Warrug.com selects only the very best to offer to our clients, and it is obvious what sets this war rug apart from the rest. On the top of this war rug is a line of helicopters. Just below them there is a tank on the right and to the left of that tank is a remarkable depiction of a tank in three point perspective. There is another tank like this in the main map of Afghanistan. This is extremely rare and never before seen in these types of Soviet exodus war rugs.
