The main part of the exercises will take place at the training grounds of the Southern Military District - Prudboy,.

After the institute, the training camp took place there. The Karpovka River is good there, clean. There are a lot of cancers and lines.

Why are the teachings called the Caucasus? If the exercises are in the Astrakhan and Volgorad regions. And where the lines come from in a clean river, so they prefer to live in some kind of swamp. Although I used a rod a couple of times in the river. Delicious fried plague.

Well, good luck. It's hard to learn, easy to fight. It's a good news. Partners should see that our gunpowder is still dry.

The Caucasus is under me - I am happy and mute, and I only envy those others who have Appalachia yet to come

No offense to comrade gen.-p-ku Fomin A.V., but he is very similar to Sergei Artsibashev (rest in peace to him) in the role of "wild ensign"

... And the Chinese have already arrived in the Astrakhan region, many speak Russian well, now they are being "frozen" (like, "quarantine-acclimatization"), supposedly in the 20th they will fully participate in the Caucasus-2020 exercises
