During the Soviet Union's war in Afghanistan, the issue of the lack of special uniforms became acute. The mountainous terrain with strong winds demanded something more than the usual equipment for the Soviet soldiers. In 1981 the specialists created the "Gorka" suit based on the German experience. At the end of the war, the suit did not disappear, but due to its characteristics it remained in military units and became available to the civilian.
