    Ukrainian Para Badges


    Recommended Posts

    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.

    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.
