This is an example of a 1980's rug featuring AK74. The cutaway APC's and helicopters showing the seating inside is classic for the type, and it influenced other rugs.

This rug was woven at a refugee camp, probably in Pakistan, but since I first discovered war rugs, it has been argued these rugs were woven by refugees in Iran.

This rug was bought second hand, and it is a little dusty, but he condition is very good.
