Tal,
I don't know if they are genuine or not, but they are not fantasy. They are part of the 1989 new uniform project, that was never completed. I don't think they were actually distributed to the troops. Alexei Last edited by CtahhR; 09-17-2013 at 07:47 AM. |

These belong to the air search and resuce service which dealt with the recovery of cosmonauts, and civilian air disasters etc. The pataches were actually issued in 1990 (13th April the order was approved). Whether they were actually worn I am not too sure of but I would imagine that they were worn in limited numbers.

Vikingraider1,
I thought Search and Rescue patches were different. My information is from "Soviet Arm badges. 1920-91 (I)" by A. Stepanov, M., 1999. Alexei Last edited by CtahhR; 09-17-2013 at 07:47 AM. |

Sorry!! My head is leaking as usual. You are 100% correct. The badges above are actually draft badges which were designed to replaced the branch of service badges for both Fleet and Armed Forces. None were ever issued however....sorry for the confusion.
