Russian Flag of 345th Airborne Regiment “Bagram”

135×90 cm VDV Banner

This 135×90 cm military banner represents the legendary 345th Airborne Regiment Flag 135×90 Russia, a unit historically tied to the Soviet and Russian VDV. The design includes a large yellow star with a parachute and aircraft silhouette, surrounded by the regiment’s name and the word “Bagram”, referencing the unit’s combat deployment in Afghanistan.

Down the right side runs the phrase “Никто кроме нас,” the official motto of the Russian Airborne Troops. This slogan has become closely associated with the identity and spirit of paratroopers across generations. The bottom of the flag features three prominent Soviet military decorations — the Order of the Red Banner, the Order of the Patriotic War, and the Order of the Red Star — symbolizing the regiment’s decorated history.

This VDV paratrooper flag is often displayed at veteran events, commemorative ceremonies, or used in reenactments. The lightweight fabric and stitched edges make it suitable for both indoor mounting and field use. Its historic reference to Bagram Airborne operations gives it distinct relevance among collectors of Afghanistan war flags.

As a Russian military paratrooper flag, it also connects to broader themes of airborne service, especially within the framework of Soviet and modern Russian operations. The design also aligns with the iconography found in many Soviet Airborne banners, emphasizing continuity in tradition.

Historical Background:

The 345th Airborne Regiment was deployed to Afghanistan in 1979 and stationed at Bagram for nearly a decade. It became one of the most experienced combat units of the Soviet VDV during that war. After the withdrawal, the regiment continued service under Russian command until its transformation in the 2000s. Veterans of this regiment are still active in commemorative events, and this tactical Russian flag remains a symbol of their legacy.
