Description

Russian-made field jacket in EMR (Edinaya Maskirovochnaya Rascvetka) digital camouflage pattern bearing PMC Wagner insignia and personalized morale patches. The right sleeve displays an official PMC Wagner patch featuring the distinctive hand-sign emblem used by the organization, beneath an official Wagner skull-in-crosshairs patch superimposed over the Russian national flag. The left sleeve bears a custom morale patch depicting a blood-stained sickle above the Russian phrase ''Кошу укроп'', a derogatory slogan directed at Ukrainians.

Left Sleeve Patch Translation

''Кошу укроп''
"I mow down dill."

In Russian military slang, укроп ("dill") is a derogatory nickname for Ukrainians. The phrase is an idiomatic boast meaning "I kill Ukrainians" or "I mow down Ukrainians," with the sickle reinforcing the wordplay on harvesting. It is an openly hostile slogan used in the context of the Russo-Ukrainian War.
