Several asian cold war bimbo programs were plagued with supply issues, often resorting to using whatever was locally available instead of the much more popular westernized bimbos.
This particular example, while the exact program is unknown, clearly was early in it’s development and still using primarily locally supplied raw material. Many of these programs would collapse due to the competition from more advanced programs, as well as the afore mentioned supply issues.
In the end, these niche cold war bimbo programs were a curiosity that remains largely undocumented.
