Airborne forces day 2017

On August 2, 2017, in Moscow, on Vasilievsky Slope, a fair and a show consecrated to the Russian Airborne Forces Day took place.

Leader Aqua (manufacturer of “Kislovodskaya Celebnaya” mineral water) was a funder of this event. Together with the military, who organized a field kitchen and offered everyone to taste buckwheat porridge, more than 4500 bottles of mineral water were given. The day was very hot, and the sparkling water was just the right thing.

I would like to note that our defenders, soldiers-paratroopers, honorably represented our glorious army at this celebratory event. We were especially pleased with the youngest, the future defenders of the Fatherland, cadets of military schools. Children in military uniform who know what is the discipline, the comradeship, the honor. And young girls marching in columns in beautiful paratrooper uniform made us proud of our armed forces.
