Modern Ukrainian uniform in photographs

Hello!

There are not too much information and pictures about new Ukrainian combat field uniform and footwear, so I would like to post here some interesting pics,
which I manage to find.
If you have some interesting pics and/or coments on this topic - feel free to join the trend!

At first, the old uniform which was in use before 2014:

Some old uniform pics versus new ones:

The old style black full leather boots were just a worse and rough copy of USMC full leather boots with "Panama"-type soles. They were used both for hot summer and cold winter.

New boots by "TALAN" footwear company present new models of combat boots almost every year in their attempts to take into account all the disadvantages found during field tests
and propose something new.

Some photos from the recent parade on the Independence day (August 24, 2018), Kyiv.

Hello Gilles,

On the pictures above one can see Ukrainian Borger Guards in green betrets and scarves.
As far as can see, the black full leather boots ore of old style, as on the "old uniform" pictures I have posted earlier.
This means that the picture was made approximately in 2014.

Having searched in google by pics, I found the date and comment: fr.dreamstime.com/image-stock-éditorial-soldats-de-la-cavalerie-de-garde-frontière-de-l-armée-ukrainienne-dans-kyiv-ukraine-image43858964

KYIV, UKRAINE - 24 AOÛT : Soldats de la cavalerie de garde frontière de l'armée ukrainienne au défilé militaire consacré au Jour de la Déclaration d'Indépendance de l'Ukraine le 24 août 2014 dans Kyiv, Ukraine Ces types prennent une partie dans l'opération d'anti-terroristes dans Donbass

In 2014 there were no mass manufacturing of Multicam for Ukrainian armed forces.
So I think that this uniform is not Ukrainian and it was issued specially for parade in 2014.

Some batches could be provided by US MoD, but in limited quantity.

It could be also the unifrom manufactured by Propper in Dominican Republic (commercial issue):

Let's consider other variants, even not very probable.

Another option is uniform by Mil-tec (it can be found almost in any country):




But actually I don't think so for these pictures - the quality of Mil-Tec is often poor, while the price is not attractive - such garments are just funny replicas of real uniform.
I don't think such uniform was purchased for border guards of Ukraine.

There are some small Ukrainian companies which produce different variations of Multicam uniform in different cuts, for example:
Camo-Tec , M-TAC, Pancer protection voentorg etc.




But I also don't think these companies provided their production to the Border guards....

So, the only probable variant is small batch of contract or commercial Multicam just for the purposes of parade in 2014.

Did they use 6B4's? I only remember 6B5's from pics, the most recent use of the 6B4 I've seen is a Russian GRU operative in Georgia in 2008, I'm always interested to see other recent pics!

I have not made any special research on the matter of modern body armor in Ukrainian armed forces....
Sorry...

Some pics of current equipment, which is in use in the Ukrainian Armed Forces:

The inscription "ФАХIВЕЦЬ ЛАНДШАФТНОГО ДИЗАЙНУ" on the patch above can be trabslated as "Landscape design specialist", having in mind that artillery can change radically any landscape...
