What influenced the design on the Cuban uniform (during Fidel Castro's era)?I think it was Soviet influence since the USSR was a supporter?

Good morning Garuda,

This thread - requires - mentioning the influence of Fidel Castro being seen wearing the US Army's M-65 field jacket !

Of course even though Soviet supplies replaced American uniforms, US material was still seen in newspictures well into the Cold War when Cuba was in the Soviet camp.

Warm regards,

Bob
