Description

Russian-made field jacket in EMR (Edinaya Maskirovochnaya Rascvetka) digital camouflage pattern bearing Wagner Group and ISIS Hunters insignia. The left sleeve displays a Wagner Group patch featuring the organization’s characteristic skull emblem, while the right sleeve bears an ISIS Hunters patch depicting a skull within crosshairs surrounded by bilingual English and Arabic text. The jacket exhibits extensive signs of field wear, including fading, staining, and abrasion consistent with operational use. The combination of insignia reflects the overlap between Wagner Group activities and Russian-backed anti-ISIS operations in Syria.

Notes

The ISIS Hunters (Охотники на ИГИЛ) were a Syrian paramilitary formation established during the Syrian Civil War to conduct operations against the Islamic State (ISIS). The group received training, equipment, and support from Russian military personnel and contractors, including Wagner Group elements. Their insignia became widely recognized through Russian and Syrian media coverage of anti-ISIS campaigns, particularly in central and eastern Syria between 2016 and 2018.

The patch displayed on the jacket incorporates the ISIS Hunters skull emblem and bilingual text, reflecting the close relationship between Russian-backed forces and Syrian anti-ISIS formations during the conflict. Such insignia were frequently worn by Russian contractors, advisors, and affiliated personnel as symbols of participation in, or association with, operations against ISIS.
