1236
Largest Airborne doctrine since the USSR
In late August, Kostroma, Yaroslavl and Ivanovo region were the largest exercises Airborne over the past 20 years!
Reporters before the start of the landing was presented a static exhibition equipment, weapons and all that.
And the beginning! First flew aerobatic team "Russian Knights».
Behind them quickly down the scouts managed to parachute.
At the same time on the field were already fighting. Rather their imitation.
Then began the most important thing! Airlift of military equipment and more than 1,000 people from 21 IL-76!
Imagine the size and weight of this tank?
Under the tank inflated cushion pads.
One such combat vehicle weighs about 10 tons. And here is clearly seen as it flies out of the plane in an upright position.
The second stage was landing troops.
Again, that just landed more than 1000 people!
Some carried away by the wind completely the other way. Eyewitnesses said that some landed on the wire, the road, and all the gardens.
The highlight of the program was a combat reconnaissance stork.
After landing was shown various small appliances.
My favorite reporter's hell. Broadcasts Russian Airborne Troops commander Vladimir Shamanov
The next part of the program was forcing the Volga.
At this point, the Volga is very wide, about 1 km. On the other side of vengeance exploded bombs.
And with our friendly shore at a speed of flies in the water fighting technique.
In fact, I did not know that almost all the military equipment can swim.
Press Secretary Airborne Colonel Alexander A. Cherednyk.
Of following stage of the exercise was to boost the lake in one of the military units.
Weather by this time quite spoiled.
Of course, everything exploded.
Good NADYM!
Suddenly, the sun came out, a rainbow appeared and was absolutely beautiful!
Suddenly the operator :)
I could not do without the B & W image. This Russian Airborne Troops commander Vladimir A. Shamans.
