From heaven to battle
September 28 squad of journalists and bloggers at the invitation of the press service of the Ministry of Defense went to the tactical exercises in the Ryazan region.
In the period from 26 to 30, September 2011, the tactical exercises with one of the paratroop regiments of the 106 Guards Airborne Division are taking place.
In the course of the exercise, questions will be worked out on the preparation of command and control bodies of the formation and military units in the field, practical landing and the fulfillment of combat training tasks.
The exercise is supervised by the commander of the guard division, Colonel Vladimir Kochetkov.

The armored hull of the CAO is made of aluminum alloys, but nevertheless it protects the crew and equipment from rifle-and-machine-gun fire.
The experience of the combat use of this installation, including in Afghanistan, showed its high reliability: NONA-S repeatedly helped our paratroopers with its fire.
