First read a joke from the Patriotic War era:
"Davarishi! Discover the target and load torpedo !"
"Sasha, you have committed an old problem again! We are in T-34 now!"
Although it is just a joke, for the Soviet Red Navy back then, such a battlefield is indeed not too exaggerated.
and even the Soviet Navy Infantry (морской пехоты), it was once called "the strongest army of the Soviet army."
Like the famous " World War II ace sniper", Soviet hero Vasily Zaitsev, he was once a small accountant of the Red Navy .
In reality, although Vasily is a rural youth from the mountains, it is not the kind of semi-literate person who doesn’t recognize a lot of words in the Western co-production movie “ Soldiers Under the City ”, but an intellectual young man with a technical secondary school degree and obtained accounting qualification. Before the war, he was originally a "civilian" of the Red Navy. After the war, Zaitsev voluntarily retired and obeyed the government's allocation to work in a textile factory in Ukraine. He served as a middle-level cadre. Later, he was transferred to the Kiev tailoring machine factory as the factory director and settled there. Until he died on December 15, 1991 at the home of Kiev at the age of 76 (this time...) After retiring, Vasily wrote two textbooks on sniping, which are still used by the Russian army as classic textbooks.
movie male protagonist and prototype, looking at Vasily's own eyes, it is obviously not ordinary people. In "The War to the City", he is actually portrayed as a country bumpkin hunter who "seamlessly connects" from the ravine to the Stalingrad battlefield and has never seen the world.
The movie also specially used some "details" to express Vasily's semi-illiterate state - writing a letter, and constantly asking the political commissar how to spell the words.
"The War to the City", Vasily's female partner also taught him how to learn culture
. In reality, Comrade Vasily Zaitsev, a naval civilian who was originally in the office, took the initiative to apply to go to the front line, and actually beat hundreds of Germans in the land war.
It is largely related to the high quality of the Soviet sailors after they got ashore.
In this regard, the Soviet Union continued the tradition of Tsarist Russia in the era, while Tsarist Russia referred to the earlier British Empire . Compared with other services, the navy has a higher threshold and good treatment.
Another very embarrassing reason is that in the early stages of the Patriotic War, the Soviet Union was beaten quite passive by the Nazi German army and lost many western ports; at the same time, a large number of Soviet Red Navy's ships were either sunk or trapped inside the port and could not move, and could not fight a decisive battle on the far sea like the US, Japan or the British and German navies.
Then, the sailors who were unable to drive the ship had to go ashore, and some were placed in the naval infantry units (this was an amphibious armed force originally brought by the Red Navy), and the other part was organized into "Naval Shooting Soldiers". They removed some of the naval guns and transferred them to some high grounds to serve as shore guns . Some people were even trained to become tankers and began to fight bravely against the invaders on land, from the defense of Crimea to the Prime Minister's Office in Berlin!
In the "Immortal Legion" parade on Victory Day, President Putin was holding a photo of his father. Putin's father was once a naval infantry in the Patriotic War
at that time, the Soviet Navy had five "district fleets", namely: North Pacific Fleet, Red Flag Amur Fleet, Caspian Fleet, Danube Fleet, and Pinsk Fleet. All of these five district fleets participated in World War II. In addition to the North Pacific and the Amur (Heilongjiang) district fleet, the other three had a large number of Red Navy troops landed onshore to fight land wars.
These Red Navy soldiers wearing sea soul shirts to fight land wars can always catch the German army off guard.Not only are they skilled, but they are also stronger (the navy has good food), but they are brave and fearless in combat. They will always burst out with strong combat power, which will cause great panic among the German army, and they directly called these "army" wearing sea soul shirts "striped demons."
In this way, the sea soul shirt became a symbol of the bravery and fearlessness of the Soviet army, and was recognized as a major element of the elite troops of the Soviet army, and continued to the era of the Russian Federation.
Today's Russian naval infantry is literally basically equivalent to the " Marine Corps " in the military forces of other countries.
Moreover, the Russian naval infantry is also equipped with paratroopers and is equipped with heavy weapons such as army armor to meet the needs of land warfare in various situations.
At present, the Russian naval infantry includes the 55th Division belonging to Pacific Fleet , as well as the Naval Infantry Independent Brigade of the Northern Fleet and Baltic Fleet , as well as the Naval Infantry Independent Regiment of the Black Sea Fleet and the Caspian Sea Squadron, and the scale is still OK.
is similar to that of the Soviet era. Today's Russian naval infantry still belongs to an important role on a land battlefield.
The past two The Chechen War , the Russian-German War in 2008 and the Syrian battlefield, they were brave and had a very good record, and they all had huge shadows on the enemy.
is just...... When we arrived at the Ukrainian battlefield, it seemed... the situation was a little less "Hara is missing".
After all, Russia, which accounts for 11.4% of the entire land area of the earth, has a vast territory and a particularly complex surrounding environment. After entering the stalemate stage, the Russian soldiers began to be very nervous. No matter how hard the "elite" naval infantry could fight, they could not all be taken to the western battlefield to fight against the Ukrainian army. Most of them had to stay and guard their homes.
Results, in June this year, the 155th Independent Naval Infantry Brigade of the Russian Navy Pacific Fleet stationed in Vladivostok ( Vladivostok) in the Far East began to recruit retired old men aged 50-65 to form a tiger volunteer soldier.
It is reported that after one month of training, these old men will wear "naval infantry" berets with unique Russian bear characteristics, wear sea soul shirts that symbolize elite troops, and pull them to the Ukrainian battlefield to "play their remaining energy".
However, although they are a little embarrassed at the age, if you think about it from another perspective, many of these old men have experienced the Soviet years and are quite in line with the tenacity, low demand and high obedience of the "naval infantry" character.
Another time, which is quite embarrassing.
A while ago, in the direction of Kharkov, Ukrainian troops captured some Russian tank soldiers while pursuing the hasty evacuated Russian troops. After interrogation, they found out that they were driving the warship in the Baltic Fleet. After more than half a month of training, they were dragged to the Ukrainian battlefield as naval infantry to drive the tank .
Sailors went ashore to fight land wars, which belongs to the glorious tradition of the Soviet Union/Russia, and the effect has always been very good. But it is indeed very unusual to lose craftsmanship.
Interestingly, as mentioned above, with the rise of the Soviet Red Navy in the Patriotic War, the sea soul shirt has also become a symbol of brave and fearless steel tough guys. In addition to the naval-related arms, other combat units also love striped uniforms very much.
For example, the blue beret + blue and white striped sea soul shirt of airborne . The stripes that intersect light blue and white refer to the blue sky and white clouds.

plus a set of modern equipment, which really gives people a feeling of being particularly elite "striped strong man" with a huge combat power, which is very difficult to mess with.
and green stripes are the Russian border defense forces.
In addition to the green striped sea soul shirt, the Russian border defense forces also matched a green hat.
Maybe, this is the designer of that year that recalled the vast forest on the border.
Within the red stripes and the little Red Riding Hood, the Russian National Guards. Their role is somewhat similar to our armed police force.
In addition, the orange sea soul shirt + orange beret is a subordinate force of the Russian Ministry of Emergency. Their daily work is to deal with accidents and disaster rescue, etc.
Today's Russian Federation Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu When he was the head of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situation in the 1990s, he handled the Ufa oil refinery accident cleanly, which attracted more attention from Moscow. Later, with the continuous support of the "Negotiable", he rose to prominence in his career. Even though he had not experienced any practical battles on the front line, he successfully won the rank of general.
When the head of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situation, Shoigu often did not fear risks and went to the accident site to command
However, for a long time, especially before Russia's latest two rounds of military reforms, many times, the Russian army was particularly unpretentious in dressing, especially those front-line soldiers, who liked to go through the "mixed style".
and some netizens made such a "memo".
Even if you take a photo with the leader, you will dress in a variety of clothes.
During the Second Chechen War, Acting President Putin inspected the front line
. This joke also said that if you encounter a group of Russian bears wearing military uniforms in a mess and showing a touch of sea soul shirt inside, such "mixed and matched Russians", they are definitely first-class and elite veterans who have experienced many battles. The combat effectiveness is proportional to the vodka they have in hand.
wears a Shanghai soul shirt and airborne it tonight in Los Angeles
. Of course, the above is just a joke.
After two consecutive military reforms, the elite Russian army has worn this. If it weren't for the Russian weapons in your hand, you said that this was the US military, and anyone would believe it.
Russian special forces on the Syrian battlefield
In 2014, the "little green man" in Crimea also changed the image of the "beggar army" that was ruined by the Russian army.
The picture below is a Russian army standing guard on the streets of Khelson . Judging from the exposed striped sea soul shirt, he should be a "navy infantry".
However, although the uniform clothes of the Russian army now do not look rustic, the recent performance on the battlefield is difficult to describe.
However, it seems that it is still too early to draw conclusions easily at present.
After all, historically, the most powerful thing about Russia/Soviet Russia is that it can withstand huge casualties and pay unimaginable prices without breaking down.
During World War II, France surrendered the whole country, but tens of millions of casualties in the Soviet Union, but the victory was achieved after tens of millions of casualties in the Soviet Union!
Every time, it is almost always forced to the least "Hara Young Master", and then suddenly starts a violent army and then consumes the other party to death at a huge price.
This country may not be very beautiful in wars. The damage to war is usually much more than the opponent, but it can fight with you all the time and endure it to the end.
and whether the United States and Europe can take it down is something else.
