In sale Soviet desert camo mesh for Afghan era helmets. 

During Afghan war, the Soviet army experienced a shortage of camouflage equipment, especially with covers for helmets. There are almost no samples left in stocks from WW-2 and the 50-yes, besides, it were more suitable for fields and forests, cases of new colors (Butan and Birch) were just beginning to be produced, besides, butan camo was also too dark for Afghanistan.

Under these conditions, the soldiers themselves began to sew covers for helmets from desert camouflage nets and burlap, and soon army workshops began to do the same. The new covers worked well and provided excellent camouflage, but soon after the Afghan war they were put to stocks and forgotten.
