    There’s a wanted fugitive from Florida who’s ex-US military. He fled to Ukraine after murdering a couple and joined Azov

      Even if he’s former US military, I’m not sure he’d have stuff like like fancy mounts for night vision gear on an open-ear helmet, unless he has the money and connections to purchase such things as a civilian.

        That style of helmet is like 200 bucks off of the internet.

          This is the helmet that appears to be worn in the photo, and that goes for $1400 apiece according to the article. I would also assume that helmet is being worn to make use night vision goggles, which are at least several thousand dollars apiece.

          I mean, it could be possible that this is just some weird Azov chud trying his hardest to look like US special ops, but I kind of doubt it, and it would make perfect sense that US Special Forces are on the ground in Ukraine training groups like Azov and providing them with weapons.
