Classic Model Compliant with NATO Patterns Seamless
Airborne (air- landing troops) are special units that are used to perform combat missions at the tactical depth of the enemy’s defense (raids, captures of strategic objects, sabotage work, etc.), where personnel are delivered from aircraft by landing.
The paratroopers are the elite of the armed forces, and belonging to them is a high honor. Distinctive badges and awards Airborne troops are earned by intensive training, successful completion of mostly impossible tasks.
The history of the appearance of insignia of the Airborne Forces
In addition to the generally accepted insignia of the Airborne Forces of the Russian Federation, enshrined in the directives of the Ministry of Defense, separate parts airborne troops allowed to develop and also use when wearing uniforms special characters Airborne Forces of Russia. As a rule, they were a reflection of the combat history of the unit where they were adopted.
The changes were made against the background of the observance of the mandatory requirements for the uniform of military personnel, in accordance with the orders of the Ministry of Defense, including:
- it is forbidden to wear signs, other paraphernalia permitted for use by command orders that have the right to do so. For example, if a decision is made to issue a commemorative badge of a paratrooper, then an administrative document is required that determines its status, describes the image, issue restrictions, and the procedure for delivery;
- the use of handicraft elements of uniforms that do not correspond to the established pattern (emblems, chevrons, insignia, etc.) is excluded;
- a chevron, for example, should be in the shape of a rectangle, the lower part should contain the emblem of the military branch. But this does not exclude the possibility of fixing by order, an addition to the regular sign - the name of a unit or a special element.
In the units of the Airborne Forces most of badges or stripes are represented by a blue background - a symbol of commitment to the sky, nobility of deeds and a parachute - defining courage, special training.

We will consider the options for making permitted changes (order of the commander No. 310) to the heraldry of signs using the example of the seventh guards airborne troops of the country. So, the addition received the following elements:
- due to the fact that the division is considered mountainous, the image of mountains is a natural addition;
- a parachute is depicted, symbolizing the special training of the personnel of the units;
- the shield is depicted in green color, and the piping is blue;
- the middle emblem is supplemented with a wreath of oak leaves, a guards ribbon and ribbons of state awards assigned to the unit.
This principle was used when making changes to the insignia of other airborne units. But you should pay attention to the fact that all symbols of the Airborne Forces are approved by order of the commander.

Differences of signs of the Airborne Forces from badges and medals
Distinguishing a fake from a real paratrooper badge, medal, order today is quite difficult. Modern technical capabilities to produce almost any award (attributes and badges of paratroopers of the Airborne Forces) are available to any entrepreneur who has spent funds on the purchase of equipment, the necessary raw material.
At the same time, as a rule, award documents are forged (ads are replicated on the Internet). But it remains possible to check whether this or that person received an award or badge of the Airborne Forces of this type.
You can do this in the following way:
- in addition to familiarizing yourself with the certificate (seal, signature), the owner can check the entry in military documents on the award of the badge;
- any award is accompanied by the execution of an administrative document with a list of persons to whom awards are presented. If this happens with a military unit - an order, a non-governmental organization - an order;
- for authentication of military patches, other attributes military uniform you should refer to the order of the Ministry of Defense with a description of the sample forms and the requirements for them.
At the same time, individual collectors are collecting valuable badges with army paraphernalia. Valid signs of the Airborne Forces, and even more so awards issued in a small circulation or having the status of "state", are in great demand. But there will not be a single veteran of the Airborne Forces who will sell his memory of the service and milestones of his success in the form of awards. The maximum - extreme need will force the veteran to leave the Sign of the Airborne Forces on bail, but they will be redeemed at the first opportunity.
The information provided above is for guidance only. But to a sufficient extent it will allow, if necessary, to restore the lost attribute of the Airborne Forces or to select the one necessary for the home collection.
The pride of the Russian Armed Forces is the airborne troops - the reserve of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief and the basis of the mobile rapid reaction forces of the Russian army. No wonder the motto of the Airborne Forces: "No one but us!".
A paratrooper is a person who combines true male traits- strong, brave, courageous. Belonging to the airborne troops is proud not only of men who served in the armies of the USSR and the Russian Federation, but also of their wives (there is even a special sign of the Airborne Forces “The Paratrooper’s Wife”), so the Airborne Forces medals are a special award for the paratrooper, deservedly given to their owner, a source of pride veterans and military personnel of the Airborne Forces.
The history of the appearance of airborne signs
From the moment the airborne troops appeared in individual divisions, special airborne insignia began to be created, and the design, even at the initial stage of their existence, was significantly different from the insignia of other military branches. The peculiarity lies in the fact that various signs of the Airborne Forces were designed to reflect the history of a particular military unit.
This led to the fact that the insignia of the Airborne Forces separate divisions have minor differences in details, but in general they are similar to many. For example, an integral attribute of almost all breastplates of the landing, regardless of the division, is the blue color - a traditional symbol of nobility and devotion to the sky.
Breast patches and lapel pins on the uniform of a paratrooper are complemented by chevrons, the shape of which has received certain changes over time. But in general, the emblems depicted on them are timeless. In 2019, an order was signed according to which modern chevrons should have a rectangular shape, in the lower part of which the emblem of the military branch is placed. Although the history of the appearance of chevrons and their interpretation in the classical sense implies that a chevron is a V-shaped galloon (patch).
Emblems and signs of the Airborne Forces
There are small, medium and large emblems of the airborne troops:
- The Small Emblem of the Airborne Forces depicts a golden flaming grenada with wings;
- The middle emblem of the Airborne Forces is crowned with an image of a double-headed eagle made of gold, whose wings are outstretched, holding a silver sword with its right paw, and a burning silver winged grenade with its left paw. The chest of the eagle is decorated with the Moscow coat of arms: a shield with a red stock, elongated triangular in shape, ascending to the crown; on the field of the shield is a rider - the Holy Great Martyr and Victorious George, striking the dragon with a spear;
- The large emblem (coat of arms) of the airborne troops is a synthesis of small and medium emblems in the form of a round blue heraldic shield framed by a round gold oak wreath - a symbol of strength, power, dignity.
The airborne troops have a fairly diverse system of medals, orders, badges and badges for various purposes. And all are divided into premium and are in free distribution. At present, it will not be difficult for an ordinary layman to purchase a sign of the Airborne Forces in any military trade store. Often, some unscrupulous sellers take advantage of the illiteracy of the townsfolk and give out souvenir awards for real ones. Not only do they profit from the ignorance of buyers, they also cause a huge insult to all real paratroopers.
Among other things, there are official and unofficial general landing sleeve insignia of the Airborne Forces. Airborne paratroopers The USSR wore sleeve insignia depicting a red five-pointed star. For modern representatives of the Russian Airborne Forces, the sleeve insignia is decorated with the image of a double-headed eagle (coat of arms of the Russian Federation) or a tricolor (flag of Russia).
Commemorative, anniversary medals of the Airborne Forces have become widespread. Such breastplates of the Airborne Forces adorn the chest of those who served in the airborne troops, but did not take part in hostilities, which is due to life in peacetime. Anniversary medals of the Airborne Forces, as well as badges of honor classifying the cavalier to the Airborne Forces, are an equivalent source of pride in relation to the combat awards of the Airborne Forces, because service in the airborne troops is one of the most responsible and difficult. Although real combat medals and awards cannot be compared with various signs that were and are issued in peacetime.
As a rule, a badge of distinction, including an award and badge: a medal, order or badge, was dedicated to specific deeds, memorable and anniversaries.
Usually the first sign that adorned the chest of a parachutist of the Airborne Forces was a badge in the form of an opened parachute. blue color. Such a sign was given immediately after the first parachute jump, the design changed slightly depending on the number of jumps. The value of this badge is not great, although for a real paratrooper it is a kind of "pass" to the world of the Airborne Forces.
A sign that classifies a paratrooper to a certain class could also be obtained by successfully passing the standards. The highest was the first class, the standards for which were more difficult and required a good physical training compared to the second and third.
In Soviet times, the badge "Excellence in the Airborne Forces" was quite common, which was represented by various variations depending on the year of issue and focus of activity. The airborne troops of the USSR were part of the ground forces, so the sign "Excellent Airborne Forces" at that time had the interpretation "Excellent SA" ( Soviet army). Over time, signs of a narrow focus were presented to the award of the Airborne Forces fighters, for example, “Excellent Miner”. The awarding of these signs was considered very prestigious, because. it was possible to receive such awards only by order of the commander for worthy service and the fulfillment of standards and tasks. The paratrooper, awarded the badge "Excellent Airborne Forces", was distinguished by the skill of a truly trained fighter in all directions. Currently, these unique signs with a 50-60-year history in various variations can sometimes be found at specialized flea markets.
