The order itsels outlines the general principles.

Quite actual, and not just general, I would say, including the color of ties, the type of hats etc.
And does not delegate regulations to other ministries/services, it delegates the manufacturing (порядок изготовления).
Of course, all up-to-bottom regulation have to conform to the aforementioned regulations.
The problem is that they were changed and amended and revised many times, and every ministry/service tries to issue its own regulations.
But you'll never find any regulation about some "exams" for the wearing of some "special" camo, or authorising the wearing of non-national camo/badges, or condoning non-official badges. Never.

I did not mean the 100 but the 115mm cannon in a combo with the 57mm autocannon. So the 115/57 combo replaces the 100/30 combo.

The 57 rips through newer IFV's/MRAP's/APC's or even parts on a MBT and the 115 Kills MBT's, fires ATGM's and such things.



1: Indeed, 115mm is inferior to the 125mm.

2: The 115 needs to replace the 100 to accomodate bigger warheads and to launch bigger ATGM's.

For the rest, BMP/BMD serie's should get a new design with vastly improved armour and far better electronics. Also it should get a RWS.

Why not to use a medium pressure 125mm with a 57mm auto cannon.... It takes the same time to reload a 115mm or 125mm..... The IFV you are taking about it is same size and weight of a T-72 , t-80 and t-90.....

this is so embarassing



every 3rd world army in the world does this sideshow crap, eating glass, breaking boards wiht their heads, carny type stuff. What does it actually do to increase their combat effectiveness? nothing.

When I see this I think of crap armies like Pakistan, they love doing this sideshow stuff instead of actually practicing strategy, SEAR, integrating technology on battalion level, etc, things that would actually make a unit more effective.

Its just that I never see any capable, modern armies like US, Israel, French, etc, doing this sideshow crap.

and whats the deal with the guy wearing a georgian flag? please..

Why so serious?

Actually it does. (section 3)

а также правила ношения военной формы одежды, знаков различия военнослужащих, ведомственных знаков отличия и иных военно-геральдических знаков определяются соответствующим федеральным органом исполнительной власти, в котором федеральным законом предусмотрена военная служба

*regulations for uniform wearing, badges of rank, agency's badges and other geraldic badges assigned by agency*

Lurk FSB 2008' uniforms order for example

The problem is that they were changed and amended and revised many times, and every ministry/service tries to issue its own regulations.
But you'll never find any regulation about some "exams" for the wearing of some "special" camo, or authorising the wearing of non-national camo/badges, or condoning non-official badges. Never.

IIRC, orders concerning berets and other qualifications are ussued by heads of commads (e.g. VV Commander) and by regiment or brigade commanders. And it's kinda official by fact of it's existence (kinda tradition became a law)
And there's no national or non-national camo. There's just "field dress of camo pattern"
Badges and other furniture is designed by agency (or by department of it - look FSB regulations for example) - like Geraldic departmetn of MoD.

Here are the official documents about Red beret (unfortunately, in Russian language) Who really wants to know about it - can translate it, using translator.. - http://osn.bkb-vityaz.ru/beret.php

Lesa--thanks for the great material!

Years ago someone posted pics of red beret training and the soldiers' AK74's were literally covered in sand and mud.

I don't suppose you have some photos like this, do you?

Thanks.

The beret received after examination is typical - army from a warehouse. After delivery, it is sewn up, washed, given the form, dries in the special way and becomes such, as at others. There are those who buys a new beret. When the beret becomes old - it varies on new and takes a worthy place on a regiment at home.

Look, please, on page 1307-1308 of this forum.

Yes, thank you. I saw those. Those pics made me think of the ones I'm talking about.

The ones I remember were larger sized pics and one showed a rack of AK74's as if the men had just stacked them in a wheelbarrow or something. I remember several pics of the rifles simply encrusted in mud, sand and gunk. I'm betting they are pics that Roman took at one time.

I saw them posted to a thread at AK47.net several years ago, but they have been removed.
