Historical Background – Russian Air Force Cold Weather Gear:

Russian Air Force pilots operating in extreme environments are equipped with specialized cold weather uniforms that provide protection at high altitudes and in freezing ground conditions. These suits are typically issued to bomber and tactical aviation units across northern and eastern regions.

Flight suits like this one have been used in both peacetime training and real deployments. Uniforms bearing specific names such as Kovalyov A.P. are rare and valuable for collectors, especially when linked to known pilots or units that participated in modern conflicts, including the SMO.
