Alright, I used the terms Soviet and Russian interchangeably. But for the sake of accuracy can anyone tell me the difference between a Soviet ICBM and a Russian one? Or the difference between the uniform of a Russian soldier/sailor/airman and those of his former-Soviet older brothers?

Just in case a few here have not noticed, the Red Star, symbol of the so-called former-Soviet Union is back with a vengeance in todays Russian military forces by decree of President Vladimir Putin.
