Inside a Ukrainian soldier's UK-supplied kit bag 

Some decent kit in there. Not sure about the choice of background music given the subject matter!

Looks like good kit. Beats the hell out of my initial issue in 1978!

The Ukrainian’s are getting some high-speed, low-drag kit! The Med-kit is what really caught my eye and the thermal undergarments.

Thanks all British people for their support!!!

Thank you so so much, people of Britain! Your support for us is immeasurable!

The med kit has come on a tad since I was in the British Army in the 70s, at that time it was one field dressing....thats it!.

greetings from Norway, was cool that Norway contributed to the kit

I didn't realise we we're kitting them out when they we're coming over for training but now I've seen this it makes sense I just assumed they were already kitted out when they arrived.really proud of our government and I don't say that often. I just hope all countries helping Ukraine stick with them no matter how long this invasion of their country lasts and they aren't left on their own later on.

Good to see the Brits beefing up and sustaining aid, when it looks like other major players are beginning to wilt and become flakey

Thanks for sending the gear.

As a British Citizen it makes me happy to see our Armed forces supporting Ukraine, they need all the help they can get, hopefully what we provide will help them keep their freedom & help keep their people safe from harm ultimately.

We could only dream of having kit like that back in the 70s

Gotta love our Brit cousins!!! They always have our backs!

I joined the Army in 1978 at the age of 16yrs. This kit looks amazing... Huzzah!! 😊

A massive well done guys, looks like some decent kit there. Probably well received by the troops on the ground. Keep it going don't start to back off like others. This has got to end good for the Ukraine 🇺🇦

I've just arrived back in Kyiv, from the Front Lines. The winter kit especially, will be well received!! Thanks UK!!

That's far better than the kit i was issued with when i joined in 1986

"Load bearing equipment to carry their mess tins, waterbottle, KFS"...spoken like a true REMF. How about ammunition, grenades, IFAK, bayonet, you know, war fighting kit.

My only issue was that the music didn't seem to fit the video as well as it could. Great video anyways.

As a Ukrainian soldier, I want to say Thank You for supporting us! Huge respect to all democratic nations supporting Ukraine!

I joined in 1987, our idea of cold weather kit was to fart in your sleeping bag. 😮

As an armed prepared citizen in the US I purchase most of my gear. Some of it was gear I had when I served in the military. Basic gear has come along way since the old 782 gear also alot more comfortable and versitle.

Crazy to think in the last 24 months the UK has trained ordera of magnitude more Ukranian troops than its own.

Thank you UK!

Thank you so much for supporting us! God Save The King!Glory to Ukraine!🇺🇦🇬🇧

Glory to Ukraine! I'm in Canada but I think of Ukraine every day!! You are always in my prayers!

The music ruins the video

Amazing heart of the British people and army, thank you England this will be forever in history that we can look back and say we have done the right think buy supporting the Ukrainians they are fighting for their country and for democracy

Excellent kit.

🇨🇦 I especially like the British pattern boot as it's nicer on the feet to perform 20 mile ruck marches in as compared with many other patterns of boot out there - which absolutely butchers one's feet (kind of important)👍🇨🇦

We should be sending tons of this kit. Plenty of UAF have not come for training here.

I remember back when if you wanted extras like skrims, extra webbing etc you had to go to the local surplus store. Some people thought doing this was stupid and extra kit to carry but it is a must and helps a hundred fold, has long as you don't go overboard on the extras.

Really nice kit. Keep up the good work!

Thank you UK. Heroyam Slava 💙💛 Slava Ukraini!!

I can't even get trousers from the QM's

Better kit than i got at anytime in my 8 years service. No drawers green cellular or black plimsols?

It is okay to give them cheap stuff. None of it is going to be used for more than a month.

Better than the kit I had for 20 years

Awesome UK!

Tanks and drones are all very well but it's the grunts on the ground that matter.

Thank you!

evey bit of kit helps, but COLD WET is onle exceeded by ARTIC kit.

the UK rocks!

Thanks Wayne the Interne for sticking Mario Kart music in the background it really added value to my viewing pleasure.

That IFAK was huge. Somehow doubt they will be carried on the body into combat, which kinda defeats the purpose of an IFAK. Seems more like the size of what a squad medic should carry.

Looks like good kit. Reading some comments, you can't please all the people all of the time.

Was there any gloves or neck warmers?

I hope that overall we're getting them amazing winter gear. Think they'll need it

med kit looks very good

Decent enough kit. Definitely compares favourably to the russian issued tampons

Thank you for supporting us ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Interested by the 'digicam' - it appears to be identical to the current PCS but simply with another pattern? Is it being made specifically for the Ukrainians or is it something we have stock of but never adopted?

Kapitalne dziękujemy jestem Polakiem ale dziękujemy Brytyjczykom !!super plecak a te adidasy to wigule kozak oby wszystkie nacje tak bardzo troszczyły się o bitwę przeciwko diabłowi dawno by nie było tego sovieckiego smiecia!!!❤❤❤ for Great Britain

Дякую / Thanks 🇺🇦🫂🇬🇧

In Forces News We Trust

It’s interesting that they’re still issued MM-14 when equipped by the British. I’m interested in learning more about that acquisition process.

great stuff! thanks the UK.

Nice vest. Whats the brand?

What belt kit they being issued? When I first see it I thought it was the older OG plce kit I had back in the day but looks different/more modern

Great!

We don't owe them anything.

15 seconds of the music was all I could stand.

Anyone know what make and model the boots helmet and armor are

That plate carrier was very very light

lucky guys to get all that good times we live in

It’s great to actually see what we are providing. 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇦

Music choice is completely mental.

Great compared what I was issued

Now they just need the soldiers to go with it.

Nice to see they are supplying body armour to Ukrainian troops as I remember that some British soldiers died through lack of it in Iraq: they had to share it and distribute it according to who was in the most danger. I wonder if they also get rifles that work properly, I understand those SA80s used to jam up a lot. Also, have you provided them with plenty of toilet paper: our soldiers suffered from a severe lack in Iraq - it was on the news then.

Gee, much better kit than what we had in the BAOR.

Who is editing the music for these videos

As an American, I love seeing countries support Ukraine, I just can't wait for my country to get back to it too. Honestly, we should send a trillion-dollar aid package but I'll be happy to see anything more than 10 billion.

Does that kit include more soldiers?

Glad to see militaries around the world are willing to help, where governments have continued to get cold feet doing what is needed to liberate a country fighting for freedom.

*Russia's get told to bring their own tampons to plug wounds and also get a Rusty AK they have to refurbish in the field.*

Looks like it is what their need and quality is perfect!

The Norwegian overboots. Loved by every Norwegian soldier since 1986.

A major thing we can be proud of as a Brit is our Armed Forces! 💪

I’m I right in saying that our lads and lasses have to buy a lot of their own kit?

definitely better than the gear we were issued in 1975

Geeeez ! That plate carrier looks like I just came off the Ali express budget lineup ! 🤦‍♂️

That because the uk military has emptied and we have run out of room to store all this kit.

Can we get one of these black bag load outs?

Wot? ... No tea kettle?

That music ! Doing my head in ! Made watching actually painful !

Героям Слава

As I was watching this I kept thinking about the massive difference: On the one hand we have Ukrainian soldiers fighting for their freedom and for democracy, supported by countries like Britain.... and this is what their kit looks like as given by a supporting country... (pretty impressive!) and on the other hand we have Russian "soldiers"... conscripts, criminals and mercenaries... forced to fight for a sociopathic leader with his unjust set of lies and a fake cause... and they have to cope with a terrible lack of kit or even having to crow-fund for their equipment. Right versus wrong. Good versus evil. The contrast could not be greater. And this contrast in kit just emphasises that difference.... As an important side note: I do not hate the average Russian soldier, many/most have no choice and face a stark choice. With tens of thousands of innocent young men being sent to their death for what ? The misguided beliefs of a power-hungry criminal.... : I just wish more Russians could find the truth and boot Putin into prison asap. Slava Ukraine !!

Those Softie suits are great bits of kit, but will they be good enough for a Ukraine winter? That's not a criticism, it's a question to anyone out there who has more experience with them.

What make are the winter boots?

Seems a bit small. Interesting.

What’s with the Camo on the plate Carrier?

12 years served with 3 Cdo, how do I apply for my Norwegian trainers please?

That is some good kit

Given this gear is not in UK multi cam, who provided the gear? Or has the UK actually procured a supply of "non UK identifiable" uniform material and is paying to have this made in addition to the standard UK multi cam supply chain?

Where are they hiding those Challenger 2

this is more than the joining kit of a Google employee

The kits got a lot better over the years it had to 🙄

What about ukraine with wise feet do yall give wide feet style boots
