Some new Cuban items I picked up

I know the jump wings are Cuban but I don't know if the medal is Cuban or Soviet.

I'm guessing with the 1962 date it has something to do with the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The patch feels like felt on the front. Don't know if it is real or Memorex?

Hi there

i don't put 2 cents on the patch, too many repro in recent years invaded the market.
Legit para badge.
I've searched for the soviet medal but i didn't find any references

the side with the flags translates to "Warrior Internationalist" roughly

the other side translates to "defender of the Cuban Revolution 1962"

Russian quality control.

Maybe the ribbon is backwards on one of ours?
