Soldier & V Morale Patch

8x10cm – an unofficial combat-style patch designed to mimic the appearance of standard Russian field uniform insignia. Created in a strict subdued color scheme, the patch combines the silhouette of a soldier and the prominent “V” symbol, often seen on gear and vehicles in current operational zones.

This is a morale patch, not tied to any specific unit, and is commonly used by volunteers, contract fighters, or support personnel. The Velcro (hook side) backing allows easy placement on uniforms, plate carriers, or tactical bags.

Such patches are typically manufactured in small batches and serve both as personal identifiers and symbols of solidarity among fighters.

Historical Background – Use of “V” and Morale Patches:

In recent years, Russian military and irregular units have adopted simplified morale patches that reflect participation in certain operations or express loyalty and unit pride. The “V” symbol, alongside “Z”, has been observed on equipment, vehicles, and field uniforms during active military deployments.

While not part of formal uniform regulation, such patches are tolerated and widely used among front-line personnel. They are also favored by volunteers and private military supporters as visual markers of involvement.

This patch continues that tradition, replicating the formal field look while functioning as an unofficial piece of identification and morale support.
