Adoption of the iron-on badge for National Guard uniforms ensures consistent insignia display during missions. The Russian 28th Special Forces Ratnik Patch 9 cm reflects the evolution of identification for Rosgvardiya spetsnaz, following the traditions of both Soviet and modern Russian internal troops.
