For the first time in history, Russian and American airborne forces will hold joint drills in the US. The anti-terror exercises scheduled for May 2012 will get off to a flying start with a tactical landing operation and “terrorist” camp raid.
“This is the first time such an event is being held,” Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Col. Aleksandr Kucherenko stressed, announcing the plan. “The Russian airborne will contribute a special task group that will exercise with US special service weapons.”
The drills were arranged by the Russian Airborne Command and a US military delegation in Moscow last December.

Now you know how I felt in 1991 and Desert Storm when we had our Allies, the Syrians, fighting on our flank!!!
Look, I know Tzar Putin is a real life Bond villian, and we shouldn’t trust him as far as we can throw him. But this still strikes me as very cool.
I actually think it IS pretty cool. And Buck, it was a serious mind-trip seeing the Syrians toolin’ around in their T-72s.
Forget about the drills …. the real action is going to happen in the bars.
