Russian VDV Airborne Forces
Vozdushno-Desantnye Voyska! The VDV is a branch of the Russian military. They are a rapid reaction and infiltration force, comprised of 5 divisions and 1 brigade. Only a few small airborne drops were carried out in the first desperate days of Operation Barbarossa, in the vicinity of Kiev, Odessa, and the Kerch peninsula during World War Two. Those small drop units have now grown into a modern, fierce, fighting force. The VDV took place in some of the most pivotal battles of World War Two and had a very direct connection with the demise of the German occupation over Prague, Chernigov, Odessa, Brest, and Danzig, and was largely resposible for the liberation of the Belorussian front. When the motherland calls, the VDV answers! VDV units were some of the first elements of the Russian retaliation in South Ossetia against Georgia in 2008. 76th "Chernigov" Airborne, and 98th "Ivanovo" Airborne division's took place in the liberation of Tskhinvalli and eventually pushed into Georgia itself, defeating every line of opposition until Georgia finally surrendered days later. The VDV participated in the rapid deployment of Russian forces stationed in Bosnian city Ugljevik, in and around Pristina airport during the Kosovo War. Streaming into Kosovo's capital, NATO found itself face-to-face with the Russian troops. American officials did, for their own reasons, publicly downplayed the significance of the confrontation, but it is impossible to deny that, this event points dramatically to <b>...</b>

Ilyushin Il-76 Candid/Soviet VDV Airborne Operations
The Russian Airborne Troops or VDV (from "Vozdushno-Desantnye Vojska",) is an arm of service of the Armed forces of the Russian Federation, on a par with the Strategic Rocket Forces and the Russian Space Forces. First formed before World War II, the force undertook two significant airborne operations and a number of smaller jumps during the war and after 1945 for many years was the largest airborne force in the world.[

Antonov An-12 Cub/Soviet VDV Airborne Operations
By the 1980s there were seven airborne divisions in the VDV (including one training) and several independent brigades, regiments and battalions although only two divisions were capable of being deployed for combat operations in the first wave against NATO employing assets of the Transport Aviation of the Military Air Forces and the Aeroflot. There was also a mistaken Western belief, either intentional Soviet deception or stemming from confusion in the West, that an Airborne Division, reported as the 6th, was being maintained in the Far East in the 1980s.[11] This maskirovka division was then 'disbanded' later in the 1980s, causing comment within Western professional journals that another division was likely to be reformed so that the Far East had an airborne presence.[12] The division was not listed in VI Feskov et al.'s The Soviet Army during the period of the Cold War, (2004) and the nearest division ever active, the 99th Guards Airborne Svirsk Red Banner Division based at Ussuriysk, was broken up to form separate air assault brigades (parts of the 11th, 13th, and 83rd Brigades) in 1973.

AIRBORNE! Russian Spetsnaz LGOPS on Purpose; VDV by Light Tanks
American Little Groups of Paratroopers (LGOPS) was an accidental effect during the Normandy D-Day landings due to scattered drops. We tend to want to fight set-piece battles with larger units against larger objectives. www.combatreform.org The Russians also had decisive effects with LGOPS defending Moscow in WW2 and deliberately send small groups of saboteurs behind enemy lines with their SPETSNAZ special forces. Best source is Suvorov's book, Inside the Aquarium. This amazing video shows a Spetsnaz LGOP High Altitude, Low Opening (HALO) Airborne operation against simulated NATO surface-to-surface ballistic missiles. www.combatreform.org Notice the AKM bayonets and scabbards joined to cut wire: we adopted this feature on our M9 Wire Cutter Bayonets: www.combatreform.org Towards the end of the video, you will see the main force VDV Paratroopers drop with their own ASU-85 85mm gun STUG and BMD infantry carrying light tanks to act as operational maneuver groups (OMGs)--yet another capability we lack today in the American Airborne.
