Musical pause?

My favorite performer on the Afghan War is Igor Morozov, especially old recordings from the 80s. On the territory of the former USSR, in general, a very popular author's bard song. We call them "courtyard" - they were sung in the courtyards of houses with a guitar in the company of friends.

The driver of an armored vehicle with a long bangs, a mustache, a cigarette in his teeth and a sideways tank helmet has become a canonical image both for the Afghan war and for all wars in the ruins of the Soviet Union. For some reason I always remember the monologue of Major Umrilov

Photos of mujahideen wearing american uniform

I can throw pictures of the Mujahideen in the German barcode. These photos were taken, of course, after the war, but still, as a fact, it is very curious. My comrades and I argued about how these clothes could get there. As a fact, I can say that some of the military units that were in the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany took with them unnecessary clothing, and after that it (like weapons, equipment and military equipment) was dissolved in the civil wars of the 90s. I think that through Tajikistan or Uzbekistan, the barcode could get to Afghanistan calmly.

Герман баркод?Это какая часть формы)?
Аctually,GDR-army items were kinda popular in the third world conflicts.Especially in places where GDR did perform some kind of assistance.Its been seen in africa an latin america.So,it could be,that GDR supplied afghan army with its pieces of the uniform аt some moment,just like soviets did.Of course soviets supplied afghan army mostly with remnants of WW2 gear.But it would be a little awkward if germans start to distribute their WW2 uniform,if you know what I mean;)
Also West Germany,after annexation of the East,did launch dozens of stash-sales from ex-NPA storage warehouses.So it could get to afghanistan this way.
 
Uahuhahuhaah, google translator let me down. I was referring to the camouflage of the GDR army "stroke". I have no idea what it is called in the Western community. Про штрихтарн речь, "shtrihtarn". I am in German outfit in general "no belmes", I do not know anything. But it seems that this is the same camouflage that the German army did not manage to introduce due to the collapse of the social bloc.

As an example. Serviceman of the Airborne Assault Brigade of the Army of Kazakhstan in the form of the NNA of the GDR with shoulder straps of the USSR Airborne Forces and a cap in US Woodland American camouflage, 1996 year.

This is already a local civil war in the 1990s. As for "The Soviets will fail," I did not understand a little... What does the USSR have to do with it, if we are already talking about the 1990s? Moreover, this is not even Russia, but Kazakhstan.
 
Had Norinco CQ obviously pics in the Soviet-Afghan war?
