Would like to know the answer myself.
Have seen a documentary on Stalingrad where the makers took one guy and put him in a nazi uniform and into the back of a refrigerated truck at something like -15 degrees C for 5 or ten minutes. They got him to do a couple of simple tests to check reaction time and ability to assemble small components before and after. They also filmed him with a thermal camera to show areas of heat loss. They then repeated it all with the same guy in a Soviet uniform.
The guys comments were that the nazi uniform looked better, with a better fit and a better "cut" and "lines", but it was poorly designed for the cold. The Soviet uniform almost looked scruffy but he said it was very comfortable and had useful features like gloves with fingers that had a cover that went over all the fingers in a double layer to cover all the fingers again but with a slit opening near the trigger finger so you could slip your trigger finger only out to fire a weapon while the rest of your fingers had two layer protection and your trigger finger had one layer of wool over it.
The performance tests clearly showed they reduced the effect of cold on the soldier by a significant degree.
What I would like to know is have they gone to far to make the new uniform look pretty and tidy at the expense of making it warm and comfortable?
AFAIK the designer guy worked with the uniform making companies so they would have made sure it did what was required in the cold and wet.
So anyone with experience with the new uniforms?

In that first link it mentions that some uniforms issued to personnel that operate electronics will have protection from microwaves... very interesting.

That's actually not bad at all. Is it just me or did they also change the camo somewhat by adding a little more brown and black?

EDIT: Or did you just mean the camo pattern works really well?

LOL now why would you go and say something like that, TR1?
Guy even looks strangely familiar for some reason. Christ.
This is me in my 'dembel' costume by the way:

As you can see I skipped on all the pimpin'; most that I wanted to do is get myself a white leather belt, but in the end I didn't even get around to that. I was awarded a certificate/diploma for my service, which gave me the right to buy and wear a badge commemorating 30 years of my unit on my parade uniform. I didn't even get that - which is something I ended up regretting later on. Could have come home as a decorated war hero, after all![]()
I just focussed on the essentials; making sure that my rank slides, chevrons and unit patches were sown on or secured perfectly and at exactly the right angles, and steam-ironing and cleaning my coat and uniform to oblivion. Think I made enough of an impression, although mind you - for those lads that served 2-3 years back in the day, I think that they should be afforded the right to wear whatever the hell they want on their last day without any criticism and laughter.

Haha, I had to post that when I saw it.
Nice photos Python, you are a true non smiling Russian.
Yep 1 year. I don't know what to tell you. Mostly it's just a matter of going there to find out for yourself. I will try to tell you for example; that it's mostly just a big, big load of nothing, but I suspect that only if you find yourself in the military one day will you fully understand what I meanHow was your service all in all anyways- you were in for 1 year right?
