    First, I've heard some rumors about Russia not having non-commissioned officers (i.e. sergeants). Is this true?
    we have 3 sergeant's ranks in Army:
    junior (mladshiy) sergeant;
    sergeant;
    senior (starshiy) sergeant
    the same ranks are for police forces (militsiya), but with the words "of a police" added (e.g. starshiy sergeant militsii etc.)

    in NAVY they are correspondingly:
    3rd class petty officer (starshina vtoroy stat'i);
    2nd class petty officer (starshina pervoy stat'i);
    1st class petty officer (glavniy starshina)

    Hi guys,
    I am chasing some Hi-res pics of Russian Submarines so if anyone out there has any PLEASE post them it would make this "Old Salt" a happy man. I have found a few already but would like to see a few more. For some reason I'm hooked on the Rus Subs. (Mean Machines)
    Thanks - Hump

    What was the current position of the late Colonel-General Troshev?
    Was he in the army or in some sort of government/legislature position?

    Russian NCO-like rank goes under term "Praporshik" (Прапорщик) - Army, "Mitchman" (Мичман) - Navy - Rank between Soldiers and Officers. BUT Russian ranks don't equals US. Praporshik actually - Warrant officer rank, but he is doing what in US Army doing guys from Master sergeant to Chief warrant officer 5.

    in Russian army Sergeant is a soldiers rank (Enlisted) - corresponding to let's say - US from Private to Specialist. Soldiers ranks are:
    1.Private
    2.Efreitor - ****ty rank with lots of bad jokes (better to have doughter-prostitute than Son - Efreitor) for example.
    3.jnrSergeant
    4.Sergant
    5.snrSergeant
    6.Starshina

    I can mystake with US-ones coz all this "Pay Grade" system gives me headaches btw. Hope it helped

    This is SKS carbine, but I heard until recently VOHR units had
    Nagant revolvers and TT pistols as their service weapons,
    not sure about Mosin rifles though.
