Is it common practice now for Russian units to use western equipment? Unless thats a russian made Acog

Not common, internal units seem to be picking up a few bits ( acogs/eotech/aimpoint/surefire lights even seen an elcan specter ) but the internal forces have a lot more freedom.

If your talking about army units even elite units there equipment is still pretty standard and yet to see much if any western equipment with these army units, although have been what appears to be western comms turning up in the forms of what looks like comtac headsets but it is unclear at to if these are russian copys or imports.

But the modernization of the russian army seems to be well on the way ( both army units and internal forces )

Edit: there is a little bit of debate as to if the western rquipment that keeps popping up is imported or if it was obtained from Georgia in the recent conflict
