Russian 234th Airborne Regiment Flag

135×90 cm

This Russian 234th Airborne Regiment Flag 135×90 cm features the signature blue-and-green field used across VDV (Airborne Forces) banners, combined with golden airborne insignia. At the center is a bold parachute and aircraft emblem banner, the official mark of Russian paratroopers.

The text “Никто кроме нас” — translated as Nobody but us — highlights the unit’s elite status and serves as the universally known VDV motto. This detail qualifies the flag as a Nobody but us motto flag, rooted deeply in paratrooper tradition.

Positioned on the right are unit designations for the 234th Guards Airborne Regiment, part of the 76th Guards Air Assault Division, historically based in Pskov. This makes the banner part of a broader tradition of VDV Pskov Division Banners used in ceremony and honor displays.

The lower section includes two Soviet-era medals: the “For Courage” and the “Order of Suvorov,” adding legacy context and qualifying this design as a Soviet paratrooper legacy symbol. The color scheme, historical symbols, and medal integration place this among modern Russian airborne flags used by active-duty and veteran communities.

It’s also often referred to as a Paratrooper Black Sea regiment flag, especially in relation to ceremonial deployments in southern Russia.

Whether part of a reenactment, display, or collection, this flag captures the visual and historical essence of elite airborne tradition in post-Soviet Russia.

Historical Background:

The 234th Guards Airborne Regiment was formed during World War II and is part of the prestigious 76th Guards Air Assault Division, one of the oldest and most celebrated units in the Russian VDV. It has been stationed in Pskov, taking part in major military operations from Soviet times through modern-day deployments.

The regiment earned multiple decorations for bravery, and its personnel have participated in operations in the Caucasus, Crimea, and beyond. The slogan “Nobody but us” remains the battle cry of the Airborne Forces and reflects the esprit de corps of the unit.

Over the decades, the 234th has maintained its elite status, acting as a rapid deployment and strategic readiness formation. The combination of blue sky and green field on the flag symbolizes airborne mobility and ground combat capability — the essence of VDV.
