Specialized Field Gear
of The Soviet Superpower
(1960-1978)

This section contains specialized field gear that was in use by the Soviet military during the height of the Soviet Union's power.  In it you will find mine detectors, night vision systems, gas masks, and flight gear.  Much of this equipment was developed to keep up with the West during the Cold War.  Additional pieces of field gear will be added as they are acquired.  In any case we will attempt to place descriptions of each item along with detailed photographs.
