Soviet Army Badges of the Afghanistan War (part 2)

Paratrooper Badges These badges were given to soldiers (usually of the airborne forces) based on the number of successful jumps they have completed. There are many different variations of this badge representing a different number of jumps made by the individual whom they are awarded to. After 10 jumps the badges change from normal paratrooper type to the excellent paratrooper type. At 100 or more jumps the badge changes to Paratrooper-Instructor. All of these badges are screwback type.

Officer Qualification Badges These badges were awarded to officers based on their proficiency, skill, and conduct. From what I have been told, the first two badges (class 3 and 2) were relatively easy to obtain, but the first class and master badges were much harder to earn as the requirements became more difficult. These badges came from a variety of factories in the Soviet Union and because of this standardization was a problem. These badges are made of brass and enamel. The tank in the center is painted (poorly on some examples).
