Russian Imperial Dragoon Saber IUS-S-124
After 1881, Russian cavalry received a new sword; the 1881 model Russian cavalry saber. They
also received a new designation - Dragoon. All Russian cavalry were re-organized into Dragoon
units - a tactical nod to the growing difficulties traditional cavalry had with newer, modernizing
infantry and artillery arms. Dragoons were cavalry units that while mounted and able to fulfil
traditional cavalry duties, were trained to be able to dismount and fight as foot infantry. These
hybrid units, effectively mounted infantry, were ideal at seizing objectives and harassing
enemies - a role that the new Russian cavalry excelled in. Russian cavalry would play significant
roles in the Russian Civil War, particularly the 1st Cavalry Army of the Bolsheviks, the ‘’Red
Horse Army’’ that would keep Imperial Forces from Moscow. Cavalry units even played a part in
WWII, where their ability to cover great distances without gasoline was an advantage for
resource-strapped Russia in the early war.
