I think that on the chevrons of these subdivisions there should be local mountain peaks-let's say at the Kabardian center this is of course Elbrus-how many of our soldiers died in World War II ....

It seems that everyone in the army except these badges is in perfect order! This is really good!

During the Soviet Union, OrdzhVOKU cadets wore the sign "Mountaineer of the USSR"

A universal version is needed, just like the climbers - the highest recognition of skill in the USSR was informal - "Snow Leopard". Again, you can make a beautiful emblem under this.

Good evening. Here you are not accurate. Snow leopard title is certainly an honor, but this is the level of the first sports category.

Your will, but if you pass ALL the seven thousandths of the USSR and this is only the first sports category in mountaineering ....... You confused the hike with "The Conqueror of the Highest Mountains of the USSR". There was such a sign in the USSR there is a list of ten peaks, no less.

[Humpty]

Here's the thing, as a rule, 4 seven-thousandths plus Khan, people went to the Snow Leopard title on routes of category 5A, which corresponds to the closure of the first category with a second-rate category. Winning an exception, it is the simplest half-category route that is more difficult.
Closing the CCM requires and earlier required something of a higher category of complexity.
For example, a series of difficult walls or difficult routes on the same seven-thousanders.
KMS has the same climbing permits as MSK

I’m not a climber, I judge only by the stories of people who are older than me and, moreover, amateurs ... well, they like to climb mountains. I met one at all on Prechistenka in Moscow, he spent a jubilee evening in the House of Scientists, at the age of 70 he "ran" to Elbrus, to warm up And that he voluntarily passed as test subjects with Gazenko ... what a horror! One bath is worth it! I did not hear anyone breaking his record!

Elbrus

Elbrus is already depicted on the sign "Alpinist of Russia".

[Now we are free]

The wife's brother serves in such a unit under a contract. He himself is an athlete and was very glad that having signed a contract after the usual "army" he got into the community of the same sports guys. The loads there are much more (specificity, after all). When I saw the emblem of his unit, he said with respect -Yes, you are a mountain shooter of "Edelweiss" ... He laughed, - damn it would be so well versed in stripes like you! And then even my kents stupidly look at the patch and ask, “Well, is it clear to SPN, but what is SPN? .. As if no one sees Alpenstocks and the symbol of Elbrus.

P.S. I am glad that insignia are introduced in such troops (the guys will have good motivation to develop their military climbing skills). It is time for everyone to know that we have a good mountain special forces which Russia so lacked during the recent conflicts in the Caucasus. "Edelweiss" is certainly not a very good example, BUT these guys made a stir at one time in our Caucasus Mountains. In the mountains, they certainly do not win by numbers or even perseverance. but skill.

[Humpty]

The hat-hat of the Edelweian is gathering dust with me. They were able to sew in Vienna in high quality. The double thread on the inside, supporting the characteristic fold in the front, even it did not break.

And still the badge "Huntsman" is silver, gold, etc.

He recalled that "four training centers have been established and are functioning for training military personnel in the mining divisions: in Kabardino-Balkaria, the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Irkutsk and the Crimea."
You forgot the TWO, where future officers of these troops undergo training and education.

[Mikhail Krapivin]

Edelweiss them on the chevron. No kidding. The Germans do not have exclusive rights to it and the symbol is understandable. For those who understand :)

[Abbra]

In my opinion it will be too much. Wear an image of edelweiss ... On it is the blood of our defenders of the Caucasus.

And not only. They were on the Kursk arch too.

[Mikhail Krapivin]

They were in many places. But I'm not talking about them, but about edelweiss, which, among other things, is the official sign of mountain specialists from Switzerland, Italy, France. It’s not a dead head, it’s a mountain flower, a symbol of a climber who could :)

Money in bulk in the Defense Ministry ... And parasites-morons ...
Either the stars on the technology "develop", then the qualification marks instead of class ...
It would be better if they came up with a new miniature tent stove ...
Where is there a "financial crisis"? - write, draw, develop ...

Uh ... yes, it was. Don’t take it to heart, but it’s something like a mark of honor for participating in the May Day demonstration

I looked with pleasure. Everything is just as in life that we cannot do ourselves, a hammer, a shovel, a boot, etc. Buy bourgeois. Well, okay. But fear the bourgeois, soon we will teach our bears to climb your zhumars.

Of course, I understand the teachings, but the absence of white camouflage uniforms puts me in a stupor.

The color scheme of iron and motivochki is sports, it is specially made so that it is further visible.

Thank you for the video. I myself am engaged in ski tourism (ski touring). It is pleasantly surprised that in Russia. the army is practicing this, and with good equipment, while in Russia this sport (and this is really a sport compared to skiing or snowboarding on a lift) is still not very popular. I don’t recommend to especially acquaintances since it’s dangerous without a database, you can really walk near the lift. But on such skis in the mountains you can overcome long distances. Already just like the Austrians or Swiss look, well done. But by itself: the Caucasus is not small.

[Kerch]

I read that it seems like the Germans did not just edelweiss on the chevron, and some had a real flower on the form. It was possible to get it only in the highlands, therefore, the owner of the latter possessed remarkable climbing skills

Yes, it’s full of you, the smell of blooming edelweiss attracts cows. They like to eat it.

[saigon]

It’s time for the mountain riflemen to give their emblem. It must be distinguished from motorized infantry.

[31rus]

Dear, against the "edelweiss" of these mountain goats or swamp devils, as they called themselves, our grandfathers beat in the Caucasus, and near Kursk, and near Leningrad, and the flower itself and the name is not ours not Russian, why not organize a competition, here you can choose
