Sky blue is for VDV, I know that, but Royal blue ones are ones Ukrainians sell as KGB berets. If the beret is blue but does not have evidence of any stitching/seams, liner/lining, or sweatband, is is a naval beret for females. |

Sky blue. I read that the " red flash " was a simbol of elite of the elite.
I have seen pictures of russian federation troops with the same triangular thing but the color of the russian flag |

I meant the insignia. Red may have been a guards unit color. It was probably too expensive to make the st. george ribbon into a cloth flash. In the russian federation guards flashes are metal and like this:
