The Soviet airborne forces were mostly used as 'foot' infantry during the war. Only a few small airborne drops were carried out in the first desperate days of Operation Barbarossa, in the vicinity of Kyiv, Odessa, and the Kerch peninsula. Later in the war, additional airborne corps were created for actual airborne operations in the pursuit of German forces after the Battle of Kursk.
Makirovochnyi kamuflirovannyi kostium or MKK, printed with large reddish-brown amoeba shapes on a light green or khaki background was introduced in 1938. It was in service with engineers, snipers, airborne forces, forward artillery observers and reconnaissance units throughout the Second World War.
