I don't have a picture of it, but the chechens seem to have MariPat camo pants on. Or is it something similar that they have in that region? Just seemed weird

Do you mean Marpat?

The Georgians use MARPAT... If that's what you're talking about.

Why?

Cause we seen ALOT of picture during the Russia-Georgia conflict, and those guyz where wearing MARPAT.

USMC & Georgia did joint training operations a while back. Georgians got M16A2s, M4s, MARPAT, Humvees and undoubtedly more. I'm sure it was a benefit of becoming one of Bush's "Nations of the Willing" as part of the GWOT.

Look at a map : they're neighbours, the military clothing may very well have spread after the Georgian conflict among other things. It makes perfect sense to me and I found it a nice detail for the Chechens to wear those. I thought "hey the skin artist has been watching the news". Not a surprise, but a nice touch.
