The video contains Syrian flags and road signs bearing the names of Syrian cities.

Yeah, that’s what a lot of people are picking up on, but McCain wasn’t famous then, it just happened to coincide 
The song itself was originally written in the late 80’s, and sung by Chizh in the 90’s.
The band I discounted is also famous, even Vlad’s favorite.
It should be taken with irony and sarcasm

Yes, you guessed it, even our favorite camels have been chronicled. 
Ironic that the performer is a pop singer from Kiev who sang about Palmyra and the contract. But that was in the mid-'10s.

Very interesting. Even if Chizh didn’t write it, he has a wonderful voice.
I can tell he has an excellent taste for music.
Can you explain it?
Edit: nvm, I understand it now lol
How deep do the Chronicles go? Is it just the 20th and 21st centuries?

You’re right again, the band Chizh is already legendary among Russian speakers. It’s a classic.
Yes, this band was universally loved and the genre is extremely distinctive. Lubeh sang about ordinary workers, policemen, military men in a difficult period for the country. 90-00s
It’s literally a self-irony on the whole Soviet image like a red dawn of some kind. Well, the hope for a brighter future
I’ve already turned this topic into VLADIVOSTOK FM
Well, in general, I recommend to all who read this post, the movie Brother or Brat, it is on YouTube with English subtitles. This is an interesting movie of the era of gangsterism and horror of the 90s in the post-Soviet space. To some extent it is a Russian “Taxi Driver” with action and a wonderfully selected soundtrack.

That’s me downgrading the quality a bit to upload. All events start from 2015, peaking at 2017-2018. The contingent was small, but was generally up to the task.
Even had joint meetings in Syria.

What is insane about it??
Safer than being a German paratrooper 5 years later…
And this was the same inter-war era…
Also thanks to Novak Djokovic and Mythbusters…
So, you think it is perfectly sane to have your paratroopers climb out from the inside of the plane, crawl until you have gotten onto the plane’s wing, and jump into enemy territory, all without any fighter escorts?
Well the paratroopers have to get out of the plane somehow, there’s nothing particularly odd about them going backwards over the wing - I suspect it would be much harder to go forwards over the wing.
And given the video is from 1937 there really isn’t need for a fighter escort for a peacetime exercise that isn’t going to land in enemy territory.
Back to you…
If only there was a way to jump out the side of a plane so you wouldn’t have to climb out the top, get on the plane’s wing, and then slide off.
If only the Soviets had C-130’s in 1937… and if only the shot you had was actually from Vyazma in 1941…
Also of course the Soviets used what they had, which was a very large bomber design - not something that had ever been designed as a troop carrier or passenger aircraft.
And it still isn’t actually insane, and I note that your quote says there WAS a fighter escort - even if outnumbered and outclassed.
If only you had started with a sane post instead of a silly whine.
Good bye.
And Zhmurki
A peculiar grotesque underside of Brat in the style of Tarantino.
By the way about Brat. . .

I am glad to see they are sane enough to realize that it is safer and faster to jump out of a plane with a side door. Why aren’t you able to realize this?
What planes did the paratroopers use in Vyazma?
(I’ll give you a hint: In the screenshot, it says that seven of them were destroyed at airfields. Read carefully.)
Yes, there was a fighter escort in that specific battle.
makes a post that questions why Russians do crazy things
says I’m whining
Thank you for showing that you came here to be spiteful. Were you the one who flagged @iso_seppo123 post, too?

Zhmurki yes, also a stylish film, partly reveals the provincial city of the 90s. In particular, the shots of Nizhny Novgorod and its slopes with merchant houses will stick in your memory for a long time.
