    Translation (as near as I could figure out):

    “Inexpensive PASGT (Personnel Armour System for Ground Troops) helmet with dyed, surplus camouflage cover and a used Yukon Gen1 Night Vision Goggle held on with GoPro parts (likely the curved attachment and maybe even the overhead clips), and an extra mount.”

    Definitely a case of: “if you have to ask, you don’t want it.”

    Also, the Yukon Gen 1 seems to be discontinued (most of the reviews are 12+ years old) but new units run $2-5K.

    I read this wrong and imagined an Uber driver wearing these when you get in.

    Headlights off, let’s go.

    Allow me to translate.

    Super cheap Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops (helmet), covered in dyed military surplus cloth, used Yukon Gen1 (ancient and mostly useless) night vision goggles, held on with Go Pro parts and a military surplus mount.

    Okay, I think I’ve mostly deciphered this, but what’s a pasgt?

    This is a definite case of a few more acronyms and shortened forms than was wise.

    We haven’t analyzed the Ikea couch. The secret meaning is that Russians like to buy and post toys like this for clout from their cheap couches?
