This is because their life and service are traditionally associated with numerous hardships, hardships, difficulties and direct threats to life and health.

Even those who did not serve in the army should be perfectly familiar with the army belt from the times of the Soviet Union. You can see these not only in museums and films, but even in service with many modern armies of the former republics of the USSR. This is because a huge number of such belts were produced at one time. Moreover, in Russia, they began to abandon Soviet belts only in 2014, replacing them with new modern ones.

A lot of interesting things are generally connected with an army belt. For example, by how the belt was worn and how the badge with a star was tucked into it in the Soviet army, it was possible to determine which group in the informal hierarchy a soldier belongs to. In addition, the badge was also an important tool at the disposal of the soldier. Especially skillful fighters even knew how to light matches about them!

However, today we will talk about another notion of the Soviet military. So, many soldiers of a large and immense Fatherland sharpened one of the corners of a metal plate. This was done for a reason, but solely for utilitarian reasons. The sharpened side turned into a small utility knife that could be used while sewing, as well as to open canned food when going out into the field. Indeed, everything ingenious is simple! Moreover, you can sharpen the badge, if you wish, even on stone or asphalt.
