According to the current plans of the Ministry of Defense, by now the armed forces should completely switch to a new uniform. Now the military will use the so-called. All-season set of basic uniforms (VKBO). In addition, in the 2015 year, it is planned to supplement the kit with new items.

At the beginning of November last year, Deputy Minister of Defense Dmitry Bulgakov said that in 2014, 400 thousand sets of VKBO were purchased. The purpose of these purchases was to continue the transition to such uniforms, begun earlier. In addition, the deputy minister spoke about plans for other items of clothing. Until the end of last year, it was supposed to change all the officers, midshipmen and cadets into new demi-season and winter jackets. In 2015, such items of clothing will be received by conscript soldiers. At the time of the statements, military personnel stationed in the Arctic had already received a new form, and the troops of the Western Military District were also being re-equipped. The last new form should have been received in the Southern Military District.
Of great interest is the all-season basic uniforms, which is now being transferred to the Russian armed forces. The BTK Group company was engaged in the creation of the VKBO set. In developing this kit, several original ideas were used that were not previously used to create uniforms for the national army. The main idea of the WCBO is a multi-level system that includes several so-called. levels or layers. The use of various combinations of these layers makes it possible to ensure a comfortable work of a soldier under different weather conditions with different physical exertion.
Included in the WCF are a 23 garment, including 3 pairs of shoes. The kit includes three options for underwear (T-shirt and shorts, as well as two options for T-shirts with long sleeves and underpants), a windbreaker jacket, a fleece jacket, a demi-season vest, a windproof jacket and pants, a warm suit, several pairs of shoes, a scarf, three options hats, gloves, mittens, socks, etc. All items of clothing for transportation and storage are packed in a bundle.
According to reports, the VKBO kit ensures a comfortable work of a soldier in various weather conditions. The minimum composition of garments is designed to work at temperatures above + 15 ° C. In the most warmed configuration, VKBO protects from temperatures down to -40 ° C. The possibility of combining layers in accordance with the weather and the planned intensity of work is one of the main advantages of VKBO before uniforms of old models .
As planned by the creators of the kit, in summer the main clothes of the serviceman will be a summer suit consisting of a jacket and trousers, a light cap and boots with high berets designed for use at temperatures from + 15 ° C. A wind and weather protective suit and a set of insulated clothing are offered for use in the fall and winter. Depending on weather conditions, shoes are selected.
Much attention in the development of a set of VKBO was given to garments designed to provide comfort at low temperatures. So, in the course of the research it turned out that cotton fabrics do not fully meet all the requirements, as a result of which they are used only as a material for linen and summer suit. Other trousers and jackets are made of modern synthetic materials, including insulation. An additional advantage of new materials is their compactness. Insulated suit, if necessary, can be folded and folded into a compact bag of size 20 x20 x20, see. Old materials did not provide such ease of transportation.
To protect the head and neck, a scarf-bib, a mask-cap (a so-called balaclava) and a warmed cap (earflaps) are designed. Due to the emergence of new means of communication, the latter has special valves for ease of use of headphones. A smaller number of hats in comparison with other items of clothing drastically reduces the possible number of combinations of their use; however, even in this case, comfortable work is ensured in all declared temperature ranges.
Despite numerous disputes, the traditional foot wipes for our army are not included in the All-Russian Central Asian Union set. Instead, soldiers and officers are encouraged to use socks of two options, summer and winter.
Hand protection at low temperatures is provided by gloves and mittens. The latter can be fastened to the sleeves, quickly removed and put on. Mittens have a relatively simple design and are intended only to protect hands from frost. Using them when carrying out any work may be associated with certain difficulties. In addition, it is impossible to shoot in mittens. For use weapons they will have to shoot.
The claimed service life of the all-season basic uniform kit is 3-5 years. The kit is issued to the soldier, and after its demobilization it is sanitized, repaired and, if necessary, issued to another recruit. In this case, all recruits will receive a new set of underwear. It is argued that the materials used can withstand full operation for three years.
Testing and trial operation clearly showed the advantages of the VBD set over the outfit of old models. Nevertheless, the new multi-level high-tech form cannot boast of a low price. A full set of clothes and shoes for one fighter costs the army about 80 thousand rubles. However, the leaders of the military department found such a price acceptable and justified.
The production of VKBO kits started in 2013. At the same time, the army received 100 thousand new sets. Since 2014, purchases have increased several times. In the near future, all units of the armed forces should switch to a new field uniform.
