MOSCOW. Feb 7 (Interfax-AVN) - The Russian Defense Ministry has approved changes in the military uniform, a spokesman for the ministry told Interfax-Military News Agency on Thursday.
The changes mainly concern officers of the Air Force who are to abandon the traditional blue uniform in favor of a khaki one, similar to the uniform worn by servicemen of all other armed services, except those of the Navy, the spokesman said.
The Air Force command already started changing its uniform while lower-ranking officers will get the new uniform when the old one is worn out.
The changes to the uniform are made in line with the Russian Armed Forces reform and for the sake of servicemen's uniform unification.
