No Assault Vests on Chernarus?

Over the past 3 or so MONTHS of fairly consistent play I haven’t been able to find the Assault Vests on Chernarus. I play both community and official servers but never find the vest at any military location at any tier.

Everywhere I look online claims that it spawns just like any other vest at tiers 3+…

Is anyone else finding them or am I just going crazy??
