Airborne Forces Day (Airborne Forces Day)

265
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.

    If I used to respect our paratroopers, then the other day, walking through the streets of the city, I didn’t see anyone except drunks, sorry, I didn’t see pigs. Is this the “pride” of the Russian army? It’s a boozy drink that sticks to passers-by and makes them very tense when passing by.
    You can tell me whatever you want, that I “went to the wrong place, the right paratroopers are gathering in other places,” that the paratroopers do not agree. There really are real men in the ranks of the Airborne Forces who can actually do something in military conflicts. But all their work will go down the drain due to the fact that the overwhelming majority of the paratroopers will be stuck up to their ears in shit, and they will have to be pulled out, because apart from breaking bottles on their heads and loud exclamations of “For the Airborne Forces!! 11,” they have not learned anything.
    I am ashamed to live in a country where inveterate rednecks inspire pride.
    Real paratroopers, where are you? I hope you're still around!

    Well, it turns out that not all paratroopers wear distinctive insignia on the holiday of August 2, but go for a walk in civilian clothes... These are real guys who served in the Airborne Forces, who have more than one tour of duty in the GT, military awards, and wounds. ...Who even in peacetime stand guard over society, the Law, honestly serve in the authorities, often in special forces...
    And what happens - the brave defenders of their people, drunk on bitter drinks, attack their citizens as they were taught - with a threefold superiority, but still they receive a rebuff from a real Airborne Forces fighter or an artilleryman with fists of pounds, or a tankman of a fly boxer... Gee-gee. .. Damn...
    Fools were told long ago that the wrong one always rake, but they (the fools) are unaware of everything...
    I think that on such a serious holiday, airborne troops are obliged to create squads from their adequate ones, which should severely punish crazy, brainless clerks and other scumbags who imagine themselves to be the elite of the Russian Army, but in fact are freaks who are sometimes born into the family or become...
    And besides this, vomited entrances, piss-filled park alleys, mountains of dishes and garbage, frightened girls, women, and elderly people...
    Who will rejoice at your holiday with you, who will bring you flowers with a smile, if in response the fist of a brave airborne freak may fly into your face?
    Think about it, adequate heroes of the Airborne Forces...
    Otherwise, you will forever miss out on such a necessary holiday for the country and people...
    When people will laugh and spit, and not admire at the sight of a military man in a beautiful airborne uniform...
    When it becomes embarrassing to go out in this uniform, and you begin to celebrate quietly in garages and apartments with quiet sad music...
    Who gave you the right, with your moronic actions, to humiliate the dignity of the Airborne Forces - troops whose fate is heroic daring, supported by professionalism, acquired at the expense of the people, this is sacrificial patriotism in the name of Russia...
    Personally, I am ashamed of you because of some members of your Brotherhood...
