In The Wild: UKSF Kit List – Newcastle Photos

A friend of the blog – Mikhail – sent me a link to a comprehensive assessment that he and his group – ComTac Systems – has done on the recent UKSF Newcastle photoset.

Yes, it’s in Russian.

However, it’s well worth running through Google Translate and as far as I know there’s nothing comparable in the public domain right now:

I think it’s an excellent assessment and I’ve copied the salient parts here (in English) for ease – but do check out the original.

Lid

Ops Core Maritime

Orion Design Group FAST Cut Helmet Cover

Ops Core VAS Shroud

Wilcox L4G24 NVD.

Core Survival Helstar 6 Gen III

Ops Core Counterweight Kit NV

Peltor Comtacs (the model is not clear, but the microphone seems to be installed by the first version of Peltor Comtac)

Peltor ARC Rail Adapter

Princeton Tec Switch MPLS-II-2-TAN”

By the way, behind the rails you can see the mounts of the Smith Optics Boogie Regulator Goggle glasses.

Apparel

Arc’teryx Gamma MX Jacket jacket

Arc’teryx Gamma MX Pant pants in Blackbird

PIG FDT Alpha gloves of the last iteration

Belt

Unfortunately, there is nothing special to say on the first line, because Despite the fact that the fighter is visible from many angles, the 1st line was photographed quite badly. There is a vague assumption that the belt used is nothing more than Crye Precision AVS Low Profile Belt. A pistol cartridge pouch is poorly visible, therefore there are great difficulties with its definition, as well as with the determination of which cartridge pouch is used by this citizen.

Crye Precision Abdomen Panel

Crye Precision Frag Pouch

Camelbak tank (model unknown)

Blue Force Ten-Speed Triple M4 Mag Pouch

INVISIO V60

The Benchmade SOCP Dagger knife is located on the left cumber band near the Multiband Inter / Intra Team Radio (MBITR)

A triple magazine pouch, in the back compartment of this pouch there is a turnstile. Unfortunately, due to the poor quality of the photograph, the pouch that is located behind the “tee” could not be precisely identified, but with the highest probability the “Blue Force Gear Single Smoke Grenade Pouch” (judging by the hypalonic mounts) installed upside down was used.

In the photographs presented, the presence of side pouches Crye Precision AVS 6×6 Side Armor Carrier Set for installing armor plates was not found.

There are a couple of things I disagree with, but the point of making a hypothesis is so that it can be tested more widely through peer review.Lastly, thanks to Mikhail for name checking The Reptile House as the catalyst for ComTac’s own analysis.
