.. All the officers sat down for some unknown reason ...
short shirts, no weapons, and ammunition belts ...

I think - not very convenient, "walk up to the wind" with weapons and a belt with a cartridge belt.
And if you do not pick up a shirt, it can be dirty >

My answer to Comrade Guriev , Igor ( a).
The issue involves not fitted clothing and a blind design. No , even in the Soviet Army was not in the armed forces engaged in actual combat operation . I was just in this part, in slippers on the parade ground of course we did not go for the constructions were also in form , but in the " fields" or on its military installations and soldiers , and officers used a convenient odezhu . More often it was a military uniform , by the way . But when I had to climb the mast of the antenna (15 meters in height ), I and my men did it in sneakers.
With regard to the service in Central Asia, for example in Afghanistan, see photo .
