Russian airborne troops are planning joint exercises with the Nicaraguan army


The delegation of the Russian Airborne Forces will hold the first consultations in Nicaragua on conducting joint exercises with military personnel of the Central American countries, reports TASS message of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation
During the six-day visit, Russian military experts will hold a series of consultations with the Nicaraguan side on the participation of units of the Russian Airborne Troops in a joint Russian-Nicaraguan tactical exercise in the territory of the Republic of Nicaragua
- said in a statement.



Military experts of the two countries agree on the timing of the exercise, the composition of the units involved and the issues of comprehensive support.

Recall that Moscow supplied armored vehicles, airplanes and helicopters to Nicaragua, as well as artillery weapons in Soviet times - Soviet equipment was 90% in the Nicaraguan army. The military and technical cooperation of the two countries almost stopped in the 1990 year, and recovery began only in the middle of the 2000-s.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in 2016 year stated that Russia will continue to assist the army of Nicaragua in equipping it with modern weapons, as well as to train the military of this country in Russian military schools.

    This is the number .... Yes, not anywhere, but under the belly of A.Merikosov .... Yes, no one, but our DESANTURA. Here is the GDP well done. Now, let the head of the metropolitan area hurt, not for the grunt, but for its own backyard ...

        We compared a one-time action and placement of full-fledged groups (with the development of opportunities for building them up).

          And here, dear comrade, is not so simple. Seems to me agreed with the Chinese. Who is there the other day from the General Staff and Heavenly Empire rolled? And the thing is most likely in the new transoceanic channel. Apparently the group will be their junior officers to familiarize themselves with the country, about a hundred people. Wonderful things are your Lord! Well why not me !!! They’ll spoil the TPM of all local girls, and mine had discipline! laughing

            There is no channel and there will not be. Panamanian improve, and Nicaraguan is a pure fake.

              Even if the Nicaraguan Canal is built, its annual throughput will be 3-5 times less than Panama's today, and the transit time at Panama's is much less

                laughing Well, you give a pancake! But didn’t you think about the financial component and route optimization? But didn’t they know that the Panamax standard was outdated? What do some container ships unload and carry along the train? But do lighter carriers generally not go through Panama? The new channel will take on 5% of global traffic, and the old Panamanian Americans will be able to put it in their ass. By the way, it is planned in the future to reduce three channels to the lake altogether.

              We'll see. Something is definitely going on, since the regular flight Beijing-Managua has started.

      An alternative to Panamanian, like design work is underway, and China has shown interest.

        China - finances construction,
        Russia - ensures the safety of construction.
        USA - nervously smoking ...
        It seems that such agreements were previously reached.
        It has long been ...
        The question is - what are they pulling?

    It’s high time to bring the joint exercises theater to the territory of the pendostana, and there you look and Mexico will receive an invitation for joint exercises where lessons will be worked out ... how to jump over the 10 m Trump fence .. With the slogan .... You give the development of the border space of pendosia! !!

    If everything grows together, then an excellent "gift" to the snickering staff. I’m already anticipating which screech will begin and how the roof (which is already hanging on its side) will move off for some senators.

    “The fairy tale doesn’t immediately affect,” the main thing is where to start, and then it will be seen.
    At least it’s already very difficult for Americans to fight there, as it was easy for them before in all of Latin America:
    The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in 2016 year stated that Russia will continue to assist the army of Nicaragua in equipping it with modern weapons, as well as to train the military of this country in Russian military schools.
