combination of dyslexia, fat fingers, and brain out running my fingers. i've been seeing posts i've made all over today like that.
No, not what you wrote - the Cyrillic in the actual ad reads "Tigr". I had to learn Cyrillic script to read Russian maps, but don't know enough Russian to actually translate it all the way into English. Once upon a time, Russian maps were the most accurate and up to date tactical and strategic maps of Afghanistan. Even the CIA had nothing in print to rival them.
I think the Russians also have a camouflage pattern named "tigr". It looks like a cross between Vietnamese tiger stripe with Portuguese "brush stroke" camo from the old days in Angola.
