White flag with green saltire and over it a red cross throughout. Again, the influence of Russian naval practice is apparent, even if such designs could have come from other sources too. The jack was introduced after the 1990's changes, but if it is an entirely new one or a reintroduction of some older pattern, I am not sure. Also, I am not sure when exactly was it introduced (possibly before the 1997 coat of arms decision). Based on my approximation of the album image, it seems that the width of the cross and saltire arms is 1/6 of the hoist. Incidentally, I believe it could be mathematically proven that if so, then the size of the green edges of the flag would be 1/10 of the flag hoist vertically near each corner, and 1/10 of flag length horizontally near each corner. Anyone care for the proof?

Red flag with the naval ensign in canton, fimbriated from the red field with a white line and with three white anchors set one each in the remaining quarters of the red field.

Red flag with the canton equal to the Minister of Defence flag, fimbriated from the red field with a white line and with three white stars set one each in the remaining quarters of the red field. As I am expected to raise weird questions, I would like to know if it can be confirmed that the flag in the canton used on this flag is indeed the same as the Min-Def, and not the naval ensign which is apparently used in all other naval flags (the difference is, of course, in the wreath around the lion). If it is confirmed (I have no doubt it shall be so), it may be a good idea to point out this "irregularity" on FOTW.
