Changed some optic tags. In American service the Elcan 3.4x is designated M145 RCO or MGO, it has a different crosshair set, and lacks tritium illumination, that is present on the C79 used by the CAF
Added the t-series_china tag, and fixed the mis-identification (pictured is a group of Type 62s (type-62_light_tank), which are a light, 21 ton variant of the Type 59.
Redid the Posts to include the specific variant of the T-series, these being the Chinese flavoured ones. (t-series_china, theres also one for t-series_north_korea as well as t-series which implies the regular, Warsaw Pact ones.)
Added the specific tank model (new tag, T-62 1972 (t-62_1972)) as well as the "Parade Livery", of which the remnants are visible on the right mudguard. These liveries were often used when parading the tanks around in Kabul, though they were never taken off some vehicles.

The coloring on the rifle is curious, it looks almost red
The dye coating FN used for their military contract M16s was extremely weak(sometimes), and since the dyes are usually based on a very dark purple color to make "black", once they start wearing or sun-baking, the guns start to turn a purple hue
Ref pic of rare engineering SMK uniforms produced by Sturm (same factory that produces 6Sh122) in Spektr camo. Very similar suit to the 6Sh122, except the suit is non-reversible and in different camouflage. I saved this ages ago and haven't been able to find a primary source, but I'll keep looking.
