the speech of normal sequestration in the airborne, of course, is not. The number of Russian airborne infantry will remain in the range of 45 thousand people. However, in recent years, due to increased tasks of the airborne troops and the arrival in their brigades and divisions of high-tech military equipment, generals have stepped up recruitment in the ranks of the contractors. This just explains the lowering of the level of the landing call.
According to the chief of the organizational-mobilization Department of the headquarters of the airborne troops of Dmitry Satarov, the demand for conscripts this spring and summer will be limited to 6 thousand guys. But about half of them will go to army with the diploma of the University and the sports category.
These recruits will join all the units of the Russian airborne infantry with the exception of the 31st separate airborne assault brigade in Ulyanovsk – it is assembled by military professionals. It is also known that in the 76-th Pskov airborne division would send 900 recruits. And in the 106th Tula – 300 young soldiers.
