Pskov
Russian army airborne troopers undergo field training on
a fitness trail, similar to ones used by Western units.
The two kilometer trail is equipped with a variety of obstacles
to prepare troopers to operate in many situations: from
mountain tops to cities.
The climbing wall is one of the trail’s obstacles.
Troopers can learn to climb, to repel and to get beyond
acrophobia. A soldier must climb the 15 meter wall in silence
and then kill the enemy.
The kill house is a sort of labyrinth where targets hide
around corners. The troopers move in groups of three: two
attackers and one to cover the rear.
The soldiers must run the training course in less than two
hours.
