GRAPEVINE, Page 13For the Man Who Has Everything
By JANICE CASTRO
Entrepreneurs in the former Soviet Union are selling
military equipment cheap, just in time for those hard-to-fill
Christmas lists. Night-vision goggles, worth thousands of
dollars, are going for as low as $80, while pressure suits
($15,000), worn by high-flying spy pilots, can be had for $150.
The out-of-work military men selling the stuff have discovered
a fashion premium in Soviet flight jackets, which are fetching
$500. Accessories? Flight helmets with red stars go for $50.
