| More about the uniform... The late 1980's saw the introduction of many new uniforms designed to give the Soviet military a modern professional appearance. To further this end, the Naval Infantry issued a new each day uniform that brought the black look of the field uniform into everyday use.
It was identical to the field uniform in cut, but differed in the fact
that badges and decorations were authorized for wear on it. These
are worn over the breast pockets. |

Rank shoulder boards were identical to the black boards worn by naval personnel on their No. 3 uniforms. A black belt is worn over the tunic at the waist. Trousers have two open pockets at the hips. The trousers secure by buttons on either side of a large flap on the trouser front. Stirrups secured by buttons are found at the ends of the pant legs. These help the wearer when blousing them into the synthetic leather boots.

Service Chronology The No. 3 each day summer uniform was one of the many uniforms that were authorized during the modernization campaign of the late 1980's. It saw the introduction of the black Naval Infantry uniform for each day use. This gave the service a highly distinctive uniform when on base. The uniform survived the collapse of the Soviet Union, and was used by the Russian Federation. This continued until 1994 when the uniform was replaced during the sweeping new uniform regulations which did away with virtually all Soviet era uniforms in favor of a new 'Russian' national style. |
