It's no secret that for many people there are three letters of the Airborne Forces andto this day remain a mystery. Strictly speaking, the abbreviation of the Airborne Forces, the decipherment of which is in fact very simple, entered our life long enough thanks to the glorious General Vasily Margelov, who in life was highly respected by most of his fighters who considered him their second father.
History of creation
Officially in our state the Airbornetroops appeared on August 2, 1930. It was at this date that the parachute landing was first used at the air force exercises near Voronezh. In the rear of the conditional enemy, 12 people descended from the heavens, armed with rifles, machine guns and other ammunition. By and large, the abbreviation of the Airborne Forces appeared, the interpretation of which is simple and understandable for almost everyone.
Prewar route of troops
Paratroopers before the Second World Warwere actively involved. Thus, during the Soviet-Finnish war, two hundred and first, two hundred and fourteenth, two hundred and fourteenth airborne units fought on the front lines, the soldiers of which made swift passages to the rear of the enemy, destroying its units, staffs, warehouses, communication centers, strong points. And to this day, the abbreviation of the Airborne Forces (its interpretation is a very simple matter) inspires fear to many foreign military men.
Landing in Russia
Officially this type of troops was recorded in 1992. At the time of 2015, 45,000 servicemen were members of the paratroopers. The structure of the landing provides for the presence of three main components:
- assault-assault;
- the parachute landing;
- assault-assault mountain.
Emblem
Any abbreviated designation, includingthe abbreviation of the Airborne Forces (decoding: airborne troops), carries a certain meaning. The soldiers of the landing, who received the chevron as a parachute with two planes, were not an exception. She came up with such a graphic designation Bocharov Zinaida Ivanovna.
A well-known fact is that when in 1978 VasilyFilippovich Margelov retired, then he went to the draftsman at her workplace, personally thanked him for his contribution to raising the morale of the paratroopers and called her paratrooper №2.
For many recruits of the Airborne Forces (decodingthe abbreviation was mentioned above) and today remain desirable for service by troops. And all because the landing completely proved its validity by a lot of accomplished combat and training tasks, as well as the ability to adapt to absolutely any external and internal conditions.
