You can pack mags very tightly in bags as is. The bracket may add weight and take up space too.

I still hope they invest more into the combat belt/mag pouch solution, along with this bag as backup
that actually brings up a good point, are battle belts not part of issued gear?
Nope. We have only seen spec ops wear them and they wore them for a competition.
PAP new uniforms.

What is the school of thought on most developed nations adopting similar multi cam uniform for their armed forces? I can barely identify which soldier is from which nation/branch of military. Albit different but even russian/ukrainian soldiers are hard to distinguish except for the colored arm bands. I know multicam is not be all, for all solutions but seems like multicam offers good enough camoflauge for variety of terrain.
but when I look at Chinese camo , its as diverse as colors in rainbow. I think Different uniform steam from need to distinguish themselves from other department rather than practicle needs. Can’t they adopt a good enough multicam as standard & issue speciality camo as per need of special forces ? Saving in logistics, uniformity, easy to adopt next upgrade in uniform, easy to procure.
Just my 2cents.

Russian and Ukrainian camo is quite different
The distinction nowadays is mainly armed police (gendarme) vs army, this thread has pictures that show how the uniform camo patterns issued are dependent upon the theatre the soldiers are deployed e.g. there are pictures of the arid digital Xingkong pattern used in areas like Xinjiang and Tibet, meanwhile we see that a lot of the eastern units use the temperate patterns in the east, and so forth. The distinguishing factor now seems to be mainly armed police versus the main military with the more traditional camo type vs the digital, otherwise everything else comes down to the unit and what they're issued, and the logistics as we've seen in many photos on this forum where this is all kinds of mismatch during the transition to the new patterns not just in camo, but kits. For the armed forces and police the standardization seems to be upon theatre/terrain rather than specific branches like how we used to see marines wear the old blue pixelated pattern as a standard, yet the distinction between police camoflage and main army's camoflage is still kept; a distinct pattern but same use case rather than something like marines or rocket force getting their own pattern specifically.
