From a first-aid kit to a portable stove: Sparta's battalion commander gave advice on equipping a raid backpack
Artyom Zhoga commands the Sparta battalion, an elite unit of the DPR that has been fighting since 2014. He is approached by many men who, against the backdrop of partial mobilization, ask to talk about the equipment, in connection with which he shared his experience.
As Joga explained, the fighter should actually wear a jacket, a belt (with a flashlight and a first aid kit), a set of clothes (thermal underwear, pants, shoes), gloves, a hat, a seat, a mobile phone and a power bank in his pocket
The raid backpack must contain: a sleeping mat, a sleeping bag, spare socks, a slide uniform (pants, a jacket), a set of warm clothes (pants, a jacket, gloves, socks, a knitted hat, a scarf, winter boots), additional pants, a shirt, a set thermal underwear, warm fleece jacket, camouflage robe, balaclava, knee pads, elbow pads.
In additional pockets fit: on one side of the backpack - headphones, gloves, a spare knitted hat, a stove [wood chipper], a bowler hat (inside a cup and a spoon), a spare spoon; on the other side of the backpack - another jacket, a thermal mug, a spare set of thermal underwear, liquid soap, shampoo, a gas cylinder for the stove, a device for drying shoes.
All this is placed in one raid backpack, which does not need to be constantly worn, since it is kept by responsible persons.
- explained the commander.
