Current uniforms? - willie777 - 03-09-2007
Can anybody help me find (any) info on the composition (authorized components, patches, etc.) of this uniform?
Current uniforms? - January - 03-09-2007
It kind of reminds me of these M94 and M97 VDV uniforms. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find any info on that one. Seems more recent than any of my references.

I forgot to mention that it is a picture of a MVD Spetsnaz unit in some sort of parade. Spetsnaz uniforms I think either ARE VDV uniforms, or are based on them.

Any pics (especially full body) would be appreciated.
Typical MVD Spetznaz insigna setup.
MVD Patch (cloth) - uniform (body armour, tactical assault vest)/back
MVD Badge (metal) - beret
MVD Badge (subdued metal) - patrol cap
Russian Flag (cloth) - beret
2 Rank Tabs/Epaulettes (camouflaged cloth) - uniform/shoulders
2 MVD Emblems (subdued metal) - uniform/collar tabs
Blood-type Patch (camouflaged cloth, rectangular) - uniform/left breast
Spetsnaz Patch (camouflaged cloth, rectangular) - uniform/right breast
MVD Spetsnaz Emblem Patch (camouflaged cloth) - uniform/right sleeve
Russia MVD Patch (camouflaged cloth) - uniform/left sleeve
MVD Spetsnaz Patch (cloth, round) - body armour/front
Seems strange but the camo looks like the newer "Flora" BDU standard issue pattern as used most Russian Army regiments rather than a special MVD or para camo :confused: saying that, for example Vityaz wear the regular uniforms of the Russian army with the MVD Internal Troops flag patch worn on the left sleeve. Also they sometimes wear MVD specific patterns that are disimilar to the VSR uniforms, Such as Tigerstripe and Partizan.
"Flora" BDU

The captain appears to not be wearing the blood type patch on his left chest. Any idea to where he would be wearing it if he even is?
Current uniforms? - Taz - 03-19-2007
Well if not on the uniform at all the Blood group will certainly be on his Dog Tags. Strictly speaking he should have one sewn on as do the others, it is standard to have it on all types of combat gear.

Since the Russian uniforms have chest pockets, the academy badge is shown below worn on the pocket. Now, how would a russian guards badge be worn with an academy badge?
Current uniforms? - Taz - 04-01-2007
On the same pocket in a straight line and to the right most likely.

To its own left, or the viewer's right
Current uniforms? - willie777 - 04-02-2007
No, I meant Russian, not Soviet. I know the guards badge is to the viewer's left of the Academy badge. However Russian uniforms have pockets and the academy badge is centered on the pocket if worn alone. I was wondering if the academy badge would be moved left and the guards badge would be place to the right of it, or the guards badge would be mounted off the pocket. But Eddie answered that already.
