8x10cm – official-style insignia used by personnel of the RVSN (Raketnye Voiska Strategicheskogo Naznacheniya). The patch is made of durable fabric and features a Velcro (hook) backing for attachment to standard Russian military uniforms, especially those associated with nuclear missile forces.

The design typically includes a missile motif, crossed swords, or a starburst pattern, symbolizing readiness and deterrence capability.

This patch is used by servicemen stationed at missile bases, command centers, and mobile launch brigades across Russia. It is also sought after by collectors interested in strategic and nuclear-related military gear.

Historical Background – Russian Strategic Missile Forces (RVSN):

The Strategic Missile Forces (RVSN) are a separate branch of the Russian Armed Forces responsible for Russia’s land-based nuclear deterrent. Formed in 1959 during the Cold War, RVSN remains a critical part of national defense, operating intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) such as Topol-M, Yars, and Avangard.

The RVSN operates fixed and mobile missile systems and maintains strict readiness protocols. While not directly involved in conventional combat operations, its strategic role ensures national security through nuclear deterrence.

Patches representing RVSN are symbols of this elite service branch and are worn with pride by its members.
