Historical Background – Russian VDV Regulation Insignia:

The Airborne Troops (VDV) have been a vital part of Russian and Soviet military doctrine since 1930. Their insignia, including standardized sleeve patches, has evolved to include symbolic representation of airborne capability, guard status, and division affiliation.

Regulation patches like this one are a required element of field and garrison uniforms across all VDV units. Worn by troops in paratrooper regiments, assault brigades, and special forces detachments, they remain a consistent and recognizable symbol of service in one of Russia’s most elite military branches.
