Original Item: Only One Available. If you have served in the military since the height of the Cold War then you are intimately familiar with these Green Ivan Targets. U.S. Marines often conduct live fire training on ranges that feature these "Ivan" targets. These thin green plastic shells look like three-foot-tall soldiers, but are meant to be given the appearance of being further away. Ivan has no distinguishable facial features and he only exists so that Marines (and Army) can pummel him with rifle and machine-gun bullets. That these simple targets are still called Ivan more than 20 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Cold War and decades spent preparing to fight the Red Army.

The target itself is in wonderful condition and still retains much of the original painted features. While the material itself is green dyed plastic, the human like features were stenciled on. Measures approximately 45 inches tall.

Comes more than ready for further research and display.
