war between Russia and Ukraine

The Russian Armed Forces (RF Armed Forces) consist of three branches of the armed forces (Ground Forces, Aerospace Forces, and Navy) and separate combat arms: the Strategic Missile Forces (SMF) and the Airborne Forces (VDV). These branches also include specialized units: engineering, communications, NBC protection, and electronic warfare. Their primary missions include defense, protection of territorial integrity, and strategic deterrence. They wear the marsh-green EMR camouflage pattern for their uniforms. On their vehicles, they use the letters "Z," "O," and "V" as symbols.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) is a military organization that ensures the country's security and sovereignty, consisting of ground forces, air forces, naval forces, special forces, airborne assault forces, and unmanned aerial vehicles. Since 2022, the AFU has been conducting large-scale combat operations, undergoing modernization and receiving Western equipment. Their uniforms feature the "pixel" (MM-14). On their equipment, they use an equilateral white cross as their symbol.
