Digging in my "strategic material" boxes I found these figures. I only have the bodies, no weaps, no helmet or any other complement.

I think they are Dragon kit. Vietnam era or posterior.

I will appreciate any help. Thank you.

Reasonably sure it is the Dragon Soviet Spetznaz set

I have a set and it was the boots that triggered the ID

That's the one! It's hard to believe that those were considered good figures back in the 1990s! The weapons and gear are good, though.

Good call! 

I was unable to even spot the boots as a key feature.  I kept imagining that the uniforms looked more fitting for WW2 era figures.
