The Estonian Armed Forces, let them feel the difference between nature attacks and a large-scale display of the revenue of the Airborne Forces. I wish the troops weak wind and regular operation of the equipment.

At the same time, the exercises of our airborne forces in Egypt are being held.

I remember the exercises in the USSR, Kazakhstan, the march with the equipment to the train, loading, the devil knows by train where to an unfamiliar area. All for real. The only thing is, they forgot to give the paper that we are conducting exercises))). One group (DDR, served in 106 ORB), burned down by local residents. The guys went to eat in a village, went out, the border guards stand with weapons and offer to surrender)))). They took for saboteurs, for a long time then explained, different departments)
