Going back to the topic about the ARAH-era Joes' card-carrying bad-asses based on the filecard info and/or comics appearances, I suppose Red Star could be in the discussion (depending on which version of the filecard you favor, the one with the Cobra sticker or the GI Joe version which marks him as an international GI Joe ally like Big Ben and Skymate). The filecard lists him as a veteran of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and a member of the Black Sea Fleet's naval infantry (which would make him a member of the independent 810th Naval Infantry Brigade, if we're going by a late 1980s/early 1990s pre-Soviet Union collapse order of battle). If nothing else, by reputation, the Black Sea Fleet's Naval Infantry Brigade (which had an elite battalion of naval parachutist commandos) was supposed to be one of the toughest marine organizations on either side of the Iron Curtain.

yes.
Big Bear is Airborne. Stormavik is Naval Infantry too. Not sure about Brekhov or Misha... Last edited by CapBritain; 06-29-2013 at 11:06 AM.. |

Yup. I'm fairly certain Brekhov was Naval Infantry as well, or at least he's from the Black Sea coast region of the Ukraine (I can't recall which issue of GI Joe or GI Joe: Special Missions it was, but I know he's been mentioned as having been born in the port city of Odessa). Which sort of makes sense since Red Star is pretty much Brekhov in everything but name.
Stormavik's "new-sculpt" era filecard lists him as "a member of the elite Soviet Airborne Forces" although I can't recall if this was something that was ever mentioned in the ARAH comics. Last edited by zuludelta; 06-29-2013 at 08:43 PM.. |

Ah. Thanks for clearing that up. Was this in one of the ARAH Yearbooks or Order of Battle issues?

I think it was in a regular issue. Possibly one of the Sierra Gordo issues.

I don't remember that one although he's dressed in the undershirt that both the VDV and the Russian Naval Infantry wear but the wrong beret for either.
