Airborne Forces Day (Airborne Forces Day)


Airborne troops - "winged infantry", "blue berets" - with what epithets did not award paratrooper guards, but always, at all times and under any circumstances, the strength, courage and reliability of people living according to the principle: "Nobody except us!"

History The Airborne Forces (Airborne Forces) takes off from 2 August 1930 - then a unit of 12 paratroopers was parachuted into parachutes during the exercises of the Air Force of the Moscow Military District near Voronezh. This experiment allowed military theorists to see the prospect of the advantages of the parachute units, their enormous capabilities associated with the rapid coverage of the enemy by air. Since that time, and celebrated the Day of the paratrooper.

At the beginning of 1933 in the Byelorussian, Ukrainian, Moscow and Volga military districts were formed aviation special battalions. By the summer of 1941, the staffing of five airborne corps of 10 thousand people each had ended. Paratroopers have always been at the forefront in the battles of World War II.

Airborne troops have written many bright pages in the history of the armed forces. Their valor and courage, selfless dedication to the motherland forever fanned with unfading glory. And today, paratroopers evoke respect and admiration, both among veterans and young people preparing for military service.

They are where the most dangerous, where you need high combat skills and excellent physical training, self-sacrifice and courage. "Blue Berets" is always at the forefront - whether it is a peacekeeping mission or participation in an antiterrorist operation.

Today, paratroopers from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus celebrate their glorious holiday.

      Happy holiday to all real men!
      Every real man that day is obliged to swell like a pig, swear his whole street, cripple a 4-year-old girl and heroically beat her father's three alcoholic friends!
      I suggest immediately, without undue modesty, to rename this day on the Day of Sovkovy Gopnik-Alkasha!

      I was not offended wink ! Pepper is clear, "embroidered shirt" provokes conflict! Jerking off to a guy is not so exciting if the paratrooper is not offended.

      If someone believes that the Correspondent is such a propindos and Zhidomasson site, then the Observer and Today are the main information resources of the Party of Regions, they write the same thing:

        Winchester You even have Nick Pindo. Apparently you yourself are a Pindo uproot. And you don’t know anything about the Airborne Forces, that's why you are spraying pus. No one protects individual idiots. They are everywhere. Only the real paratroopers are not about your honor, American skin. If you are so brave, try to serve the Motherland in the Airborne Forces yourself. But I think that for this you have a small intestine, you are our backroom behind the Internet. This site is for those who at least a little, but love their country, and not for paid Pindos.

        mitrich, dear, thank you so much for your congratulations!

      I join in the congratulations!

      And the comments of "Winchester" are described by Sergey Kara-Murza. The war for opinions and souls continues - and this is a real "military information stuffing" - the idea of ​​destroying or damaging one of the components of the people's consciousness - respect and love for the army. When such single throw-ins are repeated, it can become "fashionable" to be skeptical first about the army, then toward the state, then not skeptically but hostile - all this was already when the USSR collapsed. Then being a patriot became not just "not fashionable" but ashamed.
