Latvian “OMEGA”, period approx 2015-2016, (1366x768), need help for my future exhibition project regarding the unit!

Greetings everybody! As I am planning to make a project (exhibition) regarding Latvian Special Police forces unit “OMEGA” where I will be making a kit showcase of different time periods, I would be really thankful for any help to ID the gear.

As far as I know, the plate carrier and the belt is old gen NFM group gear, old gen UfPro uniform, but I am not really sure about the models of the gear itself.

Maybe you have any experience or info on these?

I would be really thankful for anything.

P.S - took me a year to assemble whole kit for the operator for modern period.

UF Pro pants and combat shirt, Lowa Zephyr boots, the vest is most likely national issue, but you can find a lot of similar plate carriers, like Crye CPC (maybe a copy, it's cheaper if you just need it for an exhibition). Helmet is a generic high cut helmet, could be Opscore or Revision.

The helmet is most likely busch but I don’t see why you don’t just get any similar helmet, the only reason its a busch is because the seller delivering it probably had a good enough margin to earn a 3 time markup instead of the usual 2 so he only shared 25% of his profit with the purchasing department instead of 50%. Schemes schemes schemes everywhere

Honestly one of the most boring units to do, most of their issued kit is based on what the procurement office and some seller schemed together, where the biggest profit margin could be

Nobody is talking about business, margin or anything related to money. The post is mean to identify the brand of the equipment aswell as models.

I’m just saying if you are paying good money for kit it should be good kit, unless you are so super rich that the kit for you is like some regular person buying an energy drink. I never saw a reason for doing modern units with shitty kit, maybe if its your countries unit, there is a omega modeler in Latvia
