Russian Baltic Fleet Navy Patch
8x10cm – official embroidered patch of the Baltic Fleet, one of the oldest and most historically significant formations of the Russian Navy (VMF). This insignia measures 8×10 cm and comes with a Velcro (hook side) backing, making it suitable for use on naval uniforms, jackets, or display boards.
The Baltic Fleet, headquartered in Kaliningrad, plays a crucial role in Russia’s maritime defense and power projection in the Baltic Sea region. The patch typically features traditional naval heraldry such as anchors, St. Andrew’s cross, or fleet emblems, reflecting its affiliation with Russia’s strategic naval command.
This Russian military patch is worn by sailors, officers, and marines assigned to Baltic Fleet vessels, coastal units, and naval aviation elements. The Velcro backing ensures convenience and field readiness.
