Hi comrades,
I'd like to ask for your help if you have any references that can help about modern soviet tank insignias or regimental/divisional markings?
Unit markings that were in Afghanistan are of great help.
Cheers!

Reporting for duty!
Iking,
I have the Tankograd and Osprey books of the T-62. There are lot of photos of T-62 in Russo/ Afgan war. The unit numbers and marking are consisting of the same white 3 digit numbers that also where used in the whole sovjet union.
The only extra thing i spotted where the special markings of the order of red banner on the searchlicht and a maz 537 with the markings of the land Afganistan with some Russian text on the front of the vehicle.
Regards,
Remco
