Have been trying to ID the patch, and the only link is the writing at the bottom. It appears to be Cyrillic, and has been identified as Russian.
It appears to be written incorrectly. Translations thus far have varied from the following:
F*** You In The Ear
You Got A Hard On (literally You Wooden D***)
I know many of the forum members here are Russian, or are able to read it fluently, and may be able to assist in providing an exact translation.
Thanks in advance!

I couldn’t find another thread to add this to nor could I see much on the Mk7 anyway so if this needs moving I hope one of the Mods can oblige.
I am not a helmet collector but as with most of us I suppose other stuff finds its way into my collection on occasion and somehow I find I have some 30 lids now:rolleyes:
Anyway, I thought this Mk7 complete with packaging (which shows the nomenclature) might be of interest.
The shell label would be very hard to photograph on this one but it shows that this is a 2009 issue making it one of the first (the Mk7 was introduced in 2009). This explains why the cover is labelled as a Mk6 because MTP was introduced while the Mk6 was in service and before the Mk7 so the earliest Mk7 lids had Mk6 covers as they do fit as you can see. Now that the Mk6 is no longer issued the MTP covers are Mk7 specific, I’m not too sure if they are physically different though.
I never used the Mk7 in service (I retired in 1999) but I did use the Mk6 and I can certainly say that the Mk7 is far more comfortable with no need to stuff it with field dressings etc to stop the knot in the drawstring giving you a headache. My son used the Mk7 in Afghanistan so we compared notes as it were and he agrees:rolleyes:
It seems these are none to common on the collectors market at the moment but I daresay with talk of an impending replacement that may change soon (unless the whole lot get flogged to some "client state":D
Here are a few pics;

Seen a couple of these pop up on various auction sites, not sure whether it a genuine medal or not.
Certainly looks post war and instituted fairly recently and more like a state/minisrty rather than military awarded medal.
Also referred to a Polish Brotherhood of Arms Medal.
This medal has been minted to commemorate*the Polish Soviet Brotherhood of Army. Medal awarded to higher Polish and Soviet commanders.
The Battle of Lenino was a tactical World War II engagement that took place from 12 October to 13 October 1943 as part of the Spas-Demyansk offensive operation in the Duki-Ilovets direction near the town of Dribin, north of the village of Lenino in the Mogilev region of the Byelorussian SSR. It was part of the offensive in the 33rd Army (General V.N.Gordov) sector north of Spas-Demyansk, of the Western Front (Soviet Union) to dislodge units of the 4th Army of the Army Group Centre forces.
A World War II Polish commemorative medal. Medal is circular with a long shield at its center reading 1410 1945 GRUNWALD BERLIN. Around the edge of the medal are the words BRATERSTWO BRONI AN STRAZY POKOJU I SOCJALIZMU.
Medallion is 1-1/2 height and 1-3/16 width but entire length of medal is 3-1/2 long.
Nickel-plated brass medallion on links connected to striped silk ribbon.
Markings: MINISTERSTWO DBRONY NARODOWEJ and POLSKA RZECZPOSPOLITA LUDDWA on reverse.
Anyone have any info?
Regards
Stefan
