Hi everyone, I am polish, living in Utrecht area since 2015. I used to play airsoft and paintball couple of years ago, but that's not why I am here.
As you know there is a war, you've heard about the support for refugees that's ongoing, but there are also a lot of Poles that collect military equipment and transport it to the front lines - there are more Ukrainians willing to fight than there is available gear. Our problem is that there are already shortages in the shops all over Poland. Polish airsoft players are actually donating their own gear now.
So I was asked to see if I am able to find the following:
- military shoes 43-45
- plate carrier vests (without plates - the Ukrainians reinforce them themselves)
- professional radios (they gave HYT TC-780 as an example)
I did a quick search online, but I could not find actual army surplus stuff or it's expensive.
Today I was in a surplus store in Utrecht, but I could not find a single plate carrier vest, and the shoes are €100+. We can get these in Poland for this price, so there's no point in purchasing them here.
Do you guys know where to go to buy such stuff relatively cheap, so that I could send as much as possible to Ukraine?
