Default Web Gear Fun

Now this is going to be interesting. . .

Soviet web gear is probably the most frustrating subject, in part because they apparently didn't spend too many rubles on the concept.

Most Soviet infantry during the period were issued a belt, a 3 or 4 mag pouch, gas mask bag (with mask), and web braces, if lucky. Everything else was expected to be carried aboard the APC. Chest webbing, either Chicom or Russian copies, were particularly common in Afghanistan. Some troops would make their own out of rifle slings and belt pouches.
