Suspensions, Ribbons, Ribbon Bars And Order Of Precedence.
Here's an Afghan-War-era ribbon bar. I think it is the Order of the Sun in the last place (where it doesn't belong?) but corrections would be welcomed.

And an early thin plastic one.

I am trying to identify the awards in a ribbon bar and got them all nailed - except for the last one. Colorwise I thought Cuba would be a winning horse, but I cannot find it. Any ideas?

Well, it´s too broad to be cuban... (BTW there is a cuban award at the top right row, next to the DDR faithful service ribbon).

I´d lean towards Hungary because of the size of the ribbon and the red-white-green combo.
There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

Good guess, but like nothing Hungarian I have ever seen.

I checked with the excellent site RIBBONS OF ORDERS AND DECORATIONS OF THE WORLD but no match. Hungarian awards usually have red-white-green combo, this is more dark blue - red - turqoise.

How about Romanian? Perhaps one of the Securitate orders/medals!

Romanian awards´ ribbon bars have almost the same width as soviet. This one is way too large to be romanian.

Can we get an idea of the context? What army's officer is wearing them?
