Special differences in the form of the airborne forces

The form of the Airborne Forces was originally created with the sole purpose of performing tasks by a special detachment of units with additional reliability and quality under the loads associated with parachuting.

As a basic element of equipment was and still is a blue-gray canvas helmet and a special moleskin overalls. Buttonholes with distinctive signs were sewn on the collar of the jumpsuit.

Even before the war and during the period of its beginning, avizent jackets appeared together with trousers. In winter, the paratroopers resorted to insulated uniforms with sheepskin fur and a tight collar, which was fastened to the uniform with a zipper.

The entire set of uniforms of a military detachment of the Airborne Forces has historical need. In this regard, the functions of one or another element of the uniform are different in their specifics.

However, it is worth taking a fairly objective look at the current state of the current clothing of the airborne unit.

The state of the new form of the Airborne Forces of the winter sample has passed the test of not only quality, but also time: it has been tested at low temperatures and under the influence of a piercing wind.

To date, the entire set of these clothes approved at the state level, which allows us to say about nine different clothing options for the special forces of the Airborne Forces.

uniform requirements

• At the moment, the form of the Russian Airborne Forces includes several sets and combinations diverse clothing (not only of a combat nature).
• In cool weather conditions, a lined jacket is added for soldiers.
• Often the military resort to the use of jackets under the jacket.
• When the weather is quite wet, damp and rainy, you can walk in a fleece undershirt and waterproof overalls.
• In the process of active service, the military are in personal uniforms. When the conditions for the military are related to theoretical training, the military can be in a mild form.

It is also worth noting separately that such a conservative version of clothing is constantly undergoing new and more effective changes. Every time the creators provide almost perfect uniform. However, time passes, more and more new knowledge accumulates, equipment and technologies develop.

Depending on personal preferences, as well as weather conditions, the military themselves will make the selection of the combination of form they need.

All this, one way or another, has a direct impact on the continued improvement of the uniform for soldiers in general and special units in particular, which are the Airborne Forces. It is no coincidence that last year was marked as another chronological reference point for the new type of airborne forces uniform, with regular changes and innovations ...

Today, the uniform of a military member of the Airborne Forces has earflaps with long ears, which overlap without problems and fasten with a special Velcro, which allows you to deal more effectively with chin guard. Ushanka has a top flap, with the ability to turn inside out and transform into a visor that protects from the sun.

A sufficient number of changes also affected the outerwear of the Airborne Forces. A modern airborne jacket is conditionally disassembled into a couple of parts. Now she has the opportunity to transform into a warm pea coat.

There is also a field uniform for a serviceman of the Airborne Forces, the number of elements of which is already greater, namely, it consists of 16 items of clothing that can easily fit in a compact combat backpack. However, you should not focus on weight, since in warm weather the weight of the backpack increases significantly, and in cold weather it decreases, and sharply.

Felt boots completely replaced with new ones insulated boots with thermal inserts. The insulated version of the field uniform today has a vest, which, to the delight of the fighters, in no way hinders movement during moments of physical exertion. In addition, we must not forget about a special scarf-front that protects from the wind, as well as a comfortable balaclava. The jumpsuit itself and all its components are made in a waterproof version.

There is also a full dress uniform and a demobilization uniform - a serviceman who has served military service in the Airborne Forces. Look at the photo to see how the front and demobilization uniforms look like.

There are no exceptions to the rule for female military personnel. The only difference is the presence of a skirt in a solemn version.

Varieties and styles

The fabric from which the mold is made light and breathable but at the same time strong and durable. For tailoring equipment, cotton-polymer fabric is used, in a ratio of 65-35. Thermal and vapor tight suits dry quickly and protect against wind, moisture and bad weather conditions.

The official presentation of the new uniform fell on May 9, 2014. At the military parade on Red Square, the military personnel of the airborne troops came out in all their glory of the new parade uniform of the Russian Airborne Forces.

Modern functional form almost all available units are equipped airborne troops of the country. With this, the Airborne Forces emphasizes concern for the health of both soldiers and officers. Paratroopers are trained at different times of the year, in unbearable heat and very severe frosts, so the uniform should simply perfectly match all weather conditions.

The modern set of clothes includes layered special suit. Note that the field type of clothing will be exactly the same for both soldiers and officers.

The set of modern field clothes will include:

• Several jackets differing depending on the season;
• Matching suit;
• The vest is warmed;
• Beret and hat;
• Three pairs of boots of different seasons;
• Two pairs of gloves and mittens;
• Balaclava.

Long-term storage of the form will require the presence of room temperature, the absence of moisture and evaporation.

Care rules

Each type of uniform, regardless of the area of ​​​​its application, requires special care. Taking into account daily wear, stubborn dirt will soon appear on the form. In order for the thing to retain a presentable appearance and last as long as possible, you will need to follow separate care recommendations.

We will use the most difficult option in terms of washing the military uniform - the uniform of the airborne fighter.

Improper care can ruin catastrophically her, and as far as you know, this is state property, and her mutilation will entail considerable difficulties, up to and including an official reprimand.

The whole stage of washing should be divided into several points. Before washing the form of the Airborne Forces it is advisable to read the recommendations indicated on the products. In our case, a winter set of clothes will require the most gentle treatment. At high water temperatures, the material can simply “sit down”, reducing the thing by a couple of sizes. We must not forget about spinning, which is completely contraindicated.

Of course, this process is very complex and contradictory. However, even with the knowledge of all the subtleties, automatic dry cleaning will still be the best option.
