Badge Specialist of the USSR Armed Forces, officer grade 3

By 1960, the Armed Forces of the USSR had excellent specialists in the field of aviation, tank forces, radio engineering and communications. But representatives of other branches and branches of the army wanted and had the right to the same recognition of their labor. Many similar projects have accumulated in the rear of the USSR Armed Forces. It was then that the decision was made to introduce a class qualification for the entire command staff and a single swallow. By order of the USSR Ministry of Defense No. 0085 dated August 10, 1961, this was done. All previous class insignia were abolished, with the exception of class specialists for sergeant and rank-and-file personnel of all branches of the armed forces.
