Special forces uniform: equipment of the GRU, FSB, Alpha, Russian army, black, camouflage, tactical, ceremonial

Military uniforms - field, everyday and ceremonial uniforms - are always regulated by the relevant decrees of the Ministry of Defense. However, there are special forces formations in the law enforcement agencies of ministries and departments not related to the Russian Armed Forces, which perform specific tasks, for which they use a very wide range of military and universal uniforms.

Storage rules and care

Absolutely any uniform, regardless of its area of application, requires special care.
Due to daily wear, persistent stains appear on the uniform. Before you start washing your GRU uniform, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the recommendations indicated on the product label. In this case, woolen products need to be hand washed in warm water or in a washing machine with the most gentle setting selected. Due to the high temperature of the water, the material may “shrink”, so things will shrink by 1-2 sizes. And don’t forget about spinning, which is absolutely “contraindicated.”

The most problematic to clean are police, military and GRU uniforms.

Errors in care can simply ruin it, which will entail a sufficient amount of trouble, which may even lead to an official reprimand.

Everyday uniforms can be cleaned in any mode - they can withstand exposure to any temperatures and detergents.

Given the high degree of contamination, these clothes are made from the strongest fibers. Even with the best wishes of the owner, dry cleaning the dress uniform would still be the best option, since attempts at home can only damage the dress uniform and lead to irreversible consequences.

Special Operations Forces MTR

The unit reports to the Minister of Defense, was created in 2009, and the data of the current SOF commander is classified. They are considered a rapid reaction force and conduct operations abroad (Somalia, Aleppo) and within the country (North Caucasus).

Equipment of MTR soldiers

From its inception until mid-2014, exclusively foreign special forces uniforms were used to equip these units:

Propper BDU multicam colors );
special equipment kits for hot climates;
Arcteryx Leaf;
Tactical Combat, Field or Performance;
tactical suit Fortrex K14;
helmets Warrior Quiver and 6B7-1M;
ballistic helmet
diving suit GKN-7 set Amphora diving;
suit Reid-L;
body armor 6B43;
vest 6Sh112.

Tactical
overalls

Anti-fragmentation suit

Currently, the BTK Group holding company provides decent quality materials, design and functionality of equipment; domestic uniforms are used, with rare exceptions.

In the media, this unit is usually called “Polite People” because of the corresponding attitude towards journalists during the maintenance of order in Crimea in 2014. During the operation, his disguise was either a security guard's uniform or civilian clothing .

Types of clothing, styles

As a rule, the entire variety of uniforms of law enforcement agencies is focused on its classification according to seasonality:

summer;
winter

You can also notice the division of the form according to its direct application:

A type of clothing for field activities. Used in combat. As a rule, the field uniform of the GRU special forces is accompanied by its use in the most difficult moments of service, therefore, special requirements are placed on it.
The front door is ideal for presenting military and state awards, as well as special honors and performing an honor guard. You can't do without it on special days and weekends.
Casual uniform. Applies in all other cases.

The ceremonial and demobilization uniform of the GRU special forces looks like in this photo:

Thanks to the high-quality uniform, the fighter is comfortable and comfortable even during unexpected combat missions.

For men

The variety of shapes and colors of clothing used by GRU units is mostly inherited from the USSR period. The main ones can be listed:

"Amoeba". The most durable example of camouflage, the history of which goes back to 1935. At one time it was the basis of the developments of Soviet designers of military uniforms. It has currently been finalized and various variations are available.
“Deciduous Forest” is an ideal military camouflage fabric. The uniform underwent a “baptism of fire” and served the soldiers of the Great Patriotic War of 1942 well.
“Silver Leaf” (“Sunny Bunnies” or “Birch Tree”). Sketches of this sample were created back in the 50s.
VSR-93, or folk “Vertical” (based on the vertical stripes on the uniform). The shape of the field character allows you to effectively merge with the surrounding background.
VSR-98 "Flora". In wider military circles it is known as the “Watermelon” camouflage because of the stripes. This option is basic for special forces. In addition to its specific color, it has excellent camouflage characteristics, suitable for the central part of Russia.
“Digital flora” or “Russian digital”. These are innovative developments of a new summer and winter uniform for special forces soldiers of the GRU, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB, which was developed by V. Yudashkin (Russian fashion designer).

For women

Military special uniforms for women are created based on the male version, taken as a basis. At the same time, all the basic principles of reliability, comfort and resistance to any weather conditions are preserved.

The women's version of GRU special forces clothing is stand-up and has a special sizing chart intended exclusively for women. The jacket-shirt has a large number of necessary pockets. The pockets are presented with a straight version with Velcro.

Convenience is achieved by the fact that in the summer you can always roll up your sleeves. On the back of the pants there are reflective meshes that allow you to move without fear of getting dirt and perform a ventilation function.

What the GRU special forces uniform looks like for men and women, look at the photo:

In order for the item to retain its presentability and last as long as possible, you will need to follow the recommendations for washing it (look at the label).

Special Forces of the National Guard

Some of the above special purpose units are military, that is, by default they are staffed by military personnel. The other is departmental, that is, it employs employees who are assigned special ranks, not military ones. The two largest ministries of the Russian Federation include both:

Ministry of Internal Affairs - the special forces of the National Guard are staffed by military personnel, riot police and special forces are not military formations;
FSB - special forces of the border troops and departments A, B and C, respectively.

SpN PV FSB

Special forces formations carry out combat missions in populated areas and forests, under water and in the air, so field uniforms , ammunition and weapons are very different. A presidential decree in 2005 prohibited the use of insignia and military uniforms in the security units of the FSB , FSKN , Ministry of Internal Affairs , FSIN , PPS and other departments formed not from military personnel.

These highly mobile units go out on combat missions, perform guard duty and learn skills in various forms.

Storage rules and care

Many clothing sets are equipped with special compression bags into which jackets and trousers are folded for storage (only separately).

Before you start washing, cleaning and drying, you need to carefully study the information on the labels or special inserts.

If the product contains membrane fabrics, then the use of traditional detergents during washing should be excluded, and only special products recommended for this type of fabric should be used.

The black special forces uniform is designed to ensure the smooth execution of special missions in modern warfare. The models presented by modern manufacturers are quite light, strong, durable and comfortable. They are reliable and vital in extreme conditions.

To smoothly accomplish assigned tasks, fighters need special clothing that protects not only from the negative influence of the environment, but also from the influence of the enemy. Modern models of black special forces uniforms will allow them not only to carry out orders, but also to save their lives and health.

Purpose of workwear

The black special forces uniform is excellent clothing for special forces and security forces.

Its main purpose is to facilitate the successful conduct of combat operations in various, sometimes extreme, conditions.

Taking into account the peculiarities of the type of activity of these categories of military personnel, the uniform is made taking into account a specific design .

It is made from heavy-duty fabrics, and the main criterion for its selection is convenience and reliability. High quality and excellent materials of domestic form allow us to compete with foreign analogues and not be inferior to them in any way.

Varieties of styles

Some models are designed specifically for active participation in combat operations. Most often these are tunics, trousers, tactical black suits or sets consisting of trousers, tunic, jacket and pea coat, as well as parkas.

For men

The traditional black uniform for men includes trousers and a jacket.
Their style is free, not restricting any types of movements (swings, somersaults, jumps, etc.), allowing you to move easily and freely in any environment.
The style belongs to the “unisex” category, which makes it comfortable for both men and women.
Tactical camouflage "Special Forces". The cut is loose, but its fit gives a good fit.
Convenient slanted pockets on the chest and sleeves allow for quick use, and small pockets are convenient for storing pens, flashlights and other items.
There are chevrons attached to the chest and sleeves of the jacket, and there are pockets for shock absorbers in the elbow and knee areas.
The sets are universal, they are comfortable for both men and women. Made from rip-stop material.
A set of black overalls for special forces (trousers, jacket, jacket, pea coat).
It is a winter and demi-season uniform. Reinforcing seat patches on the trousers make the product durable and reliable. It is possible to tighten the waistband and bottom of the trousers to avoid hypothermia. The jacket is convenient for carrying ammunition, with the ability to fix chevrons. The parka jacket has a special protective collar with Velcro, and it also secures the wrists. The double padding of the pea coat makes it quite warm. The insulated vest, like the hood, can be removed.
Tactical black suit for special forces. It includes a parka jacket and rip-stop trousers. To protect your face from sand and insects, the jacket has a mosquito net and a hood. Different sizes of pockets and thick seat inserts make the product durable, comfortable and practical.
The demi-season parka is an improved military pea coat. Insulated with padding polyester, it is comfortable to wear in the winter, as well as in autumn and spring. The versatility of the product is added by the ability to remove the vest and hood. Pockets and elbow pads add practicality and safety to the jacket.

For women

Considering the fact that women's special forces were organized not so long ago, and this is not such a large structure, there are no significant differences in their clothing. Many of the unisex models listed above are equally comfortable and effective for both men and women.

Only strict adherence to the manufacturer's recommendations can ensure proper care and storage of the mold.

Military special forces

When performing fixed-term, long-term or contract service as part of special forces, a serviceman is obliged to comply with the rules of wearing uniforms and insignia. The state provides special forces formations with VKBO ( all-season basic uniform set) consisting of 19 items of clothing. Independent configuration of VKBO , depending on combat and training missions and weather conditions.

Any third-party " camouflage ", " body armor " or " loading " that does not meet the requirements of the regulations is considered a dress code violation. However, the Special Forces are considered the elite of the Russian Armed Forces; commanders may allow the use of more comfortable clothing, for example, American or European special forces.

Special purpose squads of combat swimmers actually arose during the Second World War, but the units were so secret that field and everyday clothing was altered by their employees independently from the most suitable uniforms of various branches of the military.

IBP combat swimmers

In 1974, during the formation of the famous Alpha (Group A of the KGB of the USSR for the fight against terror), working in a less secret mode, the problem of equipment also arose, so the officers wore blue jackets and suits for pilots and technical workers, which turned out to be most convenient for their tasks.

Modern Alpha equipment

When a limited contingent of troops was introduced into Afghanistan in 1979, the special forces field uniform for hot climates and mountainous terrain was urgently developed based on the uniform of the troops of Congolese Colonel Mabuta; the suit was sewn according to GOST 17 6290 from raincoat fabric with water-repellent impregnation.

Mabut's first field uniform for the hot climate in Afghanistan

Officially, the “Mabuta”, “jump suit” or “sand” was the uniform of “Alpha”, GRU units and the newly formed Vympel department; in fact, paratroopers and infantrymen bought it for cash with the permission of their commanders for everyday wear.

The modern Russian special forces uniform is comfortable and functional, but there are Western analogues that are superior to it in some properties/qualities. For example, until recently, a protective helmet did not have devices for fixing a tactical flashlight, night vision device and other devices. The colors and patterns of some camouflage fabrics and clothing styles from American and European manufacturers are better suited to specific local conditions.

Rules for wearing uniforms by Russian military personnel

In 2015, the Russian Ministry of Defense signed decree number 300 on the rules for wearing military uniforms. The last changes to it were made in 2022, but before that significant adjustments were made three times:

1997 – symbols were added, wearing rules were introduced;
2008 - the dress uniform was simplified, field uniforms were improved;
2011 - partial return to the form of the USSR, development of VKBO .

The evolution of military uniforms in several reforms

Until 2008, the equipment of special forces of the Armed Forces and non-armed forces departments was almost identical. Moreover, the guard’s uniform almost completely copied the uniform of the elite units participating in hostilities, therefore, in these formations and organizations, military symbols and army uniforms were prohibited.

VKBO kit

In 2011, a new uniform for general purpose units and special forces units. The customer of the project was the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, and the contractor was the domestic light industry holding BTK Group. An integrated scientific approach was used, so the design bureau included:

University of Technology and Design St. Petersburg;
Naval Engineering Institute of State Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education;
Institute of Medicine RAMS.

VKBO set was tested in 8 military units for 3 months in 2012 in different regions of the country - the south of the Russian Federation, the Trans-Urals, the Central region, and the Arctic. The customer put forward the following requirements:

anti-slip surface of shoe soles;
petrol and oil resistance of the upper part of the shoe;
ergonomics of each element;
durability, compactness, low weight;
camouflage properties ( camouflage );
protection from adverse conditions;
provision and ability to regulate heat balance;
moisture management at any level of physical activity.

VKBO form

VKBO set consists of 3 pairs of shoes and 20 items that provide a multi-layer effect. In other words, each subsequent layer is put on the previous layer to achieve a comfortable thermal balance in any weather conditions and climatic zones in different seasons of the year.

The delivery schedule was carried out in stages from 2013 to 2015. The transition from the existing uniform to the new uniform occurred gradually. Some of the personnel dressed in VKBO , and at the same time they wore old-style uniforms.

The uniform is considered casual and field, so the summer kit is intended for indoors all year round and outdoors at an air temperature of +15 degrees. The winter kit is effective for temperatures from -40 degrees to +15 degrees. Three pairs of shoes are designed to be worn in temperature ranges of -40 – -10 degrees, -10 – + 15 degrees and above + 15 degrees. Clothes that are not currently in use are transported and stored in a special backpack-trunk.

The composition of 8 levels of VKBO recommended by the manufacturer is as follows:

moisture-wicking underwear short ( T-shirt and shorts ) made of 100% polyester or long (long johns with a codpiece, sweatshirt with a round neck, long sleeves, fitted silhouette);

A headdress is provided for him - a cap . The second cap is worn with a demi-season suit. The scarf is made in the shape of a bib and is adjustable in volume.

Summer VKBO suit

However, the basic kit does not provide 100% equipment for solving special forces combat missions, so special forces units use additional equipment, ammunition, and weapons. For example, body armor , unloading vests suits , wetsuits, jumpsuits for parachutists.

Casual dress

Unlike rapid reaction forces, special forces plan operations in advance, so daily activities traditionally include:

classroom training (theory, tactics );
performing guard duty;
rest and personal time.

Everyday special forces uniform

Thus, army special forces use kits of the new VKBO , which are quite sufficient for these tasks. For training in special disciplines, field uniforms are used - camouflage suits , body armor , wetsuits, jumpsuits .

Field uniform

Due to the special status of special forces, they solve very different tasks:

sabotage and anti-terrorism activities;
intelligence and counterintelligence;
ensuring the safety of one’s own unit and eliminating enemy structures of the same name;
organizing mass riots on enemy territory and fighting them in one’s own regions;
protection of objects/persons and their physical destruction.

SOBR field uniform

The field black uniform of the OMON of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the FSB provides visual control - friend/foe, demoralizes the enemy, and the diving suit of the PDSS GRU naval combat swimmer ensures covert penetration under water. camouflage is good for moving through the forest as part of a group, and “ Leshy camouflage suit is used by a sniper in a long-term firing position.

Ceremonial uniform

The dress uniform of military personnel and employees of special forces units is much easier to understand:

they belong to certain branches of the military;
ceremonial uniforms are used during dismissal, at a gala event or during vacation, that is, at events not related to combat missions.

SpN dress uniform

Special forces soldiers are dressed according to the rules of wearing military uniforms.

Airborne Forces

Usually the special forces demobilization uniform is decorated with aiguillettes and numerous piping elements of ceremonial clothing. In fact, aiguillette is an element of the dress uniform for special ceremonial occasions according to Decree No. 300 of 2015 of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation.

The ceremonial uniform of an airborne includes:

jacket , trousers and cap made of blue (sea wave) wool;
vest with blue stripes instead of a white general-arms shirt :
ceremonial golden belt;
boots with high tops;
blue beret or cap .

special forces officer's dress uniform

In winter, airborne troops dress in the same uniform, and on top of it they wear a casual warm blue jacket gloves . hat with earflaps or a cap can be used .

Sergeant of the Special Forces of the Airborne Forces in a casual suit

In the summer, soldiers, sergeants and cadets wear a blue beret , combat boots , a vest and a casual suit .

Navy

The uniform of the Special Forces belonging to the Navy is completely identical to the uniform of the Airborne . Since the rules for wearing a dress uniform clearly state that all special forces, regardless of belonging to a specific branch of the military, receive the right to wear a blue vest and ankle boots. The beret has the color of the military branch.

New ceremonial uniform of the Navy

PS FSB (border service)

The jacket of FSB officer is no different from the uniform of a serviceman - three buttons , sea wave color, fitted. The shoulder straps of employees of departments A, B and C have a cornflower blue edging on a silver or gold field, the border service has a green edging. The ceremonial military uniform is equipped with boots or boots (for formation), and a golden belt. The color of the overcoat is steel gray, it is fastened with 6 buttons.

New PV dress uniform

Special Forces National Guard Troops (maroon berets)

A distinctive element of the dress uniform of the special forces of the former Internal Troops, preserved after they were renamed the National Guard, is the headdress . The maroon beret appeared in 1978, until 1989 it remained a non-statutory element of the uniform, to which senior officers turned a blind eye. The qualification test for the right to wear it was legalized only in 1993.

The latest version of the “parade” of maroon berets

Simultaneously with the maroon beret of the VV special forces, vests with stripes of a similar color appeared, by analogy with the Airborne Forces and Marine Corps (blue and black vests in the color of the berets of these branches of the military, respectively).

PDSS and MRP GRU (combat swimmers)

PDSS units were created to identify and eliminate enemy underwater saboteurs. However, to effectively combat them, the squad includes combat swimmers (the same saboteurs, but their own). In addition, there are separate formations in each fleet for highly specialized tasks, for example, protecting the water area and ships inside it under water or organizing sabotage.

PDSS and GRU MRP special forces use sailors' dress uniforms

These formations of Russian special forces are considered the most classified so far. During the Soviet era, they were provided with the standard uniform of privates and sergeants of the home fleet. We wore it on leave and on vacation; we never took part in parades.

Currently the situation continues. The dress uniform of the MRP and PDSS detachments is completely identical to the uniform of the Navy .

Dress code for particularly hot regions

The Russian Army does not provide dress uniforms for hot regions. But for the Russian soldier there is a special everyday uniform from the manufacturer BTK Group consisting of 8 items:

socks :
t-shirt :
baseball cap :
Panama :
shorts :
trousers :
jacket .

Casual set for hot regions

This is the uniform worn by the MTR units of the Russian Armed Forces in Syria. All clothing is sand-colored without a camouflage pattern.

Female form

In Special Forces formations, women's everyday and field clothing has special sizes. The jacket-shirt is equipped with a large number of pockets. The dress uniform is distinguished by the presence of a blouse and skirt made of wool instead of a men's jacket and trousers. Berets , ankle boots and vests are preserved in full for the special forces that the Russian Army has.

Women's casual uniform

Features of this type of clothing

It is difficult to find models that are similar in functionality, wearing comfort and stylistic differences. This is its uniqueness. All models are focused on the same functionality for work both in urban and field conditions.

An important feature of this type of workwear is thoughtful fasteners, pockets, stripes and other auxiliary elements:

The jacket, as a rule, has a strong zipper (tractor), hidden by a Velcro flap, fastening which in the cold season will protect from wind and frost.

In warm weather, it is possible to use only a valve to ventilate the jacket;

a high stand-up collar will reliably protect the delicate skin of the neck from cold, damage, solid particles, dirt, dust, as well as rubbing with body armor; Velcro at the ends of the wide sleeves allows you to adjust the comfortable width individually according to the size of your wrist; A large number of spacious, reliable pockets on the jacket and trousers allow you to always keep at hand all the items necessary for completing the task. Two or more pockets on the chest, and the same number on the sleeves, make it convenient to use;

Special drawstrings allow you to tighten the trousers from the bottom to fit your legs. They protect the skin from the penetration of dirt, dust, and solid particles. Most often, classic black trousers for special forces have eight pockets: two on the back, on the sides and on the hips.

Two small pockets on the calf muscles serve as a place to store a first aid kit, or other important small items. Pockets located at knee height are designed to accommodate special shock absorbers.

The black special forces uniform has always been and remains the standard in this field of special clothing.

New special forces uniform from Yudashkin

In 2007, the Fashion House of V. Yudashkin, together with the Central Research Institute of the Garment Industry, developed a new uniform for the Russian special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs from camouflage mixed fabric consisting of 50% polyester and 50% cotton.

The set includes a jacket and trousers. Jacket with 2 shoulder and 2 chest pockets. There is an internal pocket. Shoulder straps (one each on the left shoulder and chest) are easy to put on and take off if necessary. Cuffs, shoulder straps and pockets are fastened with Velcro fasteners.

The trousers have 2 patch pockets on the sides and back, 2 side welt pockets. There is a special pocket for storing your personal badge. There are belt loops on the trouser waistband for a belt. A special knee insert with Velcro acts as additional protection if a seal is inserted into it. There are straps sewn to the bottom of the trousers for ease of putting the boots on the trouser legs.

Thus, with all the variety of materials, colors and designs, the field uniform of the special forces of Russia, the USA and Ukraine has a number of common features. This is the use of camouflage to camouflage from the enemy and the presence of a large number of pockets, drawstrings and fasteners for maximum functionality.

Ceremonial uniform

The dress uniform of the Russian Army was first demonstrated at the Victory Parade in 2016.

Maximum attention was paid to its development. In these clothes there should be an image of a victorious warrior of the Great War, the memory of a soldier who defended his land, who liberated the world from fascism at the cost of his life, should remain.

For these reasons, the uniforms of military personnel of the Navy, Ground Forces and Air Force from 1941-1945 were reproduced. It was an exact repetition of the uniform of the USSR armed forces.

Their arrangement with an interval of 4 mm to 7 mm (crosswise) allows the fabric to be extremely reliable and the product to be wear-resistant. It is difficult to spoil or tear it. Suits made from RIP-STOP are durable and have good heat transfer.
