A commercial-made ballistic vest in a Flora camouflage pattern, retaining its original identification and morale patches. The vest was most likely purchased privately by the mercenary through commercial suppliers, as was common among many Wagner Group personnel who equipped themselves with commercially available Flora-pattern gear instead of standard-issue equipment.
The front of the carrier retains an official PMC Wagner Group patch alongside a Viking-themed morale patch, a design that has been documented on a limited number of Wagner-associated load-bearing equipment and uniforms. The rear of the vest features a "Z" patch in the colors of the Russian flag. The "Z" symbol became one of the principal identifying emblems of Russian forces and pro-Russian formations during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine beginning in 2022, serving as both a battlefield recognition mark and a widely adopted pro-war symbol.
