Talk:Military ranks and insignia of the Soviet Union (1918–1935)

RIDICULOUS NATO CODE
How can you compare Red Army "ranks" from 1924 with a NATO-code?
 * 1) Source is lacking. Has anyone compared Red Army ranks with NATO-code?
 * 2) How can NATO-code be relevant, when these "ranks" where instituted 20 years before the foundation of NATO?
 * 3) The NATO-code is the result of an agreement between the NATO-countries called STANAG 2116. The Soviet Union of 1924 (or even of 1989) is not party to that agreement!

 * In addition there are no sources for it either. Its dreamt up behind a computer, and lacks relationship to reality. Even as fiction, it lacks realism. K1 - one triangle, "Fire team leader", is given the code OR-5. In what army is a fire team leader an OR-5? Positions on this level also included Командир звена, помощник командира отделения, старший стрелок, наводчик пулемета, водитель автомобиля, мотоциклист, that is assistant squad leaders, senior riflemen, machinegunners, automobile drivers, and motorcyclist. In what army are motorcyclists or machinegunners sergents? Even in the 20's. Come on ... Luke (talk) 18:15, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

Minor name change?
Shouldn't the page name be changed to something along the lines of "Military Ranks and Insignia of the Soviet Union (1918-1935)" since some of what is described here has nothing to do with military rank like the red star badge or the Army of Taman chevron? That or maybe the creation of a new page into which that info would emigrate to? Rojo Rosa (talk) 08:41, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
