TacHel Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 The picture above shows the transition for air force officers' cap badges from the Soviet Era to today. 1991 to 1994 transition period where many service people wore the Soviet badges well into 1994. 1994 saw the new orange and black Russian cockade and national eagle common to all services and ministries. 1997 saw the new pattern eagles representing individual ministries and departments. (Here Defense Min) 2010 saw the air force readopting its wings and star.
IrishGunner Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Maybe Russia is moving back in more ways than one...
TacHel Posted January 29, 2011 Author Posted January 29, 2011 Maybe Russia is moving back in more ways than one... Personally, I wouldn't read too much out of it... They got their nice new blue air force uniform and I think they're trying to truly identify themselves from the army. A feeling I can really relate to.
TacHel Posted January 29, 2011 Author Posted January 29, 2011 I forgot to mention... They've also revamped the embroidery on generals' service caps. The pic below shows the 2010 pattern air force general cap.
tsarenko1975 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Good information, TacHel! But do you read Kibovski\Stepanov's 3-part book about uniform of Russian Empire\Soviet\Russian Federation Air Force? It's great source, on my mind!

No, I have no reference books on Russian uniforms, only on Soviet and Russian awards.
tsarenko1975 Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I have these books in PDF and DJVU, but can't post them - 26MB+36MB+64MB...
