The Russian Army is still using the foot wraps that Leo Tolstoy described being used...in Russia's war against Napoleon over two centuries ago. Apparently the concept of "socks" has not yet been introduced there. In other great news of modern technology, apparently Russian conscripts are being issued the 1891-designed Mosin-Nagant, apparently because they don't have enough Kalishnikov variants anymore.
Looks like if we want to help Ukraine, we're going to have to break out the strategic reserves of the 30-40 Krag, or perhaps (for the British) the .303 Enfield, and maybe some of the old steel bucket helmets from WW1.
