The Airborne Forces (airborne 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, 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 of the Airborne Forces by military personnel 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, individual units of the airborne troops were allowed to develop and also use special insignia of the Russian Airborne Forces when wearing uniforms. 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 Airborne Forces units, most of the signs or stripes are represented by a blue background - a symbol of commitment to the sky, the nobility of deeds and a parachute - which determines courage, special training.
Emblems and badges of paratroopers
In accordance with the regulation on the form and types of signs of belonging to a certain division of the Ministry of Defense, their following classification has been adopted:
- emblem (three types are provided);
- landing sign on the shoulder part of the sleeve;
- sign of the airborne troops to be placed on the chest of a soldier (two options).

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;
- to verify the authenticity of military patches, other attributes of a military uniform, you should refer to the order of the Ministry of Defense with a description of the uniform samples 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 truly masculine 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 of individual 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. The paratroopers of the USSR Airborne Forces 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 badge that adorned the chest of an airborne paratrooper was a badge in the form of an opened blue parachute. 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 good physical fitness, 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 badge "Excellence in the Airborne Forces" at that time had the interpretation "Excellence in 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.
Airborne Forces medals, for what merits they were issued
Veterans of the airborne troops are the backbone and pride of the Russian army. For these people, such concepts as “military duty” and “service to the Fatherland” are inseparable, therefore a special award was established. This insignia is called the medal "Veteran of the Airborne Forces". There is also another commemorative medal "In memory of the service."
Symbolism plays a huge role in life, especially now. After all, it is by people who judge the quality of a product or service. But this is not an innovation of advertisers. Many centuries ago, noble families and state organizations had their own emblems, shields and flags. Today we will tell the history, origin and just interesting facts related to the coat of arms of the Airborne Forces.
Emblem history
The emblem of the Airborne Forces, or rather, the emblem was created relatively recently, in 2005. From that moment on, all official documentation, as well as paratrooper paraphernalia, began to be decorated with a golden grenada with wings. This symbol was chosen for a reason. Paratroopers are considered elite troops precisely because a great responsibility is placed on their shoulders, their work is associated with great risk. Many military men who have connected their lives with this profession do not live up to retirement, but ascend to heaven much earlier. To perpetuate the memory of all those who died in battle, as well as to express the essence of the work of the paratroopers, wings were attached to the grenada.
In addition to the main emblem, which is considered small, the Airborne Forces have two more variations of the coat of arms. The middle one is very reminiscent of the Russian coat of arms. It depicts a double-headed eagle. In one paw he holds a golden grenade, and in the other a sword. An uninitiated person may say: "What is the connection between the landing troops and the sword?" In fact, as with many other symbols, there is an allegory here. The sword is a symbol of strength and courage. In the center of the coat of arms is a red shield, on which Gregory the Victorious pierces a snake with a spear. This point does not need any special explanation. Airborne Forces - part and as a sign of this part of the coat of arms was simply copied.
The large emblem is a small and medium version enriched with oak branches. The winged grenada is placed on a blue shield, which symbolizes the sky. At the top of this emblem is placed the second coat of arms of the Airborne Forces - a double-headed eagle with George the Victorious in the center. In this version, oak branches are an allegory of the Greek laurel, but only in Russian interpretation. Oak is the same national Russian tree as birch. And since it is considered one of the strongest in its category, it is not surprising that the elite troops chose these leaves as their symbol.
Flag History
The flag has the same symbolic meaning as the coat of arms of the Airborne Forces. It depicts a golden skydiver with an open parachute. Two planes are visible on its sides. This logo appeared before the official emblem, in 2004. The flag is divided into two unequal parts. 2/3 of the top of the flag is occupied by a large blue stripe. She symbolizes the sky. It is in this part that a parachutist with airplanes is located. The second part of the flag is green. It symbolizes the pure land. The entire flag is made in rather bright colors, which means a peaceful sky and earth, which the soldiers of the Airborne Forces are called upon to protect.
Where is used
The coat of arms of the Russian Airborne Forces can be seen everywhere on August 2. Even in the smallest cities of our country or in the urban settlements, former and current paratroopers celebrate their holiday. The flag of the Airborne Forces is hung out in all specialized military units, not only on their own holiday, but also during official Russian events, it is officially raised on the flagpole. During mourning events, for example, in memory of the fallen paratroopers, the flag is flown at half mast.
Now it is also fashionable to decorate private houses with various symbols. Therefore, successful retired paratroopers often use the flag or coat of arms of the Airborne Forces as a decoration of their home in memory of their past service. They put it on a flagpole on the roof or hang it at the front door. Symbols can also decorate the central gate.
How symbolism is used
The flag of the Russian Airborne Forces, the symbols of this military institution and various paraphernalia are now freely available. Anyone can purchase it at the military store. Therefore, not a single August 2 passes without automobile processions, from the windows of which the flags of the Airborne Forces look out, fluttering in the wind. Blue berets on this day often adorn the heads of all paratroopers and even those people who are only indirectly related to the flying troops.
The coat of arms of the Airborne Forces in the vector is freely available. Therefore, it is not surprising that with the advent of the holiday, and more and more often, people related to the airborne troops stick stickers with symbols on their cars. It can be a flag, coat of arms or just a picture with an inscription. For example, a parachute and the slogan "No one but us", which we will talk about a little later. It is difficult to say whether such a manifestation of one's devotion is necessary, but in any case, to some extent, this develops patriotism towards Russia as a whole.
Airborne slogan
The description of the flag of the Russian Airborne Forces will be incomplete if you do not talk about the motto of the flight guard. The landing troops are one of the elite units of the army, so men with excellent health and good physical data are taken there. The service is difficult, and in the event of a military alarm, the demand from this unit will be the greatest. It's always been that way, ever since the first time they went on a mission. It was in the first operation, which took place in 1941, in the heat of hostilities, the motto was born: "No one but us." It very capaciously reflects not only the self-confidence of the paratroopers, but also the real situation. There were, are, and, unfortunately, will be hostilities in which it is impossible to do without airborne troops. They help a lot in operations where infantry, artillery and naval divisions simply cannot get through.
The history of the creation of elite troops
The coat of arms appeared only in the 2000s, and they themselves went on their first task 60 years earlier. The first operation in which paratroopers participated was carried out in 1941. It was when Moscow was captured by the Nazis that the help of heaven was very much needed. And it was from heaven that this help was received. The paratroopers were landed behind enemy lines and in bloody battles helped to destroy more than 15 thousand German soldiers, thereby providing extraordinary assistance to occupied Moscow. To date, the soldiers of the Airborne Forces have managed to take part in the Afghan and Georgian wars, have provided indispensable assistance in Chechen companies.
- To date, the Russian Airborne Forces remain the most numerous in Europe.
- During the Second World War, paratroopers had to jump while on board the airborne combat vehicles.
- The paratroopers' vests differ from the sailors' uniforms in the color of the stripes. The soldiers of the Airborne Forces are blue.
- Blue berets became part of the uniform only in 1969. Before that, they had a bright crimson color.
- One of the legends about why paratroopers bathe in fountains says that a real airborne soldier simply adores the sky. When he sees the reflection of his native element in the fountain, he wants to plunge into the clouds, even if they are reflected.
- In 2017, the Airborne Forces celebrated their holiday - the elite troops are already 87 years old.
