1/6th scale. "The Russian Airborne Troops or VDV (from "Vozdushno-desantnye voyska", Russian: Воздушно-десантные войска, ВДВ; Air-landing Forces) is a military branch of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. They are an elite force, on par with the Strategic Rocket Forces and the Aerospace Defence Forces. First formed before World War II, the force undertook two significant airborne operations and a number of smaller jumps during the war and for many years after 1945 was the largest airborne force in the world. The force was split after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, losing divisions to Belarus and Ukraine, and has been reduced in size."

thats scarily realistic in terms of the face – I thought to start that it was a pic of an actual soldier |

Stunning but the position of the fighting knife/bayonet seems passing strange if not dangerous. |

Stunning but the position of the fighting knife/bayonet seems passing strange if not dangerous. Good eye. That's gonna poke him in the thigh (or worse) with every long stride he takes, or at the very least be uncomfortable in the prone position and flap around and make noise during movement. A real soldier would've figured it out during his first gear check after setting up his kit. |
