Drone Operator Russian Patch “Bottom Light ON” 5x7cm – Russian PVC UAV Tactical Patch

This compact 5×7 cm PVC patch is designed for Russian drone operators and UAV field technicians. It features the inscription “НИЖНЯЯ ПОДСВЕТКА ВКЛ” (Bottom Light ON) in white Cyrillic lettering along with a stylized bulb icon — a humorous yet practical patch referencing drone light signals during night ops or landings.

Made from flexible, durable PVC with Velcro backing, the patch is water-resistant and ideal for attachment to plate carriers, arm sleeves, or drone controller pouches.

Historical Background – Drone Patches in Modern Conflict:

Since the rise of FPV and reconnaissance drone use in the Special Military Operation (SMO), operators have formed their own subculture — complete with specific gear, slang, and patches. This patch represents that evolution — it’s often worn by drone specialists involved in battlefield surveillance, kamikaze drone launches, or artillery adjustment.

Such patches serve both as identification and morale-boosting elements among UAV crews across active fronts in Ukraine.
