Modern Russian federation ushankas.

Does anyone have any pics of some modern Russian military ushankas? I also wanted to know what the inside looks like. Thanks!

This one is pre Russian Federation, dated 1989, but I don't think they've changed much.






The inside shows date of manufacture (89), trade mark. then 'Moscow PMK'. At the bottom is the size (58).
PMK is the Rostokinsky Fur Factory, Moscow, which made ushankas, leather flight helmets and other military fur products from pre war to present day. Nowdays, they're known as 'Russian Fur' and still have some military contracts.



I read a while back that the military are going to drop the Ushankas but not sure when this will happen.

Cheers, Willie.
