Common card · No. 449611

The Obr.69 (English: Model 1969), also known as the M69, was a Soviet military uniform introduced in 1969 to replace the Gymnastyorka-style uniforms. It was used by all branches of the Soviet Armed Forces, except the Navy. Produced in a variety of styles, the Obr.69 remained standard issue until it was gradually replaced by the Afghanka uniform in 1988; however, it continued to be used by some Soviet successor states well after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The terms "Obr.69" and "M69" are retroactive modern designations.
