All of the Russian soldiers appear similar, but there are minor differences easily spotted. The first Russian troops in seemed the most disciplined and the best equipped. Their uniforms seemed new and had the latest digital camo. Some looked like they carried silenced sniper rifles and I did see what looked like either the Ak12 or the AN94. If you have ever experienced any military unit you know new equipment and fresh uniforms are hard to come by unless you are a critical mission ready unit.
Later on in the game the troops started appearing with AK74s. The late model all plastic kind. Their camo seemed more olive drab and these troops seemed less disciplined. There was one video of a Korean or Chinese Russian soldier who was laughing and seemed a little chunky for military service. He was probably part of the later units. There was even one unit equipped with desert goggles with the word track on them.
Obviously the initial units in were the spearhead and most elite. They carried the rifles which you dont see in the regular Russian army. The units which followed were a mix from different parts of Russia and had different missions. Not much in the way of anti tank weapons or tracked armor. Probably not expecting an armor response.
