Russian Special Operations Forces Patch

8x10cm – field-grade tactical insignia representing the elite ССО – Силы специальных операций Российской Федерации. Produced from high-durability embroidered fabric with Velcro (hook side) backing, this patch is intended for use on combat uniforms, tactical vests, or gear packs.

Often seen in low-visibility formats suitable for operational environments, this patch features minimalist or stylized emblems associated with Russian SSO – such as wings, swords, or special forces iconography.

Worn by elite operatives trained for high-risk missions, counter-terrorism, sabotage, and special reconnaissance, this patch is a symbol of one of Russia’s most capable military components.

Historical Background – Russian Special Operations Forces (ССО):

The SSO were officially formed in the early 2010s as a dedicated strategic special operations branch under the General Staff. Modeled on global counterparts such as U.S. SOCOM, the Russian SSO are designed for covert, high-value missions, deep reconnaissance, and foreign operational support.

Operators are drawn from across the military and undergo extensive selection and advanced training in sabotage, mountain warfare, diving, HALO/HAHO jumps, and intelligence gathering.

They have been reportedly involved in several modern operations, though most details remain classified. The SSO insignia has since become recognizable among modern military enthusiasts and collectors of elite force gear.
