High Boots Next Year "Decommissioning" The Russian Army Solved The "Foot Binding Cloth".

It is proposed to build "military boots monument".

In the past 300 years, the first thing that Russian recruits should do is to learn how to wrap up the foot binding cloth.

However, they will no longer suffer from this "pain".

The Russian military has made decisions that soldiers do not wear high boots and wear leather shoes.

Boots and foot cloth retired

The news was revealed by Russian armed forces logistics minister and Deputy Minister of defense Vladimir Izhakoff general.

He announced in November 23rd: "boots and foot binding cloth will be crossed out from the Russian standing clothing list."

He added that boots would not completely disappear from the army. The guard of honor and troops stationed in special climates, such as the Arctic region, would still be equipped with boots, but their performance would be greatly improved.

According to media information, the Russian army currently has about 3 million pairs of boots inventory, these boots will not be simply disposed of, some of them will become soldiers working shoes.

General Izhakoff did not specify the specific time for decommissioning boots. The media speculated that the process might be completed in 2008 when the Russian army changed its new clothes.

Proposal to build "military boots monument"

For the Russian army, boots for leather shoes are also a "major revolution", and their significance can be compared with the wearing of the shoulder straps back in the early 40s.

Under the current conditions, the image of the army will also undergo tremendous changes. At least it will look more modern, but it will be difficult to determine whether the mental aspect will change.

During the Soviet era, the "boots for leather shoes" plan was also planned, but eventually they were misled by the general's objections. Their reason was: "the Soviet Union was wearing boots to Berlin."

Some media pointed out that the new military uniforms and new military shoes may be the "most obvious results" of military reform, but in any case, it is a good thing to do something, and the important thing is to develop in a better direction.

Taking into account the historical merits of military boots, the media also proposes to build a "military boots monument" opposite the Ministry of defense.

Military experts oppose changing shoes.

The retirement of boots is controversial in Russia.

Alexander Coates, reserve sergeant, said, "this day is finally coming. It's great!"

Coates is the same as many people. He thinks that it is a kind of torture for soldiers to wear boots and cumbersome feet and cause beriberi. When they are taken off, the barracks are smelly and stinking.

But Victor Baraniec, a famous military commentator and retired colonel, has different opinions. He said: "when our soldiers have to go through the cold muddy or marshy areas to assault the enemy, if they are not wearing boots, they will not be able to advance ten steps."

It is reported that in the 70s and 80s of last century, when the Soviet Union reached 5 million hours, the stock of boots was more than 15 million pairs. These boots were subsequently inherited by CIS countries, and Belarus and Ukraine ceased to use two or two months ago.
