K6-3 Gorka in SS Leto Smersh with backpack (you can tell from the hook-straps going over shoulders and clipping in front) Defender 2 body armor with "dickflap" IFF reflective band
Here comes the part where I complain about how the smersh is an AK smersh and not the AS VAL smersh. The AS VAL magazines will fit, but they'll be loose and move inside the pouches.

Pardon me, sir, but where can one obtain such an intimate knowledge of Russian military gear such as yours?

of course i had to spend 30 minutes checking before scrolling down and seeing you'd already done it.
don't think it's a Smersh though, the ANA Tactical M1 LBV (not the PC) looks exactly the same - Smersheseses have the suspenders attaching to the belt via looping around closer to the navel, and the Smersh only has one belt strap. Thought it was an old ALICE due to the suspender hooks but pockets didn't match. I'd link the pic of the ANA I found since it seems to be the same one used for reference here but the link is too long, Google/Duckduck "ana m1 suspenders" and you should see it pop up instantly.
Also, why a K6-3 and not just an Altyn? Didn't even know about the K6-3's existence until now, but a quick wiki dive gives the impression that it's an identical copy, just sans radio and with screws visible on the outside of the plexiglass visor, whereas she's got some kinda headset going on and the only screws the plexi has are on the inside.
Other than that, pretty much came to the same conclusions. Dickflap on FORT looks strangely short and I'm unsure what's going on with the tiny groin reinforcement patch since it's too small for the typical Gorka cut, and the jacket doesn't really have any of the characteristic stitching or reinforcing going on. Would have thought Gorka-5 initially, but there's so little detail I can't be sure. No arm pockets, no elbow stitching, sleeve mouths seem crumpled and elastic while the G5 has Velcro bands. Still similar enough to confuse, the length seems about right, the hem has a drawstring, there's an integrated hood, and it's kinda baggy. Could be an ANA Krot, could be a SSO/SPOSN sniper suit, could be a BARS Lyagushka, could be a... you get the idea.
After another 90 minutes browsing questionable Russian airsoft and military sites I found something that kinda matches the cut of the pants, the URSUS Gerkon Tibet has a similarly short groin patch, but the colorway/patterning seems to be inverted, and I couldn't find any in SS-Leto. I have a destinct memory of seeing some Western-made combat pants in a similar pattern ages ago but can't find any real matches. Maybe it's the Tibet, maybe it's a mishandled Gorka, maybe it's perspective, I don't know and I think I've spent enough time on being autistic about gear for today.

Cheers, sorry, thanks, all that. Have a good one.
FUCKING CORRECTION: Yeah it could just as well be a Smersh, image search was fucking with me earlier. Guessing the ANA LBV is patterned after the Smersh. Soz.
