VDV

The Soviet Airborne Forces or VDV (from Vozdushno-desantnye voyska SSSR, Russian: Воздушно-десантные войска СССР, ВДВ) was a separate troops branch of the Soviet Armed Forces, and the world's largest airborne force.
==Description==
VDV Paratroopers were famous thanks to their uniform, as they wore sky-blue berets and blue-striped telnyashka shirts. They were deployed several times during the Cold War, in Czechoslovakia and Afghanistan, but their biggest deployment took place during the Third World War, when they were paradropped all across the world, including the United Kingdom, the countrysides of which were overran by VDV paratroopers after several months.
This decision almost drained the Soviet Airborne Forces entirely of it's manpower, but this was not the end for them - in September 1990, all that was remaining of the VDV was ordered to invade the Mauritanian airspace in order to stop Nicolas Alceste, a NATO agent from recieving important intel from Doctor Mussahad; all the remaining VDV paratroopers, alongside Red Juggernauts and a thuggish Red Army infantryman were paradropped in the Mauritanian capital of Nouakchott, engaging in a shootout against Nicolas, and the local police and armed forces. This was the end of the VDV, as all the remaining paratroopers were killed in action or incarcerated by the Mauritanian armed forces.
