Awesome Video!
Cool, I can never find rpk specific mag pouches, I use some surplus French or British sling pouches I found at a surplus store for my 40s, I like to tape my 40s together tho, so a big dump/sling pouches works better
An excellently informative video, as always. To the point and factual: something that this platform sorely requires. Incidentally, are there any good reference materials on Fallschirmjager equipment? I recently came across what was advertised as a DDR jump helmet from 1990. I was only aware that the east German airborne used steel WZ. 63 helmets, but this example is made of plastic with leather padding around the rim and a Styrofoam filler. For the life of me, I can’t find any source to indicate any switch to this manner of helmet.
Iraq is an extremely fun military to study and collect. It has been interesting to see the British influence on their military (something overlooked here in my home of the USA). I'm working on an Iran-Iraq war Republican Guard kit right now
i just discovered that I can in fact, have even more Rifleman Moore content
I hope you enjoy the back catalogue here!
Waking up to a. DDR RPG pouch is a good omen for a Thursday.. thanks Simon…. It is a nice Scale of Issue you are recovering for the Republic..😉
Your videos often highlight holes in my collection! Thanks for continuing to produce your videos.
Thanks, love to see kits on D.D.R. , I wish I started to collect earlier. Thanks for all your help.
Outstanding tip. Thank you
More Op For kit vids pls!
Do you think the east german raindrop camo/brown splinter curved pouch can hold about how many nerf 10 round magazines that are curved. Please respond quick
Defiantly a Browning Hi power cleaning rod.
Very interesting. Thanks
I miss the Army Surplus Stores of the Eighties and Nineties…oh my lost youth ….. .
Hello Simon, I' like to correct you a little bit. The genuine Bundeswehr Parka was worn at least until the middle of the 1990ies. When I served with the Bundesluftwaffe (the Federal German Air Force) in 1994 and 1995, i was issued that item. And i managed to keep it in my possesion after the end of my service. I still have it today. Friendly greetings from Germany, Stefan
Many thanks Stefan, I appreciate the information.
I second that, I bought one fairly recently on my birthday last year, I went to Iornbridge last year and to an antiques store just below the bridge itself. And purchased an early 90s Bundeswehr parka, with 1991 on the tag, on the wool liner and inside the parka itself. So the Bundeswehr were probably issuing from the start of 1990 till the fall of the Berlin wall and after. As on the Surplus, market their very common and but very desireable especially in larger sizes too.
Do you know if berlin military is a trustable site?
If you are wondering what is written on the helmet كركوك ،كركوك Kirkuk, Kirkuk is a city in northern Iraq and وليد ، وليد رفيق Walid Rafiq is probably the soldier's name
Many thanks!
I got this on my recomended and thought to myself 10 minute long video about a helmet hell yeah. Also im glad you recovered
Good video.
I'm glad you're on the mend!
The MTL5 looks better as the leatherette doesn’t look cheap Mine works rock solid and I love using
could the last bottle be DRK? Red cross
I am mixed about the utv canteen. I appreciate the insulation foam but one would have to remove the whole canteen from the belt to use. Previous model you can try and take the bottle out of the cover....though maybe awkward. The two parts still separate from each other. Idk. Still a neat design
Excellent video.
Interesting video .
Nasty taste?….. the sweet flavour of DDR Petrol-chemical technology….the taste of The Republic.
My brother alerted me to the bad taste when drinking from the early NVA canteen many years ago. Thanks for the validation, interesting video 👍
Just a thought. In regards to OG 107 and Jungle Fatigues mixes...I can't help but wonder if you could be confusing the Jungle fatigue trousers with The OD field Pants?? The look very similar from a distance, and i can't imagine US GIs wearing OG 107 Shirts in combination with Jungle fatigue trousers. Ive never seen it before. Just my thoughts on the subject.
It's possible but not very likely, in my opinion. Firstly, it's very obvious from some of the photos shown that tropical combat jackets were worn with the standard OG-107 stateen trousers in some instances so it's not surprising thot think that the reverse combination would also occur. Going into this a bit deeper, the M-1951 field trousers weren't issued in country as far as I am aware. This makes sense given that the M-1951 field trousers are really part of the US cold weather uniform of the time, it's therefore logical to conclude that trousers shown in the photos are theatre appropriate tropical combat trousers. In addition, where the shirts are tucked in the photos show no evidence of the upper angle pocket flaps present on the M-1951 field trousers.
Will you be making a video looking at the M56 helmet?
Most likely, yes!
@@RMmilitarymiscellany Thank you. Cheers!
These things were a dime a dozen, during the Golden Age of Surplus back in the late 90s and early 2000's, still have mine...😊
Still pretty common but a lot more expensive now!
first!
You helmet.
It is a honour no one will ever try (or want to) take from you…,it is the way of Progressive Recovery of State Property.
Most of the Iraqi soldiers had no intention to fight. They surrendered at the first sign of resistance. The "4th largest military" was also a misnomer. Iraq had a lot of ghost soldiers, and the "soldiers" they had, fired 5-10 rounds in training. Remember, even in it’s absolute peak capability (early Iran-Iraq war era) Iraqi army would lose battles regularly against sanction riddled Iran. They had no chance against the coalition.
This small pocket is for medical bandage
The 80s army surplus shop look was the era look....good video,
He needs to watch actual videos not just make it up
Lafuma produced a rucksack for the french in the 1950's used in the indochina war. It had an X frame, with two large outside pockets, it was this pack, made of canvas and leather, combined w some coveted features of the Communist rucksacks, and M1910 grommet attachment points along w new 1956 US equipment that contributed to the ARVN rucksack, which combined with the US mountain pack lead to the development of the lightweight rucksack and the Jungle rucksack which retained the X frame from its original French design made by Lafuma.
I have two of these, one unissued the other slightly used. I am proud to own them but feel like ALICE packs are far superior even though not as valuable
The buttons below the press to talk button on the handset sends a tone when pressed. I have also found these radios will operate with a standard 9v battery if you wish to test its functionality.
Many thanks for the information, much appreciated!
I think the west Germans used a similar helmet too.
I have a Grenztruppen officer cap dated 1984. I love to collect those stuff. Hope to see more!
So many conscripts were slaughtered for one man’s ambitions.
So many people were slaughtered in the interests of US HEGEMONY. No US interference..... No resistance, no terrorism, no ISIS.
Where did you find sourcing for the Iraqi infantry kit? Getting interested in collecting Iraqi gear and I'm not sure where to start!
Iraqi Militaria is a good site for it. Middle East Militaria as well. Or just on ebay.
Great video would love to see the complete uniform and the 1970s bundeswher uniform in the future
Really interesting. Thankyou.
Well done! It is interesting to see the mishmash of kit that the Iraqi soldier would use at that time. I knew about the M76/M80 South Korean helmet, but never knew about the Bundeswehr-like parkas they used.
Wait until you learn about the export-production Pakistani P58 webbing
@@IPC-D_Media_Unit Interesting
They also used cargo pants and field shirts made in the same style as the west german army ones
Interesting to see the similarities between the Iraqi army and the Argentine one ten years earlier. The look in the helmet and big parka, the fact they both invaded their neighbours quickly and easily but were later swiftly removed by force.
The Argentines didn't get their butt's "royally kicked" at all like the Iraqis did in the Gulf War. For the losses they sustained, they inflicted reasonably heavy casualties on the British including sinking 2 destroyers, 2 frigates, and destroying 10 fighters and 24 helicopters. That campaign was not some cake walk for the British. Do you even know what you are talking about?
@@cattledog901 “do you even know what you are talking about” well bruh I could ask you the same question. I mean the Argentines are fighting in their own back yard, they’ve got most of their Air Force and Navy online (apart from the guys watching Chile), and yeah sure they inflict some material losses on the Brits but in return they walk over a mountain range, kick you out, and sink your flagship in the process. I certainly think that even with the casualties the UK won handily.
@@orangealiens8201 No one said the British didn't win genius. I said it wasn't a "royal butt kicking" like you claimed it was. The British suffered 255 dead, Argentina 649. Thats no where near some easy cake walk for the British and much more than some "material losses". In the Gulf War the coalition suffered 292 killed and the Iraqis somewhere between 30k to 50k killed. Saying both those campaigns were similar "royal butt kickings" is absurd and shows you have no idea what you are talking about.
@@cattledog901 ok bud sorry you disagree. Your comment presents rather pissed off and absolutely certain that you’re more of an authority on this than me and (whether that’s true or not) I’m certainly not gonna gain anything by continuing to argue with you.
@@orangealiens8201 I mean no one anywhere not even the British themselves claim the Falklands campaign was a "royal butt kicking". You could watch the lowest level most mainstream documentary about the war and it will show the British took their fair share of punches and casualties in the process. The fact you are ignorant to that is clear evidence you aren't read on the subject in the slightest, you don't even know the basics. Maybe don't open your mouth when you don't know what your talking about and you won't have to get called out.
ME TOOOOO
