TacHel Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Here are the current parachutist badges of the Ukrainian armed forces. Just gorgeous aren't they!?! Left to right are the 1st, 2nd and 3rd class awards. I'm still looking for the exact prerequistes between the classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacHel Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 This however is either an unadopted prototype or a fantasy item... Be careful, they're starting to hit the markets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peveke Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Hi guys, Those Ukranian wings with St-Michael upon them were prototypes from 2004, but were never accepted. Other prototypes were also made but not accepted. In fact, the Ukranians followed the Russian style in simply removing the red star of the Soviet-style jumpwing. This also counts for the excellent para and instructor, yet these can simply be identified as Ukranian by the Ukranian text on the canopy instead of Russian. Got this info from an official Ukranian army document. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
