Russian 6th Guards Tank Regiment Flag

135×90 cm

This Russian 6th Guards Tank Regiment Flag 135×90 cm is designed in a dramatic black and red palette featuring the Soviet-style Red Star, tank silhouettes, and bold mottos. It serves as a modern armored forces banner, representing an elite Russian tank regiment active within mechanized ground operations.

At the center of the layout is the classic Red Star, flanked by two green T-90 tanks and a beige armored vehicle — each set over a black background. Positioned above is the full-service insignia of the Russian BTv (armored troops), marking this as a Red Star tank troops flag used in ceremonial and commemorative displays.

The vertical slogan in Cyrillic — “Броня крепка и танки наши быстры!” — translates to “Our armor is strong and our tanks are fast!”, a legacy line from Soviet military doctrine. This motto classifies the banner as a tank brigade motto banner, blending military heritage with visual impact.

This item also falls within the category of black military tank flags, used by collectors and reenactors alike. The BTv insignia at the top makes it a BTv patch insignia flag, identifying the regiment’s affiliation with Russian armored command.

The striking visuals and organization of crests align this piece with a Russian ground forces armored symbol, suitable for military-themed rooms, exhibitions, or unit-level commemoration. It also qualifies as an armored division display flag, particularly representing modern Russian tank forces under the Ground Forces structure.

Historical Background:

The 6th Guards Tank Regiment has its roots in Soviet armored warfare tradition and continues to serve in the Russian Ground Forces. The regiment earned its “Guards” title for exemplary performance in World War II and has retained its prestige through post-Soviet reorganizations.

Units bearing this designation have participated in numerous exercises and deployments across Russian territories and in training operations aligned with modern combined arms strategy. The regiment operates under BTv (tank troops), specializing in breakthrough operations and maneuver warfare with main battle tanks.

The slogan “Броня крепка и танки наши быстры” originates from a famous Soviet song and became a motto embedded into armored forces identity — representing power, speed, and impenetrability. Flags with this inscription remain popular across modern tank divisions.
