Captured Rocket Tubes, One was used as a map case (originally posted by nkomo)

These pics are of two captured Warsaw Pact manufactured rocket tubes. The metal one is definitely Soviet manufacture, the other I'm not 100% sure about. Whatever the case, these are rocket tubes that were captured in Nicaragua by the same gentleman that the propoganda booklet came from. If you look closely, the plastic one has a carrying handle. The gentleman I got this from said they used this tube to carry maps and documents to keep them dry in the jungle environment.



Close up of the cyrillic writing on the tube.
