Mord Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 I am looking for color pics of DRA Troops and Russians during the Afghan war...I need fairly decent close ups of their faces and the like... what I really want in the Russians pics are infantry in their soft caps and in helmets. I have spent about 20 hours searching and am just coming up empty...If anybody can help, I'd be really appreciative. Thanks. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mord Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 Thanks Alex...LOL. I am already a member there. I waded through some of those pics last week and can't seem to find any of late 70s early 80s era Russian helmets...I'll have to keep looking.

Mord Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 Hey Vin, thanks...I should've been clearer when I wrote that...I am actually looking for color pics of Soviet soldiers wearing those helmets...helmets or the soft caps they wore during Afghanistan... It's hard to find pics where they are in color and the faces are fairly clear. I was hoping there was some Russian site or something I was missing, that had loads of pics from the war...

You're welcome, I'll try again. Some color pics here all with soft caps, no helmets though. Looks like all VDV troops. http://englishrussia.com/index.php/2009/02/24/russians-left-afghanistan/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 Yep, I've been to that site too. They are decent pics but not for what I need them for. Good research stuff though. So'k though, I appreciate the help...I may need to do some Adobe magic. I am in the midst of finishing up a mod and I need a few more pics to help it along...ones where I can use the head shots...so the faces need to be pretty clear.

AslakH Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Gotta love those SS camo inspired uniforms that the russians use. Remember reading somewhere that they also used captured SS Oakleaf fabric to make uniforms after WW2. Been looking for some modern russian camo to buy.. But sorry, Mord. Can't help with the pic-thingy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
