The third more

The Southern Strategic Command Command had the right to temporarily command the 76th Guards Air Division, and Troshev immediately ordered the commander of the 76th Air Division to send paratroopers to paratroopers, occupy the three military airfields that had been blown up once, Vagani, Marneuli and Kopinatli, rebuild the runway, and then join forces with the naval infantry of the landing operation and the armored units advancing in South Ossetia to open up a springboard for the encirclement of Tbilisi.

This time, the operation was codenamed Justice from Heaven.

With the support of the Ministry of Defense, the commander of the Soviet Airborne Forces, Shpark, carried out the first full-crew airdrop test of paratrooper combat vehicles in human history with the support of the Ministry of Defense as early as 1996. It was also conducted during a regimental tactical airborne exercise conducted by the 76th Airborne Division of the Russian Army, which took place in Pskov, and the test was carried out by seven officers and men of a parachute regiment belonging to the division, and the airdrop aircraft was an Il-76 transport aircraft.

The paratrooper combat vehicle was a very successful test of a manned airdrop. It also gave Yanayev a new idea, in order to make the paratrooper infantry tank airdrop plan more mature and develop on the battlefield, so Trovav ordered a paratrooper infantry tank airdrop operation plan, and Shpak also very much supported the order of the Southern Joint Strategic Command.

The Il-76 transport plane took off from the airfield and was loaded with BMP3 paratrooper infantry vehicles that were to be airdropped directly into Georgia. At the same time, the Su-34 bomber formation will carry out the first clearance of the three military airfields, and then the paratrooper unit will carry out the airborne mission.

The latest Su-35 fighter squadron in service covered the flight of three Il-76 transport aircraft in the direction of the airfield of the Georgian Air Force, and their task was to protect the safety of the airborne paratroopers and cover their successful arrival over the airfield.

In the sealed Il-76 cabin, paratroopers of the 76 Aviation Division are sitting in their seats preparing for a large-scale landing operation, which is also the first time they have carried out such an airborne mission since the nineties. Some of the recruits, who still had no actual combat experience, were stomping their feet nervously at this time.

The veteran patted him on the shoulder, and because of the roar in the cabin, he had to shout in his ear, "It's okay, it's just a little combat training." ”

"Will we be hit by ground anti-aircraft fire?" The recruit asked nervously.

"No, because these Georgian rebels are all bastards." The veteran laughed.

The BMD-3 infantry tank is ready, and the Il-76 will drop the infantry tank with the crew to three airfields at medium and high altitudes, and a total of six Il-76 transport aircraft with two battalions of airborne troops will occupy the Georgian base.

After the first round of cruise missile strikes, there are almost no fighters left at the three airports of Vagani, Marnieul and Kopinatli, but as a precaution, the Su-35 will still carry out a new round of bombing of the remaining targets at the airport. However, Troshev overestimated the Georgian rebels. After being attacked from the air and paralyzing all air defenses deployed at the airfield, the rebels ordered all their troops to be evacuated from the airfield and abandon the fighters involved.

According to Minashvili's point of view, when there is no air defense, the remaining forces are no longer able to gain air supremacy, rather than being consumed by the Soviet Air Force, it is better to give up directly, withdraw the remaining air force, and garrison Tbilisi, anyway, he confidently believes that the Tbilisi air defense fire network will not allow the Soviet Air Force to break through.

A red light flashed in the gloomy cabin, signaling that the paratroopers were ready to make the drop. Everyone stood up, prepared their parachutes, and leaped from the sky.

The Su-35 squadron did not wait for the opposing fighters, and the Georgian rebels had long abandoned the airfield. The remaining fighters that have not yet been destroyed are like lone targets, waiting for the attack of the Su-35 squadron.

"It's really a stress-free operation, there is not even a fighter plane that has taken off urgently, it seems that they have completely abandoned here." The Su-35 driver felt a little sorry for the brutality of the Georgian rebels, and was glad that he did not encounter many enemies along the way. He pressed the launch button, and the four Su-35 fighters tilted their fire towards the remaining fighters on the airfield, and then the entire airfield erupted in dazzling flames.

When the KAB-500 guided bomb completely destroyed the fighter jets that stayed on the airfield, there were no intact buildings left in the entire airfield except for charred scrap iron sheets. Including the hangar and conning tower were also bombed into ruins by the Su-35 squadron.

"Very well, comrades, prepare to be airborne." After the commander made contact with the driver, the two rear hatches of the Il-76 slowly opened, and the crew immediately got inside the BMD-3 infantry tank, prepared for the first real combat jump of their lives.

The turbulent air flow from high above poured into the cabin, everyone stood aside, ready to parachute, the fixtures of the BMD-3 infantry vehicle had been unlocked, and the infantry vehicle slowly slid out of the cabin and jumped down in the air. The driver of the infantry tank could see that the Il-76 transport plane was getting farther and farther away from him, and the entire infantry tank was rapidly descending. When the BMD-3 infantry vehicle rushed out of the cockpit for 3 seconds, the PBS-950 parachute system began to operate, and the 12 white parachutes opened one after another, and the BMD-3 infantry vehicle was already in a horizontal state and slowly descending.

At this time, six infantry vehicles had been dropped from the cabin of the Il-76, and then the soldiers of the Airborne Forces jumped down one after another, and countless white parachutes bloomed over the entire airfield, like dandelions falling from the sky. Not only the Georgian rebels, but even the West would have been shocked by the Soviet Union's terrible airborne capabilities. The parachutes that spread all over the sky made even the troops on the ground despair.

With a loud sound, the crew made a shocking contact with the ground. After the BMD-3 paratrooper fighting vehicle landed on flat ground, the parachute automatically unhooked. The BMD-3 infantry vehicle let out an angry roar and kicked up a choking puff of black smoke in the tail, as if announcing the beginning of the war.

Vagani, Marnieuli and Kopinatli, three airfields attacked at the same time.

The landed troops quickly gathered on either side of the BM-3 infantry vehicle, and the infantry and tanks will work together to neutralize all the enemies in front of them!

The combat vehicles were advancing, and the paratroopers, who had landed in all directions, began to gather in the direction of the airfield.

After the new mode of operation of the Celestial Air Force and the Armored Forces, it is time to show them how powerful the Soviet paratroopers are! (To be continued.) )
