What is RD for paratroopers. Stowing in a backpack of items of combat calculation. Inside the side pockets are small pockets for grenade fuses. At the bottom of the knapsack and on its side walls there are sewn-on ribbons for fixing the roll of a marching overcoat or raincoat.
Price for 1 (one) piece.
PURPOSE:
The backpack is designed to accommodate and carry items of combat equipment in it, which the paratrooper takes when landing behind enemy lines. The backpack is conveniently placed on the parachutist both during the jump and in combat conditions after landing. It consists of a satchel, shoulder straps, a bag for machine magazines, a bag for hand grenades and a shovel case.
The satchel and bags are made of Avisent with silicone impregnation on the inside, which provides protection from rain and other metrological precipitation.
DESCRIPTION:
knapsack serves to place cartridges, explosives, personal chemical protection equipment, food, a bowler hat, spoons and toiletries in it. It has the shape of a box, in the upper part of which there is a lid and three valves: two side and one front.
Pockets are sewn to the side walls of the knapsack, designed for laying grenades for a hand grenade launcher, hand anti-tank grenades, explosives, cartridges and other items of combat equipment.
When fitted to a parachutist machine gun or light machine gun(unassembled or folded) in the left side pocket of the satchel is placed Bottom part weapons in order to protect against possible engagement with parachute parts at the time of its opening. Inside the side pockets there are small pockets for placing fuses for hand grenade grenades.
For attaching to the backpack a roll of an overcoat or raincoat, on the inside of the pockets, side walls and bottom of the knapsack, webbing-strings are sewn, for pulling which there are holes with blocks on the outside of the knapsack.
In the lower corners of the rear wall of the satchel on the outer side, corner ribbons are sewn with curved buckles and carabiners for attaching the satchel to the shoulder straps.
To preserve the shape of the backpack, a stiffening wire frame is sewn into the front wall of the backpack from the inside, and stiffening plates are sewn into the lid. The valves and lids of the satchel are fastened with toggles.
Shoulder straps made from polyester. They are designed to attach a satchel and bags and to hold a waist belt on a parachutist.
One of the ends of the shoulder straps is sewn to the knapsack of the backpack; bags are attached to the other ends: to the right - a bag for machine magazines, to the left - a bag for grenades.
For comfortable placement on the shoulders and to protect the shoulders from chafing, the belts have two padded jackets, a chest bridge, two half-rings for fastening carabiners of corner tapes and three curved buckles for adjusting the tension of the belts. The pocket for the shovel handle is attached to the parachutist's belt.
Bag for vending machine magazines made from an advisor. The bag has a buckle for attaching it to the right shoulder strap. The bag is attached to the waist belt with two fastening straps and can be moved and removed freely. The lid of the bag is fastened with two toggles.
Bag for hand grenades made of avizent lined with cotton waterproof fabric; grenades RG-42 or F-1 fit into it. Cartridges in packs can also fit into the bag.
Inside the bag there is a partition with four cells; two large cells are designed for fuses for RG-42 and F-1 grenades and two small ones for fuses for hand-held anti-tank grenades.
On the outside of the bag there is a buckle for attaching it to the left shoulder strap. The bag is also fastened to the waist belt with two fastening straps and can be moved and removed freely. The lid of the bag is fastened with two toggles.
Shovel case made of avisent and designed to be attached to the waist belt of a small shovel in the combat position of the rucksack and in the position of the rucksack for jumping.
The case is held on the waist belt with two straps. The cover valve is fastened with two toggles.
Stowing in a backpack items of combat calculation:
When packing items of combat equipment into a backpack, the knapsack of the backpack is filled first. Food is placed at the bottom of the satchel, then a bowler hat, cartridges, chemical protection equipment, a towel, soap and a spoon. For best use internal volume of the knapsack, it is allowed to put cartridges and other small items. It is allowed to put a flask in the satchel.
Then the right side pocket of the satchel is filled. Depending on the specialty of the paratrooper, an anti-tank hand grenade or a grenade for a hand grenade launcher can be placed in the side pocket of the satchel.
Before hand laying anti-tank grenade you must first unscrew the handle, which fits in the side pocket of the satchel next to the body of the grenade. The fuse of the grenade is placed in a small cell of the partition of the belt bag for grenades.
When equipping a sapper, explosives in checkers are placed in the right side pocket of the satchel. The case with accessories for blasting is placed in the knapsack of the backpack separately from the explosives.
In the right side pocket of the backpack, the machine gunner or submachine gunner places cartridges in packs. It is allowed to put a flask, chemical protection means and other items that do not fit into the satchel in the side pocket.
When filling the knapsack of a backpack, automatic magazines and hand grenades are placed in bags. The shovel is placed in a case or attached to a parachutist in his own bag.
The magazines of the machine are placed in the bag with the lids up, and with the curved side (stiffening ribs) towards the small shovel.
When laying hand grenade RG-42 or F-1 grenade fuse is placed in a large cell of the partition of the bag for grenades. In the free compartment of the bag, you can place cartridges in packs or accessories for cleaning the machine.
A small shovel fits into a cover for a jump and for combat use. To jump, the shovel is placed with the handle up so that the concave part of the tray is adjacent to the back of the parachutist. The handle of the shovel is inserted into the pocket of the padded jacket of the right shoulder strap. In the combat position, the shovel is placed in the case with the handle down.

The clothing and equipment of the landing groups must meet the basic requirements, it must not only be comfortable, but also ensure the fulfillment of the assigned combat missions.
First of all, the equipment should:
- do not restrict movement;
- ensure life;
- meet all the parameters of reliability.
The equipment of the paratrooper depends on the tasks that he faces. Landing troops staffed with fighters of various orientations. Basically, the airborne units serve: flamethrowers, snipers, machine gunners, submachine gunners and sappers. Depending on the military specialty, each fighter has his own combat equipment.
In addition to the basic attributes of a paratrooper, a flamethrower's mandatory set of equipment includes a light flamethrower. The machine gunner cannot do without a weapon capable of providing a flurry of fire and stopping the enemy. Sappers are equipped with new mine detectors capable of detecting shells even behind a concrete wall.
Backpack
A mandatory attribute of an airborne fighter is his equipment. The backpack of the paratrooper RD-54 was specially designed for airborne troops army of the USSR. Widely used during afghan war in 1979-89. This backpack was successfully used during the war in Chechnya and Ossetia, but even now it can be found in the troops.
There are many varieties of such backpacks, but the most common ones are:
- Soviet canvas;
- Russian membrane in flora colors;
- Russian in coloring figure.
The backpack is a multifunctional system with three compartments for various items. The backpack of the paratrooper RD-54 is worn on the shoulders in the same way as a regular tourist backpack. There is a clasp in the form of a carabiner on the chest. The set includes three additional compartments, which are attached separately to the belt. One compartment is intended for a sapper shovel.
In the shoulder area there is a compartment for a knife, and in opposite side place for the location of two grenades. On the right side there is a pouch for two stores of a Kalashnikov assault rifle.
The main compartment of the backpack closes with two buttons. Inside the backpack is placed an army dry ration and the necessary things. On the sides there are compartments closed with buttons, where you can place a bottle or a combat smoke bomb.
There is another type of RD-98 paratrooper backpack. It is significantly larger than its predecessor, but is not designed for parachute jumps. But in some situations this is not required. It has a place to store grenades and all necessary ammunition.
Laying the backpack RD-54
It is possible to stack various equipment and equipment in the RD (paratrooper's backpack). Consider the most common type of styling.
Find out: How to sew and attach shoulder straps to a shirt
- We put a bag with a gas mask. To do this, you need to unzip the satchel and put a bag with a gas mask inside.
- Kalashnikov assault rifle magazines in the amount of 4 pieces are placed on the bag.
- Smoke bombs are placed in the side compartments.
- In the left side compartment, you can put a cape.
- Finally, the backpack should be laced and fastened.
- In the pouch we place stores for the machine in the amount of 2 pieces.
- Grenades fit into a separate grenade pouch. Before landing, grenades and a fuse are placed in different compartments in it.
- A sapper shovel is placed in a special pouch. It unfolds with a concave side to the body and is placed in a special compartment for it.
In order to collect all the necessary pouches, you should use a belt. First, a bayonet-knife in the cabure is threaded into it, and then all the details of the RD-54 system are alternately located. Loops are provided on each pouch so that it can be freely put on a belt.
An interesting feature of this backpack is the ability to throw it over your head and get required item. To do this, unfasten the side carabiners and throw it over your head. Get the necessary items and without unfastening return it to its original position.
Equipment needed for landing
Such a combat maneuver as the landing of airborne units serves to suddenly land behind enemy lines and start fighting. The outcome will depend on how quickly and smoothly this action is performed. military operation. Not last role this is played by suitable equipment for a paratrooper paratrooper.
When landing personnel, each paratrooper must have a certain list of mandatory equipment. It includes the following items:
- The main and reserve parachute system assigned to the military. If necessary, an insurance device is issued. When performing landing from low altitudes, this is not required.
- In winter, overalls and a warm jacket are required. The form should be well adjusted so that there is no restriction of movement. On hand in without fail gloves or three-fingered mittens.
- On the head, in addition to the hat, there must be a hard helmet and goggles.
- On the feet should be shoes that fit well to the size of the foot. V winter time felt boots or boots are allowed.
- A sling knife must be attached to the knapsack. This item is vital for every skydiver.
- When landing on water, the use of life-saving equipment is provided. Each case has its own equipment.
- When making jumps from a height of more than 4000 meters, each skydiver must be equipped with oxygen equipment.

The parachute comes with a special bag in which it folds after landing. This must be done quickly, especially in combat conditions.
Depending on the performance of certain combat missions, all the necessary equipment is parachuted along with the paratrooper, it can be:
- personal protective equipment;
- personal means of communication;
- weapons and ammunition for it;
- food;
- shooting kit;
- special equipment depending on the combat specialty.
New uniforms and uniforms for paratroopers
With an introduction new form in the ranks of the armed forces of the Russian Federation, the changes also affected the troops of the Airborne Forces. Only the beret remained unchanged blue color paratrooper. The entire paratrooper field uniform fits easily into a backpack and consists of 16 items. The winter kit includes a special paratrooper vest. Airborne epaulettes on field uniform made of fabric and put on the form in the area of the shoulders.
Modern landing units equipped in accordance with the new developments of the Ministry of Defense. For landing, such modern parachute systems as Arbalet-2 and D-10 are now used. These species parachute systems more secure and manageable than previous systems.
The mandatory equipment, in addition to the satchel of a paratrooper, usually includes an AK-74M assault rifle. For snipers and machine gunners, the appropriate types of small arms and automatic weapons. Sappers are equipped with advanced mine detectors capable of detecting mines at a great distance.
In 2014, a new complicated suit of combat equipment for the paratrooper "Warrior" was put into operation, which is used in some units of the Airborne Forces. It is a modular system of 40 components that can be changed depending on the combat situation.
This equipment was tested during military operations in Syria, and proved to be the best side. Outfit "Ratnik" is characterized by increased wear resistance and is made of special kind fabric that can withstand high loads. The fiber from which the fabric is made can easily withstand high temperature and poorly flammable.
The bestseller of the Soviet special forces in this area is the RD-54 paratrooper's satchel. By by and large, this is not even quite a knapsack, but rather a simplified unloading system, the basis of which is the knapsack.
True, in the current situation, only a knapsack is mainly used, combined with more advanced unloading systems. The RD-54 has many advantages, small flat dimensions, simple, reliable design.
It is made from khaki cotton canvas. Disadvantage when used in modern local conflicts- low capacity and, in addition, low mechanical strength of the base material. (This, of course, does not detract from the undoubted advantages of this system, which has managed to stay in service since 1954 and has gone through all the military conflicts in which Soviet Union and Russia in the second half of the 20th century.)
Modern satchels
Now developed a number of modern knapsacks, and some of them are quite interesting. For example, the RD-98 satchel. It is usually made from Cordura or Oxford.
"Gentleman's set" of special forces.
The volume is twice that of the RD-54. But you should immediately make a reservation: this satchel was not originally designed for parachute jumps. However, for most situations this is not required. The parachute, with its unpredictability at the landing site, especially in difficult landing conditions, is now being replaced everywhere by the landing method from a helicopter.
Therefore, the requirements for a combat pack as an object for landing are practically not applied. Hence the design changes. The RD-98 has a main container with a high tube and a double puff. Two side pockets designed to attach two AK magazines or five grenades to an underbarrel grenade launcher.
Moreover, there are special attachment points for removable inner pouches of a simplified design. This is either a belt with patches to accommodate grenades, or a pendant for two magazines. The pocket has a figured flap that closes it from above and from the sides, and double fixation with a textile tape and toggles.
Patrol pack.
There is a variant of a pocket with an inflection at the top, that is, with such an inflection, the pocket is completely isolated, and practically nothing can fall out of it or get into it. A voluminous pocket is sewn onto a long flat pocket to accommodate long items, for example, a Taiga-type machete knife or a mine probe.
Next to the pocket is a small pocket and a drawstring under flare. There is another modification, where this pocket is increased in size and length, and you can place either a signal flare or a smoke bomb in it.
Combat satchel RD-98.
A large voluminous pocket on the back of the satchel is designed to accommodate auxiliary items, such as a cape, a poncho. The flap has a waterproof card pocket. All pockets and the main tank itself have holes with eyelets for water drainage. To accommodate equipment that is afraid of water, special hermetic bags are used.
The main container of the backpack is made of two layers of fabric and polyurethane foam padding on the front and back. Such a gasket serves as a shock absorber, and at the same time reduces the noise from the equipment placed in the knapsack in case of accidental shocks. The back of the backpack has a reinforced shock-absorbing layer and two polyurethane foam rollers lined with khaki cotton fabric. The straps are lined on the inside with the same khaki fabric.
Fastening system of a modern backpack on the back.
The location of cotton tarpaulins in these places is quite justified, since they are adjacent to the body, and if there is synthetics there, the body will not breathe. In addition, synthetic fabric is more slippery, which is inconvenient, especially for straps. The straps themselves are removable, and are available in two types. Wide, going to the chest, and narrow.
Narrow ones are comfortable to wear together with an unloading vest. The straps have a chest strap adjustable in length with an elastic element that does not restrict mobility, but constantly pulls the straps into the desired position. The chest strap is equipped with a quick-release lock that opens in one motion. As a rule, the fabric that goes on the satchel has a camouflage coloring, although khaki is more and more preferred, as it is quite versatile.
Raid backpacks.
And the disguise of a more serious plan is carried out at the expense of a mesh cover with multi-colored patches sewn on. Such a cover not only masks in color, but also blurs the contour of the object, making it shapeless. On the top and bottom of the backpack there are places for attaching additional equipment; volume adjustment is carried out by lateral couplers, height adjustment - by valve belts.
Backpack-backpack "Kikimora"
Another interesting design is the Kikimora backpack. Its dimensions in height are somewhat larger than those of a regular satchel, but the main thing is in the unique ability to change the volume from 30 to 60 liters. "Kikimora" has two side pockets and one pocket at the end.
In the first models, the pockets are open and flat (they are adapted to accommodate disposable fly-type grenade launchers), since the backpack is designed for use in mountainous conditions, where extra protruding parts are useless, since they interfere with lifting it on a rope. In later models, flaps appeared on the pockets, and they themselves became voluminous. The back of "Kikimora" is made double, its outer part goes into the upper valve, and the lower part into something similar below. A hammock mat is inserted into the resulting gap.
Special Forces soldier with a raid backpack.
Since it is made on the basis of Kevlar, the multi-layer package, which is formed when it is laid in the back, acts as a shock absorber, a rigid element of the back panel and anti-fragmentation protection. In addition, the set includes a poncho cape and a Cocoon-type sleeping bag. There are attachment points in the bottom valve to accommodate a sleeping bag. The backpack has a high tube and a long top valve.
All this allows you to turn it from a satchel into a small backpack. Taking into account the lower hanging place, where, in addition to the sleeping bag, a rope or a warm jacket can be placed. The volume is almost doubled. Volume adjustment is carried out by two tightening straps with self-tightening buckles. The straps are fixed at the top and their length is adjustable at the bottom corners of the backpack.
When the backpack is full, special braces are used to compensate for the tipping moment. There is a detachable waist belt to make the backpack fit more tightly on the torso. It is threaded into a special loop with the bottom flap folded down. The backpack comes with an additional dry bag and a special "shaggy" cover for camouflage.
Patrol pack with water supply system.
Other backpack designs
Foreign models of such knapsacks generally have a classic design. The difference is that some models have removable sets of pockets, the presence of which can significantly expand their volume. There are fundamentally different designs of knapsacks, they do not have a valve, and the entrance to the knapsack is through a zipper.
This design makes it more convenient to pack the satchel, but is less reliable, although a sufficiently powerful zipper is duplicated by tie-down straps, which take the main load. On the sides of such a satchel there are attachment points for various auxiliary equipment and weapons. Some Russian firms are starting to make copies of such structures. However, a satchel, even with an increased capacity, cannot replace a large backpack.
Army backpacks
Army backpacks are quite complex designs. For example, the backpack of the South African special forces consists of suspension system and main tank with various pockets. Suspension system with a developed belt, on which elements of combat equipment are fixed. In fact, this is an unloading system to which the main container of the backpack is attached.
Patrol pack.
If you pull a special ring, then the main tank drops, and the fighter is left with only elements of combat equipment. Army backpacks often use a rigid frame. It is made of plastic and can have a rather complex structure, on which all the power elements of the suspension system can be attached, or it can be simplified in the form of aluminum alloy or plastic plates inserted into pockets. The presence of a rigid frame provides the backpack with good ergonomics and simplifies carrying cargo over rough terrain. There are models of backpacks that even have a built-in climbing safety system.
It is located in a special pocket at the bottom, and theoretically it can be put on without removing the backpack. True, as practice has shown, attempts to combine safety systems with unloading, vests and backpacks do not always give good result. The reason for such attempts is the desire to combine functions and somewhat reduce weight. As a rule, such designs are much more complicated. Army backpacks are designed as complete systems, there are no just pockets. Everything is designed for specific equipment.
So, for example, the lower cavity is designed to accommodate a sleeping bag. In addition, there are many attachment points on the backpack for additional pouches. So its configuration is quite flexible. Several similar models are produced in Russia. Moreover, some of them are simply copied from foreign samples with minor modifications. Others are original designs. For example, the Sherp transport system.
Combat backpack of an army type.
This is a backpack with two side pockets and one back pocket. They are firmly fixed. And one large pocket attached to the flap, which acts as an assault pack. That is, in one product there is a backpack, and a knapsack, and their combination. The role of a rigid element of the back is played by a hammock mat, which folds several times and is placed in a special pocket, not only creates a shock-absorbing effect, but also acts as a stiffening element.
True, it is difficult to call such a backpack rigid, therefore the term "semi-rigid construction" is used. The presence of such a rug-hammock, cape "Poncho" and a sleeping bag allows you to survive in the most difficult conditions. The rug is either hung like a hammock or used as a bedding. The polyurethane foam padding insulates well enough from the ground and allows you to sleep even on the glacier. There is a variant of such a rug with a mosquito net.
In fact, this is already a single tent, which, in addition to the mosquito net, has closed ends made of thin waterproof fabric. The strips of such fabric also cover the sides. A mosquito net remains on top, which provides not only protection from insects, but also ventilation. Double entry. Or from the side, if it is used in hammock mode, or from the end, through a lingering tube. From above, a Poncho cape is pulled as an awning.
Suspension system of a combat satchel.
Thus, a fairly comfortable single tent is obtained. In addition to its direct function, the rug can be used as a stretcher. For this, there are special loops for sticks and loops for carrying along the edges. Cape "Poncho" is a fairly versatile product. A rectangular piece of fabric with a hood and several attachment points can be used as a raincoat or as an awning, or as a gable single tent.
The fabric is metallized on one side and has a reflective effect, which contributes to the preservation of heat. The other side of the poncho is camouflage or green. The poncho protects the rain well, as you can hide under it right along with the backpack. In addition, this design provides good ventilation, which is important so that condensation does not form.
If you pull the poncho with the cord included in the kit, it will turn into a raincoat with wide sleeves that do not restrict movement. Some models have a special pocket where the poncho is packed. There are usually cords located there.
Sleeping bag
The sleeping bag is specially designed for this set. It is made in the form of a cocoon with a drawstring hood. The latest models have a mesh that protects the face from mosquitoes. The bag is made as lightweight as possible. The lower and side parts are made of waterproof fabric with a metallic surface. The other side is camouflaged. The upper part of the sleeping bag is made of nylon, that is, it has the ability to "breathe".
For protection against precipitation it is covered with a special wide valve made of waterproof fabric, covering the nylon liner. If it's hot, the liner folds into a special pocket. For ease of placement in the sleeping bag there is a small slit with a zipper. The sleeping bag is filled with synthetic insulation. Sleeping bags are an important part of special forces equipment, especially for units operating in the field. A sleeping bag should be as comfortable, warm and light as possible.
At the same time, its design must be reliable. Comfort is provided by an inner layer of cotton fabric or a special liner. The outer layer should ensure the strength of the bag and its imperviousness. It is also desirable to ensure water resistance, but there are certain problems with the dew point. Therefore, some models have a removable waterproof cover. This design is easier to manufacture and, in addition, somewhat warmer, since any air gap helps to retain heat. Usually the design of the bag is made like a cocoon, but has a small side zipper.
The hood, as a rule, has a drawstring that almost completely covers the head, leaving a small hole for breathing. The basis of any sleeping bag is the insulation material, its power, the order of the layers. Down is a classic insulation, but it has certain negative properties, in particular, it does not warm when wet. The best option is eider down, but these sleeping bags are quite expensive. Therefore, in modern designs they mainly use synthetic insulation, which, although inferior to natural fluff in terms of thermal insulation properties, is nevertheless more reliable. Some modern heaters in many respects have already come close to fluff almost closely. Other materials are also being improved. Thus, membrane fabrics solve the problem of ventilation and at the same time provide protection from moisture. An important element is the bag for packing the sleeping bag.
The sleeping bag itself is quite voluminous, so the packing bag has a system of tie-down straps, which can significantly reduce the volume of the sleeping bag and simplify its placement on the equipment. In addition, the bag must be durable, waterproof, and have elements of suspension and attachment to a backpack or unloading system. There are also special models of sanitary bags. It happens that often the wounded need to be warmed.
Therefore, such a bag, as it were, combines the functions of a stretcher and a warming bag. It has a special pocket for stiffeners, which are improvised materials. An additional heat-insulating mat can also be inserted there. The peculiarity of the sleeping bag is that it is revealed in separate sections.
This allows the affected area to be opened up for the necessary treatment while keeping most of the body warm. This is very important for first aid in field conditions. In addition, the sleeping bag has carrying loops for portage and pockets for sticks, which make it easier to carry, giving longitudinal rigidity to the structure.
Carrying bags
Very close to the design of special backpacks are also bags for carrying (transportation of equipment). Their ideology is very close to the ideology of special bags for photojournalists, as they are divided into several sections and have additional pockets.
The designs are very durable, made of synthetic fabrics that are resistant to abrasion. As a rule, there are semi-rigid pads that protect the equipment from impacts. For carrying, central handles and a large shoulder strap are used. Usually the design of such a bag is adapted to a specific set of equipment or weapons.
A long time ago I bought myself an RD-54 from a friend who brings from somewhere and sells all sorts of military things. It differs from the old tarpaulin only in modern synthetic materials and camouflage colors.
You can read about the paratrooper's backpack and see pictures
This is what my RD looked like before the alteration (photo from the Internet):
And here's the updated one:
For a long time he lay idle with me, until his hands itched.
I needed a small backpack for outings "in nature" for 1-2 days in warm time of the year. And so, instead of what to buy, I decided to remake the RDSHK, so that I wouldn’t be lying around idle.
I must say that the taxiway is not very convenient for tourist and fishing purposes: the need to attach to a belt, pouches that are not always needed, a poorly realized possibility of hanging additional. equipment, etc. Still, this is a purely military thing.
So the first thing I did was upgrade the straps. Now the RD can be worn like a regular backpack.
Then he made a pocket out of a pouch for magazines, which just asked for an empty place. I made a convenient system for attaching additional equipment (foam, sleeping bag, awning, etc.). I sewed a carrying handle (from a narrow sling and a rubber tube).
Let's take a closer look
Additional fastening system equipment:
This is just a wide sling with fastexes, threaded through the segments of the sling sewn on the bottom.
Here's how it works (in this case, the M-65 jacket is fixed), you can also see the voluminous pocket from the pouch):
Now they are fastened with fastexes, not carbines. I set the fastexes for quick release from any side (this, of course, is an overkill, but I wanted to do so), the extra sling is tucked under the tubes of elastic tape.
Something like a MOLLE system for attaching extras is sewn onto the straps. pouches (on which I work in free time, I'll show you later).
Everything else has not changed significantly.
And from the remnants of the material and "spare parts" from the taxiway, we got such a repair kit for repairing the taxiway:
I sewed first with my hands, then a sewing machine appeared. But in some places it is impossible to use the machine.
Next in line are some more changes and pouches for small things on the straps.
The backpack successfully passed field tests, successfully served two seasons.

Dedication RD - 54
In the taiga I always wear everything on myself,
I don’t stumble, I put my legs wider ...
For this step, I am grateful to you,
Landing backpack sample half a hundred and four.
I don't know who created you.
Gone in the era of the author unknown ...
In the Landing you became indispensable,
Under the knapsack of the dome, he took a worthy place.
When he sang the song parachute,
Without music and congratulations speech:
You are on the ground in a few seconds
In place of the main lay on the shoulders.
You are light as a feather and heavy.
Loaded so - any tourist will cry.
Fire and water in the Airborne Forces passed,
And copper pipes to boot.
A land general once spoke,
What a small RD, the food will have to be thrown away!
“Small, but daring!” - Margelov said this:
“There are cartridges - there will always be food!”
You affectionately hugged a soldier
Hands-straps, wanting to save it,
A torn fragment pierced both of you,
And an evil bullet ricocheted in the back.
Backpack RD - you've been a veteran for a long time,
And every paratrooper fell in love with you ...
Have you seen Prague, Budapest, Chechnya, Afghanistan!
He served in "hot spots" more than once.
You flew with us for half a century
And walked a lot of paths, roads ...
To the craftsman who created you,
All Airborne Forces "Hurrah!" screaming at the pedestal.
Again, out of habit, assembled stands,
On a closet shelf in a tidy apartment.
And if, suddenly, the alarm sounds:
RD will go on a campaign with me - half a hundred and four.
I will gladly answer questions.
Thank you for attention.
