Military uniform of a new type. Sewing uniforms for officers

21.10.2019

In 2015, the Russian army changed completely. All servicemen without exception have a new military uniform today. The plan of the Ministry of Defense of the Ministry of Defense, which consisted in the complete re-equipment of the army for more than a year, was fully implemented. This has been repeatedly stated by senior officials of the main military department. The need to change the ranks of the army of our country has existed for a long time. Together with the new set of uniforms, new rules for wearing it were introduced.

In 2014 alone, a new uniform was issued to half a million servicemen. The distribution of uniforms was carried out in accordance with the developed schedule. The transfer of servicemen began precisely with those who served in the regions of the Far North.

The general dressing up began in 2013, in 2014 it actively continued, but the bulk of the Russian servicemen issued a military uniform of an updated sample in 2015. Now the next turn is to review the naval and ceremonial military uniforms. Servants, men and women, will be completely disguised. Partly in the 2015 sample of the uniform of the Russian armed forces, there is a trend in the clothing of the US military.

Reforms in the field of uniforms of servicemen under Serdyukov

The Russian army has required modern military uniforms for a long time, and the current attempt to completely change the clothes of servicemen is not the first. Overseas clothing for military personnel is significantly superior in performance to the uniform of the military of our country. From time to time, the Ministry of Defense introduces samples of military clothing with more advanced characteristics. As a result of each such attempt, the country's budget loses huge amounts, and the dress uniform is even more unjustified costs.

For example, under the disgraced minister Anatoly Serdyukov, about 25 billion rubles were allocated to dress the Russian army. The price for the development and implementation of a new form in 2014-2015 so far it is kept secret, but given the scale of this process, it is safe to say that the amounts there are cosmic.

The military uniform has been taken for revision by the Ministry of Defense since 2007, including the dress uniform. The main initiative came from the then Minister of Defense A. Serdyukov. On a competitive basis, out of the sketches provided by the selected developers, the option that was proposed by the famous Russian fashion designer Valentin Yudashkin won. It took 2 years to prepare the final samples of the updated uniform. The presentation of the new form was held in 2010. In many respects, both external and operational, it was similar to the uniform of the employees of the US armed forces. But the developers in every possible way disowned such a comparison.

The Russian uniform for the winter season caused a lot of unflattering responses from both specialists and the servicemen themselves, who had to test new uniforms on themselves. Complaints were received by the Ministry of Defense almost every day. Due to the low operational characteristics of the new form, the number of colds in the army increased sharply in just one winter period. In addition, the external signs of the new form also caused discontent. After all, now the shoulder straps were not located in the usual place, on the shoulders, but following the example of the armed formations of the NATO bloc, were moved to the chest area. Plus, the quality of the material from which the mold was made also left much to be desired. The servicemen noted that the fabric quickly deteriorates and breaks, and the threads are frayed and also become unusable.

Among the other innovations, it should be noted the presence of a warm sweater in the clothing set of an officer of the Russian army, and the presence of separate components with Velcro, a narrowed model of overcoats, and the cancellation of footcloths and boots. By the way, the last cancellation was valid only according to documents, tk. in fact, it was far from immediately possible to come to this in the entire Russian army.

Due to numerous complaints and discontent on the part of the military, the military department began to think about the advisability of developing a new form.

Now we realized that model based on the uniform of the US military does not fit according to the conditions of our country. From now on, the military uniform used in the field included 19 items. It turns out that the kit has been significantly expanded. The price of one such set is approximately 35,000 rubles. The ceremonial military uniform has not yet undergone changes, because there is no urgent need for this. It was the field uniform that was much more important, and not the ceremonial one.

Complete set of modern uniforms for military personnel

The modern kit is a multi-layered suit. Depending on weather conditions and personal tastes, the military have the opportunity to personally select sets of clothing for themselves. Plus, from now on, the field uniform is identical for both the officer and the military from the rank and file. The dress uniform will continue to differ. The standards of exploitation of military clothing for an officer and a soldier do not differ (one exception is the officer's dress uniform).

The set of the modern field kit for a soldier and an officer includes the following items:

Gloves and mittens;

Several types of jackets designed for each season;

Hat and beret;

3 types of boots, different seasons;

Balaclava.

Standards for wearing uniforms for military personnel

Such rules are established in some detail in the departmental regulations of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

The employees wear the military uniform of the following types:

dress uniform- during parades and various events with the direct participation of troops; on holidays of the military unit; in cases of presentation of state awards and orders; in cases of presenting a military unit with the Battle Banner; when the ship is launched and put into operation, as well as when the Naval banner is raised on the ship; when enrolled in the honor guard; while serving as sentries for the protection of the Battle Banner of a military unit. It is allowed to wear such a uniform on non-working days and off-duty;

field uniform- in the presence of hostilities; during a state of emergency, liquidation of the consequences of accidents, natural disasters, catastrophes, natural and other disasters; at educational events, training sessions, combat duty;

everyday- in all other cases.

Characteristics of underwear for military personnel

The uniform assumes 2 separate sets for use in conditions of air temperature from -40 to +15 degrees, and from + 15 and above. Underwear in one set is a short-sleeved T-shirt and boxer shorts. Such underwear is extremely practical, both from the technical point of view and in appearance. For a soldier, it has all the mandatory qualities, namely:

dries quite quickly after it has absorbed moisture;

the degree of air exchange meets the mandatory standards.

For low temperature conditions, there are 2 sets of underwear: lightweight and fleece. Such underwear can be worn directly on the body. It also happens that a fleece set is worn over a lightweight one. This is usually done under lower temperature conditions. Lightweight underwear differs from the standard summer set in a more elongated sleeve and full-leg underpants. The fleece set from the inside has a fleecy surface, plus, there is also an insulating layer.

Sets for different weather conditions

The summer field kit consists of a lightweight jacket, trousers, beret and light boots. In the manufacture of such clothes, the so-called mechanical stretch is used, which is initially subject to processing with a special water-repellent compound. Reinforcing components are applied in the most stressed parts. This makes the suit resistant to mechanical damage, and the degree of wear is minimized.

Military clothing regulations allow a fleece jacket with thick pile on both sides to be used in cool weather conditions. There is a strong layer of thermal insulation here. Plus, if necessary, the jacket can be folded to a minimum. A windbreaker jacket is used to protect against winds. It is worn with 5 layer trousers. The windbreaker provides ventilation and the necessary air exchange.

For colder weather conditions the main set is demi-season. It provides excellent wind protection. The material from which the suit is made has sufficient vapor permeability and dries quickly. Such a suit is worn by employees in the US Army. For special field conditions, the military can use a windproof suit. In case of heavy showers, such a suit protects against moisture for a long time. A similar effect is achieved due to the presence of a special membrane. The seams of the suit are taped for greater reliability.

In severe frosts a more insulated suit and a warmed vest are used. These elements are practical and lightweight. They are made of wind and moisture resistant materials. Plus, in frosty weather, you can use a balaclava, which can be worn as a hat, and an insulated hat for very frosty weather. For the manufacture of uniforms for the Russian army, a material is used, which includes cotton and synthetic elements with a ratio of 65/35.

After the collapse of the USSR, the RF Armed Forces continued to wear the military uniform of the Soviet Army and, as it worn out, replaced it with a new uniform, approved in October 1992.

The adopted form significantly differed from the Soviet one in favor of simplification. According to the nomenclature, there were 1.5 times fewer items in the new uniform than in the uniform of the USSR Armed Forces.

First of all, in the Ground Forces, the officer's dress uniform in navy blue and the general's uniform in steel-gray color were canceled. Colored shoulder straps, colored caps and buttonholes were canceled. Depending on the specific item of clothing, the emblems of the combat arms were placed in the corners of the collar or on shoulder straps. For everyday and dress uniforms, a single color was established - olive. Instead of a full dress uniform and a casual tunic, a unified tunic with sewn shoulder straps was introduced. Overcoats were replaced with "winter coats", tunic - for jackets with patch pockets. On the military uniform, chevrons and stripes appeared, denoting belonging to a particular branch of the army, a specific unit.

The sailors retained the color that has always been traditional for the Navy - black.

Shoulder straps on all types of servicemen's clothing have become reduced in size. Soviet officer's tunics were replaced by tunics with patch pockets. A double-headed eagle was placed on the crown of the cap.

May 23, 1994 The President of the Russian Federation approved the uniform of the Russian military personnel.

In 1997 double-headed eagles were removed from the crown of the caps, sleeve insignia were introduced, and the army generals had one large star on their shoulder straps replaced with four smaller ones.

In May 2005 The astrakhan hat was reintroduced for colonels and generals.

In 2010 year there was another change in the military uniform. Shoulder straps, instead of their traditional placement on the shoulders, were transferred to the chest and to the sleeve, Velcro elements appeared, winter coats became narrow and fitted, boots with footcloths were abolished, and sweaters were introduced for officers.

Surely everyone, at least once in their life, watched a military parade. And this large-scale solemn event of the servicemen evokes a storm of enthusiastic emotions and admiring exclamations. And how else, when in front of you the ceremonial boxes in the most diverse beautiful military uniforms are walking in even ranks. Here, even a person who is far enough from the army and everything connected with it will involuntarily feel a warm wave rolling somewhere under the heart, and bearing the name "Pride". Pride in their homeland and beautifully dressed officers and warrant officers, sergeants and soldiers.

And some ask the question "What did the uniform of the Armed Forces look like before?" Let's follow the development of the military uniform from the first samples of half-woolen uniforms to the modern VKPO uniform set.

Uniform history

At all times of the development of the Russian state, the army was an indicator of government power. And it's not a secret for anyone, every ruler followed this indicator and tried to highlight it with beautiful and prominent clothes. The style of clothing of Nicholas I was dictated by Western Europe, and the uniforms of military personnel differed little from Western models.

With the coming to power of Alexander, everything changed somewhat, the uniforms acquired heraldic heraldry, and the obligatory uniform wearing of the uniform was introduced.

In the 1870s, the wealth of officers' clothing gave way to practicality. First of all, the emphasis was on the convenience of the servicemen performing any tasks. The only ones who in those days left behind expensive tailoring were the guards cavalrymen. The rest of the military of the tsarist army wore:

Uniforms, light cut. They had large, wide collars with braided gold piping around the "post". The cuff of the uniform was also made in the form of a classic weave.
They wore a round, low-rise black hat with lamb fur on their heads. In the frontal part, the military attached the Andreevskaya cockade, and under it was the national emblem - a two-headed eagle.
Elongated woolen overcoats. Their feature was that the military fastened it with special hooks that hid a button shiny in the sun.
It was decided to completely remove all the shiny elements of the previous uniform due to the desire of the commanders to increase the camouflaging properties of the fighters.

In order to distinguish which unit or branch of the military the soldier belongs to, they decided to introduce numbering on the shoulder straps and bands on the caps. In areas with particularly hot climatic conditions, the heavy and dense uniform was replaced by a tunic.

The soldiers of the tsarist army wore tunics, sheepskin coats and sheepskin coats in winter, and white linen shirts in summer.

This form of clothing existed until the end of the reign of Nicholas II. The last emperor of Tsarist Russia, ascending to the throne, did not begin to invent reforms to change the uniform that was already comfortable at that time. The changes mainly affected the color scheme, assigning a color to each regiment in the tsarist army. Now number 1 on the pursuit was accompanied by red, number 2 in blue, number 3 in white.

On the eve of the First World War, the uniform of army cavalrymen underwent major changes. The unassuming uniform without buttons was replaced by a double-breasted uniform sewn to the waist with matching piping on the cuffs and the collar.

Military uniform of the USSR

After the February coup of 1917, the first Red Guard detachments began to form, which became the progenitors of the Red Army. They did not have an established uniform, and the fighters were dressed according to the principle of "who in what". The only sign of distinction between the soldiers at that time was considered a bandage made of red material with white letters "Red Guard".

By the way, there was no uniformity here either, and sometimes the fighters simply knitted red fabric on their shoulders. If only in the confusion of those vague events they did not shoot their own people.

A complete mess reigned in the wardrobe of the military at that time.

At the very beginning of the bloody revolutionary days, the units of the Red Guards looked more like partisans than an organized army. Only the desire to build a happy and balanced socialist society was uniform. For the rest, uniforms of the Russian Imperial Army, captured from warehouses, and caps, and wide trousers, and short fur coats, and greatcoats, and tunics, and imported uniforms from other countries, were also suitable for wearing.

There are frequent cases of those times when the only distinguishing mark of a detachment commander was a recognizable face and voice. Towards the end of 1919, the turmoil with uniforms gradually faded away.

In 1922, the wearing of the uniform was finally streamlined, each soldier in the hierarchical command level of the Red Guard was assigned a list of uniforms that he was required to wear in accordance with the season. The idea of officer ranks and epaulets was also rejected, and a new system of insignia was introduced. These were red sleeve patches in the form of triangles, squares and rhombuses on the left flaps of the sleeves, and each of them assigned a soldier to one or another command post.

The new reform drew a clear line between dress, casual and field uniforms.

However, at the same time, the combat form differed from the field-field only in that the soldier in the second version was obliged to wear a set of field equipment and a steel helmet.

A little later, another type of field uniform was added - the sentry. She also practically did not differ from the field. The uniform of a military man in this version did not imply the wearing of binoculars, a flask and other insignificant trifles of a single field equipment of a soldier.

One of the target directions of the 1935 reform was a clear ordering of the types and types of troops using colors. In contrast to previous attempts to do this, the reform of 1935 coped with this task so successfully that the color scheme of differences between servicemen of the services and combat arms lasted until 1965 without changes.

Infantry units	Peaked cap - crimson color; Buttonholes - black; The edging of the trousers is crimson.
Cavalry	Peg cap - blue; Buttonholes - black; The edging of the trousers is blue.
Artillery units	Buttonholes - red; Pants edging - red.
Aviators	Peaked cap - blue; Buttonholes - dark blue; The edging of the trousers is blue.
Technical support troops, engineers and signalmen	Peg cap - black; Buttonholes - blue; The edging of the trousers is blue.
RChBZ troops	Peg cap - black; Buttonholes - black; The edging of the trousers is black.
Prosecutors, military doctors and veterinarians	Peaked cap - dark green; Buttonholes - dark green with red edging; The edging of the trousers is red.

In the middle of 1940, a number of new ranks were introduced, which concerned the highest echelon of the hierarchical level of commanders. Thus, the commanders of divisions and corps received general and admiral ranks. In addition, a special uniform was introduced for senior officials, in which the edging of the collar and stripes on blue trousers were especially prominent. The color of the stripes corresponded to the color of the serviceman's military service.

Another change that affected the ranks of the military was the introduction of the rank of sergeant from November 2, 1940 by the order of the People's Commissar of Defense. In 1943, the word "officer" returned and a new system of military ranks was introduced for servicemen, thereby significantly strengthening the hierarchical system of differences between servicemen.

The system was based on the system of shoulder straps of the Russian Imperial Army, slightly changing it.

So, the hexagonal shoulder straps of the junior officers had one gap, the senior - two, the shoulder straps of the top echelon of the hierarchical level of servicemen were without gaps, and the large five-pointed stars were embroidered.

The uniforms fell into the following categories:

ceremonial uniform for on-line and off-line;
field uniform for on-line and off-line (off-line, in turn, was divided into three-year varieties).

The dress uniform of the officers of the Soviet army had a steel-gray color; the use of emblems with symbols of the branch of service on the collar tabs came into use. The tunic was worn with a white shirt and a tie in a color scheme corresponding to the type of troops. Also introduced into circulation were cockades of a new pattern, in which a five-pointed red star was surrounded by stylized leaves in the form of a border.

In 1960, due to the high cost in the manufacture of uniforms, the command decided in favor of replacing some elements of the military personnel's wardrobe. These elements added durability and uniformity to military clothing.

Gradually, the command began to come to an even greater simplification of the color differences between the branches and types of troops.

The green and blue colors were abolished in the manufacture of the edging of the trousers of military personnel. By 1980, in the Armed Forces of the USSR, four colors were used to distinguish the belonging of military personnel:

Red;
Blue;
Crimson;
Black.

By 1988, the unification of colors reached three colors: red, blue and black.

The uniform of the RF Armed Forces

With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the uniform of military personnel has undergone some changes.

The parade uniform was almost identical to the drill, with the exception of a few structural elements:

The senior officers changed their hats for astrakhan hats in the winter season.
Edges on the cuffs were removed from the construction of the tunics.
On the crowns of the caps, a sign in the form of a two-headed eagle with spread wings was now attached in the middle.
The tunics of officers of junior and senior officers retained the same cut and color scheme, as well as the edges of the trousers. Soon it became obligatory to wear metal signs of the arms and types of troops on the sides of uniforms. A little later, for more ordering between which unit a particular serviceman of the RF Armed Forces belongs to, it became mandatory to sew a chevron on the right sleeve. On the left sleeve, servicemen wore a chevron denoting their belonging to the armed forces.
Embroidered stylistic leaves of golden color were provided on the sides of the higher officer corps of the military.
Women servicemen, who had previously worn a beret, were now obliged to wear garrison caps according to their uniform.

The field uniform of a soldier included the following wardrobe items:

Camouflage "spotted" color, which included three colors: green, dark green and brown. The tunic was equipped with six flap pockets - two on the sleeves, two on the chest and two on the bottom of the garment. On the collar of the tunic, metal signs of the serviceman's belonging to the branch of the army were attached. The trousers in some versions were also equipped with two valves, which were located in the middle of the thigh, slightly above the knees.
The field uniform provided for the wearing of a universal camouflage cap by the military, made on the principle of a cap with earflaps and fastened at the top with two buttons. The cap was equipped with a field-colored metal badge in the form of a five-pointed star and was attached in the middle above a wide visor.
Field uniforms obliged servicemen to put on high-top boots;
In winter, officers, warrant officers, sergeants and soldiers wore an insulated jacket with a fur collar. It was made in the same color scheme as the camouflage and was equipped with flaps on the chest and sleeves;
In winter, servicemen wore a cap with earflaps equipped with a badge;
The set for the field uniform included a waist belt - a leather harness for officers and a hard belt with a gold or silver plaque for conscripts. Mostly the waist belt was worn over the tunic. The exceptions were special forces, paratroopers and scouts, who tucked their tunic into their trousers by threading a belt into the holes specially provided for this in the waist of the trousers.

The dress code retained its appearance until 2008, all changes after 1997 were aimed mainly at streamlining heraldry and did not have a global character.

2008 reform

By the end of 2006, the command began to understand the fact that the previous uniform of servicemen ceased to meet modern quality standards. In 2007, after A.E. Serdyukov, a man who had a very indirect relation to the army service, came to the post of Defense Minister, preparations began for a new reform. She, according to the management, had to not only solve pressing issues in wearing a uniform, but also give a head start to foreign counterparts in the quality of performance.

In the same year, the task of developing a new form of clothing was assigned to couturier Valentin Yudashkin, a person who is even more distant from the concept of military service and the range of tasks performed by military personnel.

To complete the task, a huge amount of money was allocated from the country's budget at the disposal of the fashion designer, the development of a new form of clothing was carried out for almost 2 years, and the military were eagerly awaiting its appearance.

In early 2010, presidential decree No. 293 announced the gradual introduction of a new form of clothing.

To the great disappointment of the servicemen, in practice, the new form of clothing turned out to be practically unsuitable for use in the conditions of performing both everyday tasks and tasks of a combat training and combat situation. Such a uniform would be useful, unless at a fashion show from Dolce Gabbana in Paris.

The dress uniform in cut was no different from the everyday one. Double-breasted tunics were now fastened with three buttons, instead of four, as before. It was decided to return the colors of the tunics and trousers, but at the same time the piping was removed from the trousers. The new tunics were tightly sutured at the waist, which sometimes hindered the movement of servicemen and made it difficult to fit the appropriate size;
It took the fashion designer almost two years to adopt, in his opinion, a revolutionary change in the everyday overcoat. Now it was fastened not with three buttons, but with four, and had a closed look instead of an open one. At the same time, in comparison with the previous model of the greatcoat, the new one ceased to protect the serviceman from low temperatures;
The field uniform not only did not become better than the previous one in terms of wear resistance, but was even inferior to it at times. The innovative solution to move the shoulder straps to the chest in practice turned out to be unacceptable for the tasks of combat training;
The winter field kit could not cope with its functional load, and the servicemen froze in it even at not very low temperatures.

On the whole, the reform was considered a failure, and almost all military personnel reacted to it with indignation, preferring the old patterns of dress.

2012 reform

Immediately after the appointment of Shoigu S.K. to the post of Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, a global reorganization of Yudashkin's uniform began, the main goal of which was to correct the designer's mistakes. A number of design decisions were carried out, which gave successful results and military uniforms finally began to meet modern quality standards. As a result, the dress uniform practically did not differ from the Yudashkin dress, except that the quality of tailoring changed, which became an order of magnitude higher.

Serious changes have been made to the everyday form of clothing. The so-called office outfit set is included in the circulation. A lightweight jacket with a zipper is included in the soldier's wardrobe. It has two velcro chest flap pockets and zippered pockets.

The chest flaps are also equipped with Velcro, on which the patches with the name of the serviceman and the sign of belonging to the RF Armed Forces are attached. On the sleeves, servicemen stick a unit chevron and a chevron with the image of the Russian tricolor, trousers are made in a classic style and have a stitched arrow.

Such samples of uniforms began to enter the troops in mid-2013.

It was called "office uniform", and many military personnel could not get used to it for a long time, associating the name with civilian specialties. In addition, the first samples that the military received into their circulation were very difficult to iron, especially trousers.

But after a year this trouble was eliminated. Of the indisputable advantages of this uniform is its lightness and versatility, which the previous samples could not boast of. Currently, uniforms are supplied to the troops in three colors. Green - infantry and artillery, blue - aviators and paratroopers, black - navy and marines.

The cap has been greatly modified. The crown and visor have become noticeably smaller in size, which gives the headdress both compactness and grace. In the autumn, servicemen put on a knee-length insulated jacket with lamb fur (the jacket is provided in both men's and women's wardrobes).

In the winter months, the military wardrobe adds a warm Alaska goose-down coat with a fur collar, which is similar in cut to the knee-length demi-season jacket. Both jackets are equipped with a zipper and are very similar in design and fasten up to the chin (clothes are provided in both men's and women's wardrobes).

The insulated autumn jacket and "Alaska" are very similar in cut and the only fundamental difference is only the materials from which they are made.

Also, the autumn coat is stitched with red thread in the area of the zipper-lock. The flaps-pockets of this version are equipped with buttons-clasps, with the heraldry applied in the form of a five-pointed star and the phrase "Russian Army" around it. Winter "Alaska" does not have such fastening buttons, its valves are equipped with sewn-in flat magnets.

In winter, women's headwear is a miniature astrakhan hat, in summer - a stump-shaped cap with a long visor and a badge in the middle, in some units of the RF Armed Forces it is envisaged to wear caps. The office set of uniforms for military personnel - women is complemented by trousers and a skirt.

Men's shoes are presented in two types of boots - officer's shoes without lacing and boots with thick soles, made of lacquered materials. Military personnel - women shoe in summer with low wide heels, in winter - boots with sheep's fur.

The appearance of the field uniform has also undergone major changes. In addition, many new things have been added to the wardrobe, thanks to which military personnel can perform tasks in almost any conditions of everyday and military training. The wardrobe includes:

Camouflage with the same location of the velcro as in the office uniform. The camouflage had a zipper, and it could be zipped in two positions - I leave the chest (first) and throat open, fixing the zipper with another Velcro (second). The first kits began to arrive in the troops along with the office uniform - in 2013.
A set of demi-season uniforms, which must be worn by servicemen from autumn to spring. It is an elastic, lightweight suit with a zipper made of dense fabric that is resistant to moisture.
Insulated sleeveless jacket with a zipper, fleece jacket is designed so that the serviceman does not freeze in the cool season;
In winter, servicemen wore a padded bologna jacket with zippers and trousers with suspenders;
In summer, a cap with a long visor acts as a headdress, in winter - a universal hat with Velcro, which completely protects the ears from low temperatures.

In addition to the above, the wardrobe of a soldier of the modern Russian army includes universal sets of summer and winter underwear that maintains body temperature in normal conditions in any weather. In winter, military personnel wear a fleece jacket and insulated underwear.

Summer / fall underwear set includes:

T-shirt with short sleeves and cotton panties;
Long sleeve t-shirt and underpants in dark green color.

The requirements for military personnel are growing every day, along with this, the requirements for modern uniforms are also growing. Today, a serviceman's wardrobe fully complies with all quality standards, and minor reforms, after 2014, are more of a compositional character than a constructive one.

The military uniform of the armed forces of the Russian Federation has always been distinguished by some features. They are subdivided according to color and purpose. The military uniform can be designed for daily use, for field activities and for holidays. All these types of clothing are still subdivided into summer and winter options. The Ministry of Defense has carefully worked out this issue, detailing orders on this aspect of the life of military personnel. The case concerned both the winter uniform of the RF Armed Forces and the summer one.

Military clothing

The order clearly regulates the wearing of uniforms by military personnel. They refer not only to conscripts in service, but also to pupils of Suvorov schools and other military educational institutions of this type. This rule must be adhered to by soldiers in reserve who can wear the uniform of a serviceman of the Russian Federation.

One of the main features that makes it possible to distinguish the military of one or another unit is the color design of the military uniform. This pattern has been preserved since the time of the last tsar of the Russian Empire, which helps in distinguishing between soldiers.

For servicemen of the Russian Navy, it is typical to wear a black uniform.
Soldiers assigned to the ranks of the ground forces receive green uniforms.
Employees in the aviation forces of the Russian Federation are given the opportunity to wear blue uniforms.

It is worth taking a closer look at the colors of the uniforms of various units of the military of the Russian Federation. For example, naval personnel are predominantly dressed in dark blue uniforms. These colors are used in the manufacture of flannel or naval suits. However, despite focusing on the main shade, white clothing can also be found.

The use of this shade is typical for summer festive clothes. It was not for nothing that this particular color was chosen, because it symbolizes purity, but the fact of pragmatism was not overlooked either. If the temperature outside is extremely high, it will be very deliberate to wear a white uniform in order to protect yourself from ultraviolet radiation.

If it is typical for the military personnel of the ground forces to wear clothes of a green shade, then the fact that this green shade can be presented in different forms is not overlooked. For example, aquamarine, that is, a mixture of blue and green, is intended for festive occasions. This shade was borrowed from old samples of Soviet military personnel. Moreover, there are some similarities with the uniform of infantry or artillery soldiers from the times of the Russian Empire.

There is also such a shade as olive, it was characteristic of the military personnel of the Soviet Union. Some may confuse it with the khaki color more common among the military, but this is a misconception. For some divisions, this color is associated with festive. The olive tint is typical for soldiers who participated in military field conditions during the existence of the Russian Empire. Since 2010, there have been some changes, marked by the fact that festive clothes and even festive ones have become much brighter, which has become even more distinguishable from other forms.

If we talk about the blue tint, now it is more characteristic of the military personnel in the ranks of the Air Force, Airborne Forces and the Aerospace Forces of the Russian Federation. In the past, this color division was not so common, moreover, there was a similarity with the ground forces - the khaki color prevailed in these units, but only the form of the command staff of the Air Force differed, at the beginning of the twentieth century.
