SMERSH and SMERSH MOLLE
The Smersh webbing system is one of the most popular gears among the Russian special forces. It is well variable to the purpose you need. It can be a light weight webbing holding only mags and a few important stuff for a short skirmish, or it can be a large carrying system if you go out to the field.
Both cases you will have the ability to move fast without difficulty and reach your stuff easily.
Once an American soldier said that the Smersh is, what the ALICE system could have been, if MOLLE wouldn't came.
The original Smersh was ALICE system but now it is also available in MOLLE.
Here is a small comparison of the two versions.
In this article I will write only from the main parts, because both gear has some additional stuff, those will be a theme of another entry.
In this case both Smersh has the PLCE style shoulder strap, has 2x2 mag pouches, a day pack, medical, a large back panel, and an RS-31 webbing belt.
The base of the webbing system is the RS-31 belt, the large back panel and the shoulder strap.
The belt has a very strong Velcro in the inner sides so it can be adjusted easily to your size. The large back panel has some loops and inside the loops also Velcro to prevent its movement on the belt. It fits very tight. The shoulder strap must be attached to the large back panel and to the mag pouches, so the mag pouches are also among the base parts.
The shoulder straps:
The straps are very comfortable they have some foam inside and mesh in the inner side to help ventilation, and prevent heavy sweating. The older ALICE one has some loops to attachment, while the newer MOLLE has MOLLE straps all along.
Both tested piece is the PLCE style version. As you can see MOLLE version has straps on the back too, while the ALCIE one only has two loops for fixing, on the top, which was replaced on the MOLLE version for a grip, to pull out wounded or just carrying the equipment.
The mag pouches:
To open the top is just one pull, so you can reach fast what you need, closing is a bit more difficult, but after a short time your hand gets use to the method.
Both can carry two 5.45 or 7.62 30 round AK magazines with the spacer inside, or 3-3 if you take out the spacer which attaches to the inside of the pouch with Velcro. So you can carry in the four pouches up to 12 magazines.
The older version has two grenade pockets on the outer side of the dual mag pouches, from the MOLLE one it has been deleted, and has been replaced with MOLLE straps on the sides and front.
Both dual pouch attaches to belt with loops no differences in that.
The daypack:
The two versions has the same size, only differences in the outer look and the attachment. Both attaches to the large back panel, however the ALICE version can be easily attached to a webbing belt. The MOLLE one has molle straps to connect to the back panel, which makes it able to connect on every other molle platforms. Also the back panels are different both are optimized to their system.
Both has an inner cover from a minor water resistant material, which can be fastened with a string. In the outer cover both has a small pocket.
On the sides the ALICE version has some straps for ALICE clips, the MOLLE one has on all sides MOLLE laces.
The daypacks also can be used as small backpacks. They have got 2-2 belts which can be attached to the shoulder strap, in this case the shoulder strap carries the weight, and the large back panel will be free to use for other pouches, or another daypack. If you have MOLLE version from both the daypack and the PLCE style shoulder strap, you can use the MOLLE to fasten your daypack as a backpack.
The overall conclusion is that, in function there are no big differences in the two versions. The MOLLE stlye maybe a bit more variable and in some areas has even tighter fitting than the ALICE. The small differences like the locking system can decide which would be better for ones need.
You may note differences in the colours, these are due to different production serials and periods

AK-12 photo report
The new AK-12 has the following differences compared to the older AK-74:
1. New telescopic buttstock with adjustable cheek piece.
2. Buttstock line is now continuous with the barrel.
3. Receiver lid is now non-detachable, but is pivoted forward at the gas block and is fixed by a spring-loaded catch in the back.
4. New rigid lid allows for installation of sights on it and is equipped with picatinny rails for this.
5. New ambidextrous safety.
6. Ejector slot is covered not by safety lever, but by a special sliding cover.
7. Reloading handle and ejector (with ejection slot cover) could be installed both on the right and on the left.
8. Action now has a bolt catch.
9. New mags are developed: stackable 2-row (30 rounds), 4-row (60 rounds), and drum (100 rounds, IIRC)
10. Interchangeable handguard — with picatinny rails and with grenade launcher lugs.
11. Picatinny rails on the gas block.
12. Barrel can be exchanged much more easily.
13. New muzzle device compatible with rifle grenades.

MilSim Training 2012. 06. 9-10.
Two members of our team took a part from the Milsim training game last weekend in the nearby forest.
Twenty four hours event with three sides. Red forces vs. Blue forces and a sniper team against both of
them.
We were on the Red side of course, and had the opportunity to test our equipment again. The Fleactar-d outfits in the forest just worked perfect. Sometimes the enemy did not know from where we shoot, and we where sitting just about 20-30 meters in front of them. :D
Day one was about taking a forward operating base, and defend it. But after a big wave of enemy attack we had to give it up. So at the second half of the day we tried to get it back. After a few assaults the Blue forces tried to break out, but our squad where in their way, so they did not make it.
The FOB was again on Red hands.
On the morning of the second day our squad was deployed again to the FOB to defend it with another team, at all costs.
At the rest of the game we have repelled all attacks, but after a few hours we where outnumbered and out gunned, so the only chance was to break out.
Some of our men, went forward, but they have run into the enemy. They have encountered a few Blue team members, and than radioed for reinforcement. The rest of our team went to help. We have reached the main site of the endgame where the enemy flag was raised. We had the luck that only a few guarded the site. So it was not hard to take the enemy flag. After this we have called our main forces to bring our flag immediately, they where luckily in the nearby, so they came, and after a little shooting they where able to raise our flag, and the round was won.
VANARAS PBS-1
The Vanaras PBS-1 is the most accurate replica on the market.
It is full steel, it has unique serial number, and it has the most accurate detailing among all the PBS-1 replicas compared to the real thing.
The steel is factory blackened, it has foam inside. It makes your airsoft weapon a bit silenter, but it is mostly an optical tuning part.
It has a -14 mm thread only.
It weights a ton ;)
If you want to get the best replica go for it! It is way better than the ELEMENT, which is often aslope, and it has a way to small hole at the front, so the BB-s often clash to the side of this hole.
REPLICA FOR AIRSOFT ONLY!

GEAR UP!
part 1.
First you need is a good weapon.
My Kalash full steel AK-74M replica:
This solid piece of metal is serving me now for more than two years.
The original factory wood fore grip was replaced with a kalash plum upper handguard, and a cyma black tactical lower part. The cyma part is need to be modified ti fit well into the VFC system because it is made for the LCT or Marui guns.
But after a little work it fit hard as rock.
The buttstock was replaced with a telescopic magpul type.
A custom adapter was made to install an m4 stock tube right in place of the original foldable stock.
I'm using an SSO RT-3 tactical sling, I'm very satisfied with it, I recommend.
Inside it has got an element red hop up chamber, with systema hop up rubber. Stock inner barrel, and stock gearbox, only replaced the spring guide to a guarder one. It has got factory stock 7mm ball bearings. Now its shoot around 370 FPS, and I can hit man sized targets from about 50-60 meters.
