The airborne assault is an elite branch of the Russian army. Subdivisions of paratroopers are called upon to perform important missions during combat operations in the rear of the enemy. Service in the "winged guard" has always attracted conscripts, although it is associated with difficulties. Those who served in the Airborne Forces can cope with any tasks in civilian life.
Airborne forces - the elite of the army
Airborne units are highly mobile, and therefore belong to the rapid reaction forces. In a real war, paratroopers will have to carry out tasks to cover enemy troops after airborne landing. They must conduct hostilities and carry out sabotage operations in an autonomous mode, in isolation from the main divisions of the army.
The paratroopers are required to have high combat training, coordination and the ability to act quickly in extreme situations, relying solely on their own strengths.
Future conscripts do not always have the opportunity to independently choose their place of service and type of service. And yet, even in modern conditions, when the prestige of military service is significantly lower than in Soviet times, young people strive to get into service in the Airborne Forces. Interest in these elite troops is associated with the positive image of the paratrooper, created in the domestic mass culture and in the public consciousness.
The desire to join the glorious combat traditions of the airborne troops is understandable. Everyone who has gone through the harsh school of the Airborne Forces knows that wearing a paratrooper uniform is honorable and responsible. Service in the airborne units is not only romance, but also hard work. But difficulties temper, shape character and make real men out of yesterday's schoolchildren, ready, if necessary, to stand up not only for themselves, but also for other people.
What does service in the Airborne Forces give
The Airborne Forces is a forge of leadership cadres and a school of courage. In a military collective, a young man becomes a real man. This is where character is formed and hardened. A tough daily routine and high demands on physical fitness can break the will of only a weak person. Those who strive for success in the service are not afraid of such difficulties.
Service in the Airborne Forces teaches not only order and discipline. In conditions of hostilities, mutual assistance and mutual assistance are of particular importance. Therefore, the landing team at all times was distinguished by coherence and high cohesion. The sense of collectivism, instilled during the service, helps in the conditions of civilian life.
A former paratrooper is a reliable and loyal friend, always ready to help in a difficult situation.
The airborne troops provide excellent physical training. During the service, special attention is paid to sports, the development of dexterity, strength and endurance. The training program for paratroopers includes parachute jumping, hand-to-hand combat and other types of martial arts. The paratrooper learns to master not only firearms, but also cold weapons. And in an extreme situation, he may well cope with the enemy with the help of improvised means.
