M88

M88 is the last of dress regulations for armed forces of the Soviet Union. It was meant to replace all battle dress uniforms of the red army by 1988. Because of the Afghanistan war, the Soviet Union adopted the new dress regulations very quickly beginning in 1985.

Features
The new cut of uniforms was very modern for the time. Compared to the previous dress regulations of 1969 (M69) the uniforms were much more loose fitting and had a more specified purpose than the previous M69 was (eg. Pants were not breeches anymore as the purpose of breeches was outdated at the time they were introduced).
