Red Army Webbing Belt, Grenade Pouch( 3 off F1 or RG 42 Grenade),Water Bottle, E Tool, Magazine pouch for SMG PPSh41 or PPS43.
Red Army Equipment is worn with the E Tool on the right side of the Body, this is important as everyone else wears it on the left, it makes the Red Army different, the Water Bottle is Worn to the left opposite just about everyone else...



Some items of Equipment, The Small Pouches are for Small arms Ammunition, worn on the Belt with or instead of Leather Mosin Nagant Pouches, Packets of SMG Ammunition can be carried in them also... The Bayonet is a SVT 40 Bayonet, the Weapon was obsolete in 1942, the Bayonets were issued as Fighting Knifes as needed..

The Haversack is used as a Holdall, the Respirator was largely being held in the Company Baggage or lost ,out of the sheer need for Baggage to carry the necessaries of War, Food, Ammo etc, ... they make a useful "Dump Bag" for Air Soft, The Respirator Haversack is always worn on the Left Side of the body.
Use of Captured Equipment would only be permitted with the permission of an Officer, they called all such things as "Trophy" it is a good term to use... Lease-lend Weapons were supplied with Vehicles as they would normally be equipped with they were normally saved for uses were the lack of Ammunition would not be a problem, NKVD Security, Crews of Lease-lend Vehicles.. British Ammo Boots were disliked as the Leather and hob nail soles were as bad as Fascist Boots in the Cold.
Due to the Lack of suitable Weapons of a Soviet nature it is impossible to be Normal Red Army and look Correct, best act as Scouts or Razvedchiki, they can get away with Fascist Weapons to a point, it would also suit Air Soft Battle Tactics which are mostly small Fire Fights/ meeting engagements, disengagements.
Many Red Army men would have nothing to do with Fascist Weapons or Equipment, their hatred of the Vandal Invader of Mother Russia was total, use only what Fascist Trophies you have to. It is best look like the Red Army, not a joke, Russians are a Proud People, do not disrespect The Bear, they can turn the Natural Gas off remember..
I hope this helps.
