Modern Ukrainian Medals Pack - October 2015 Update

Nice medal pack, medals are a nice feature of Strike Fighters and indeed we need them in our mods.

Thank You very much

Thanks, a very nice Pack!

Unfortunately there has not been without "branchy cranberries")) For example, the official name of the Ukrainian state it's just Ukraine, without any additional words. Accordingly, the head of state called the President of Ukraine (PRESYDENT UKRAINY), not "the Republic"! The State Awards are given by the Decree of the President of Ukraine (rather than "Administration"). Next. Order For Merit is a civilian award. And starley (senior lieutenant), he was awarded the Order of Bohdan Khmelnytskiy 1st Class - it's all a fake! ))

Sorry for the unintentional fish bones left. As the Presidential Administration ("Bankova", name discontinued 2005-2010) is intended to manage and relieve the President of many administrative activities, I thought it an adequate link for transmitting the President's will to lower levels. My mistake, it seems. The Order of Merit can be awarded to members of the armed forces for outstanding military achievements: then the ribbon displays crossed swords, which is the case here. Bogdan's neckband is explicitely said to be an exceptional award: here it can be awarded only for a fourth outstanding feat, after the 3rd and 2nd classes of the Order of course but also a first gold star of Hero have already been awarded, which does not concern 1st Lt Anybody. I put it in the list thinking about the Red baron exceptionally awarded an order usually not conferred below field rank officers, due to his international notoriety and propaganda status as a living standard for his fighting nation.

[ Personally, for modern jet air force, I rather use different lists of ranks beginning with 1st Lt or Cpt depending on the nation, reflecting seasoned pilots; so if awarded after one or two promotions you would have a Cpt or Maj, which I agree, sounds more realistic. ]

Yes, you are right. The Order for Merit - theoretically - could be handed over to military officials (like some other "civilian" awards). Anyway, in a year of war such awards was not... Yes, on the blocks of the Order for Merit 2nd and 3rd Class can be accomodated swords (but 1st Class and Star of the Order remain without swords ))

Modern award system of Ukraine is not suited for war. In the Statutes there is no detailed specification of a merit, which is awarded the appropriate order or medal. Blurring the relevant paragraphs of the Statutes is causing mishaps and even abuse...

But, in principle, if you mean an alternative history, much of what I'm nitpiking, can be taken as an assumption! ))

By the way, if it is of any interest to you.

The "tradition" to attach the crossed swords to the ribbon of the Order of Merit comes from 1992. At the dawn of Independence "Honorary Insignia of the President of Ukraine" for several years was the only Ukrainian decoration. The Statute of the insignia provided an opportunity to reward the soldiers too. In this cases, was added to medal ribbon a small swords - although the Statute and the Discription is not provided! After appearing in early 1995 a special awards For Courage and the Order of Bohdan Khmelnytsky, warriors practically ceased to award "Honorary Insignia". Later, in 1996, this is quite a beautiful sign was renamed to the 3rd Class of the new Order of Merit. Only the manufacturing quality has become much worse...
