IIyushin Belinsky

A professional Military Stalker, tasked with deadly missions from the SSU - State Security Service of Ukraine. He was one of the few to actually guarded the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. As part of an effort in stopping a fleeing fugitive of the Ukrainian Army, he and his squad was tasked in locating and capturing him, either dead or alive. During a patrol up in the Zaton area, his squad was ambushed, leading to the death of three fellows and later, him. He, howeverly, poetically, finished the fugitive before he could escape.

Now, his grave lies somewhere around in that place... usually visited by just a single Spetnatz operator, who is the last survivor of the doomed hunting party.

## Overview

### Outdated information

"Despite his name, he never actually revealed his true nationality. Some said he have the eyes of a Londoner, while the others described him as a brute from downtown Dresden. A former serviceman of the now dissoluted Soviet Army stationed at Checkpoint Charlie, he's one of the few ex-Soviet rifles that still survives as a non-corrupted and honest man, ready to serve the country he once devoted to. Post-1992, in the middle of the Russian constitional crisis, he migrated to one of the major CIS nation, Ukraine, to start "life a new and abandon his past to the ashes of the Regime". No one knows his true age, the 45-year-old is simply a common guess among the army ranks. He's now the squad leader of 40th Scouts, a fireteam of 23rd Military Stalkers Company. Being a tough guy and former serviceman made him a favorable character in the eyes of the recruiters. His real name was Ivan Streletsky."

## Equipment

### Armor

He used to wear the Skat-9M, a special variant of the Skat-9 Military stalker armored suit, which was only produced in small numbers before being phased out by the Skat-9 in favor of saving cost. The helmet he worn was the Sphere-12M.

### Weapons

He made heavy usage of the AS "Val" special assault rifle. His service pistol of choice was presumably a PB, or a Fort-17. He was issued with the standard MVS Ukrainy troops' combat knife. It was noted that he loved to tinker around explosives, to the point a small pouch he made during his time in Afghanistan was filled with nothing more than grenades.
