a chain. Also issued is a Military I.D.
card, which in addition serves as a debit card |
![]() FOOT LOCKER- your standard footlocker, used for storing the personal belongings and extra gear. |
| LARGE DUFFEL (LAUNDRY) BAG- your standard military carry bag, these haven't changed much. |

jacket and pants, cammo patterns will vary depending
on duty. Feature sown on kneepads and Elbow pads, and

pockets, and 2 buttock pockets. The winter uniform

These do have limited durability, but Russian Army has immeasurable amounts of them and can usually deliver you new one every time you need it – either because the previous one has fallen apart, or because you’re going to fight in different terrain than before. |
| T-SHIRTS- the old favourite, telnyashka (2 pair of each long sleeve, t-shirt and narrow-arm, sleeveless, the shirts keep the traditional blue-and-white stripes of the original Navy one put into use over a century ago.

soldiers coming at you wearing this monstrous armor is
enough to make most villagers wet themselves in fear.
Comparable to the Arasaka ORC suits, or the Militech
HAL-O5 armor, but offering even more protection this
armor is heavy, cumbersome, but extremely effective.
It also features a built in heater, to keep
hypothermia from setting in during the cold Russian
winters, and an AC unit (tech stolen from the EDF
metal Gear) to keep their soldiers from killing
themselves in the grueling heat of the deserts or
jungles of the world. The helmet features Short Range
Radio compelte with level dampener, and the optics
include Smart Link, Times Square, Ultraviolet,
Thermoptics, Anti-Dazzle, and Tele-optics. The
standard infantry (shown left) and Special

appearance. There is an advanced version just now
going through final testing, that offers true
interface (dropping the EV to 0), thermal dampening,
and boosts the wearers running speed (MA+2). |

THE NEO-SOVIET MILITARY. Accepting of a wide variety of
features and accessories, this weapon fires 5.56 mm
ammunition and typically has a 40mm grenade launcher
or 25mm grenade launcher/shotgun combo mounted to it.
A very sturdy weapon, the Neo-Sov's are currently
looking to upgrade to a larger caliber to compete with
the American and EDF weapons chambered in 10mm rifle.
(see AUTUMN
BLADE for more info) |
![]() ROSTOVIC HUR-101/KAAR-60- This weapon is currently
being issued to Special Forces groups and combat
personell in hostile territories, and is foremost
candidate for the next Neo-Soviet standard issue
assault rifle. It fires 7.62mm ammunition, much more
in line that the 5.56 of the M-802. They also sell
this extremely well to the Mexican Military, but few
other countries are interested, or can afford, to buy
them in such bulk.(see AUTUMN
BLADE for more info) |

| DRAGUNOV COGR-65Z |
| RIF - +5 - N - R - 9D6-2 (6.5mm cased ETE) - 10 - 1 - VR |
| The latest Russian sniper weapon, a bullpup configured bolt action rifle with an extended barrel and built in flip down bipod. The weapon also has built in smart link and comes electrothermally enhanced straight out of the box. This is one of the most accurate rifles in the world, it's only real downfall is its rare ammunition. 6.5mm is hard enough to find, much less ETE, but at least you don't have to worry about your enemy picking up your spare ammo and using it against you. |

SKODA DAAG-3 - the Czech disposable
anti-tank rocket launcher, built under license in

unlike the LAW it can be re-used. (Equivalent to
American LAW, see Blackhands Streetweapons for more
Info) |
![]() STOVOLBOY BRZ-76- Heavy sniper rifle, often Snipers will take it upon themselves to electrothermally enhance this weapon. (see AUTUMN BLADE for more info)) |

| RIF - -1 - N - R - 7d6+2 (7.62mm caseless) - 45 - 1/3/20 - ST |

Issued almost exclusively to troopers wearing the Deep-Eyes armor, it is supposed to be for cutting through barbed wire, fencing, and other obstacles, of course if a human being happens to get in the way, well thats dogfood... |
| RUSSIAN ANTI-PERSONEL MINE - The Neo-Soviet equivalent of the venerable Claymore type weapon. (See Blackhands Street Weapons for details) |

| DYEGTARYEV DFST-845 590eb |
| FLM - +1 - L - P - 5d6 (5.56mm cased) - 30 - 1/3/18 - VR |
| Compact enough to work as a submachinegun, this weapon is commonly issued to special forces, guards, tank crews, and anywhere else where inflicting maximum damage is as important as space preservation. |
CYBERNETICS:MILITARY CYBERNETICS are for the most part implanted only in circumstances where there are no alternatives, and are usually the most basic model available, such as standard cyberlimbs and optics etc..... |
