      The “winged sword” as the emblem of the SOBR and OMON appeared in 2012 during the reform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. A sword with wings symbolizes the speed of action in the fight against criminals and terrorists. But unlike the “combat unit” of the internal troops, the sword was not very popular among the soldiers of the SOBR and OMON. Before the appearance of the “sword”, the “Unit” also served as a symbol of some special forces units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

      A fist with a machine gun was a symbol of Special Forces units and subunits of internal troops. In the slang of fighters, it is called a "combat unit." "Unit" symbolizes the ability of Special Forces to fight the enemy, not only with firearms, but also in hand-to-hand combat. The symbol first appeared in the late 1980s with the special unit “Vityaz”. Later, the “combat unit” passed to the chevrons of other units and Special Forces of the internal troops. There was a "combat unit" even on the combat banners of the special forces of the EOD units.
