        Well, from the "prohvesera" you will not expect this. For him, everything good that is connected with Russia is like a sickle in the balls.
        I myself will choose from a screw pictures with higher resolution (for the possibility of enlargement) and with the most interesting scenes. I will send to administrators for placement. There are China, and the DPRK, and Serbia and Belarus. There are European NATO members. Somewhere in a separate daddy there are only women from different countries of the world. Here are some -

    It is also useful for us to adopt the American experience and take spectacular photographs of our aircraft. This will enhance the image of the army and will facilitate the arrival of contract soldiers in the professional service, and youth in the emergency.

      For sexual dysfunction in which the patient likes to watch how one urinates on the other (especially if it is also a corpse) there is a special name. There are problems with the treatment so far. The same goes for lovers with a watch to observe cannibalism. sad

    Well, if you don't bile, then, for example, I liked the photo of the Raptors in Alaska, and it demonstrates the possibility of operating the F 22 in difficult conditions. And the photo of the landing ship with a hovercraft is nothing. "Machine gun" cal. 25 mm, nevertheless, probably closer to the author. cannon.
    Naturally, we also need to post similar photos everywhere.

        Fly on weekends at the end of the week so as not to break away from the main capitalist labor. Once a year, no one flies except kamikaze, and even they lose their skills so much that they can not reach the goal.

          No, I talked about the fees once a year, they seem to be there for almost a month almost like. And in general, it’s not a bad idea in cases where there are pilots who can get under arms and are not much inferior to regular pilots.

            Either training camp, or training. In AOI, reservists also fly every Friday morning to maintain skills, and fees and operational activities by themselves.

            At the expense of not much inferior, reservists even surpass them in many respects, for example, in combat experience. Although in the American army there are many reservist pilots in the national guard who have never snuffed gunpowder.

      There is one homosexual in the American army. Whether it is in the Israeli!
      And so, an amphibious assault boat doesn’t fall into the dock the first time, such water dust. They probably fill a lot of cones there. The raptors and birches made the heart skip a beat. Thought if we were already sitting down?

The “ninja” division numbers up to 3500 women who own various martial arts, professionally handle the traditional ninja weapons - nunchaku, katana, shuriken, and are also trained in silent movement, tactics of reconnaissance and sabotage units, handling explosive devices and firearms weapons.

    Che you get to the bottom of the pictures? It would be better to see how "public relations" should work normally in the army. When our people speak on TV or at exercises with pointers at the ready, it's a shame to watch. Until we learn how to properly promote the army, there will be an attitude like bears with felt boots, etc.

            Unsuccessful comparison. The fight between white people and the bullying of ethnic fraternities over colleagues are completely different things. Well, if only there was a video of how Latins spread VIVA MEXICO from whites and blacks made white to dance the dance of little swans, that’s another thing, but you won’t find such videos from the American army. Military police work very well there. And this is precisely why they are voluntarily joining the American army, the authorities do not limit the appeal for blacks and Latinos, but they drag them into the Russian army by force and do not want to take others even for a bribe because they are afraid. But the American prison is very similar to RA ... there gangs of blacks and Latinos, with the connivance of the protection of whites, spread rot easily.

    In general, it’s not very clear why the photos suddenly spread to relations in the army, is it possible to compare the relations of servicemen in the USA who have voluntarily entered the service and in Russia where they are forcibly driven into the army (there are very few volunteers), and as for the Dag and Czechs, YES FRIEND and, apparently, they will be grunting for a long time, because the officers also participate in this matter, one of my elder friends told me that the money is rather a part of the money that they collect as tribute to the Dagi and the Czechs, they give to the officers, not everything is of course, but it’s decent among the officer corps .... and why some civilians call it a scum of the Russian Army is unclear or they want to say if the problem is hushed up then it is as if there is no (ostrich position) ..... although it is a tradition of our authorities to keep silent about the problems .....
