Can somebody explain this shit? Most of the Soviet army was apparently equipped to fight this way as late as 1986, the units in Afghanistan had slightly more practical uniforms but they were the exception. I mean it looks nice, but I can scarcely think of a more impractical or (even for the period) obsolete battledress. What the actual fuck?

Soviet doctrine was to fight right out of their APCs. All the practical shit got stored in those battle taxis.

>Bright red shoulder boards and collar insignia

Pretty inconsequential honestly, the annoying shine of an SSh-68 will give you away before minute bits of red fabric will.

>Light colored khakish uniform instead at least going for an olive drab color

It blends in well in a variety of environments.

>High top combat boots

Those are called "jackboots," Anon. They slip on easily and quickly, and are comfortable if fitted correctly. Pretty high-speed tbqh

>form fitting "utility" uniform, no cargo pockets.

Ultimately unnecessary, anything of practical significance is tucked away in pouches or your rucksack, where it is easy to access and will not get lost.

The main flaw of Soviet battledress is the Y-strap/belt complex, it is designed in a way that allows the belt pouches to slide around and are annoying as fuck. Comfort in general took a backseat in Soviet equipment design.

As for OP's question
>Light colored khakish uniform instead at least going for an olive drab color

Kinda stupid not going for uniformity, also the camos the soviets had were never standardized (still aren't, surpat clashing with newer ones)

>High top combat boots

Also stupid, unlike normal boots these don't give much more ankle support and would be very iffy in different environments. Dated design overall, good for thick socks though (note the russians didn't start issuing socks till 2013)

>form fitting "utility" uniform, no cargo pockets.

Really think more pockets would be better honestly, yeah you can use pouches on the web gear but the web gear itself doesn't facilitate that very well compared to US and British systems.

You mean an army commanded by a totalitarian government that only saw things in the form of spreadsheets and loadoits would not allow for individual comfort and customization even to the point of simple pockets? Get the fuck out.

For instance, in the USA the Army has big cargo pockets on the outside of their utility uniforms. One would think that these pockets could be used for whatever could fit in them. Nope. If the pockets present a "bulky" appearance that soldier is WRONG, FIX IT NOW.

That is in a modern touchy feely military of nothing but volunteers. Imagine the doctrine adherence of a military of a brutal dictatorship.

Why would you want OD instead of khaki when you inna afghanistan? They also had more than one kind of uniform, including summer ones.

Dumb nigger Russian/Uzbek/Tajik terrain isn't the same as the US. There's a lot less reason to run OD everything.

Kill yourself OP.
