The Afghan war was not only the first large -scale military conflict of the New Age with the participation of Soviet military aircraft, but also a source of unique combat experience for all Air Force generations. For the first time after the long post -war period, new schemes of camouflage recently introduced in Soviet aviation were tested: decorative elements appeared on airplanes and helicopters - marks about combat sorties, pilots awards and various emblems. "On -board painting", so beloved in aviation of many countries, has not been welcomed for a long time, being considered not meeting the requirements of army discipline and a strict routine. The military atmosphere turned out to be more democratic, giving the opportunity to express aviators and the visible embodiment of their attitude to their combat vehicles.
Suppliers and scouts, fighters and helicopters acquired their emblems. As you know, every plane and helicopter has its own character and habits expressed in the features of piloting technique, convenience in circulation, performance and reliability. The drawings appeared on the sides, which provided the authors with great freedom of expression in the creation of the visual image.
Almost all samples of the well -known "on -board painting" have gone the past at the end of the Afghan campaign and later ceased to exist together with equipment removed from weapons. Only in isolated cases, the emblems that got from the Afghan war were destined to find a new embodiment, continuing their lives with the advent of a new generation aircraft
