Availability of 5.11 equipment in Russia during the Russo-Ukrainian War
Reporting during the war stated that 5.11 products remained widely available in Russian military stores despite sanctions and examined customs data concerning alleged procurement of tactical equipment for Russian military personnel through companies in Latvia, Poland, and Hong Kong. The reporting created geopolitical and reputational scrutiny; the available reference does not establish that 5.11 itself directly supplied military forces.
