ВДВ. С неба-в бой

VDV - "troops for war".

This is the meaning that real paratroopers put into this concept.

The author of this book is a veteran of the airborne troops, who gave them more than a quarter of a century and passed the difficult path from a soldier to a senior officer in the Office of the Commander of the Airborne Forces.

Mikhail Skrynnikov tells in detail not only about his own fate, inextricably linked with the airborne assault, but also about the history of this elite branch of the military, about the military operations in which he happened to participate. The reader has the opportunity to survive the first parachute jump, to feel like a "white bone" of the Airborne Forces - a military intelligence officer, to capture a Dushman leader in an Afghan village, to block Georgian militants in Abkhazia.

"There are no impossible tasks" - this motto of the airborne troops best of all characterizes the hero of the book and his comrades - real soldiers of their homeland.
