Here are pictures from the kids military camp in Stavropol, Russia. About 40 children between 12 to 17 years old, go through a training in this military camp, which is organized by the former Russian servicemen who teach the kids the basics of martial arts and weaponry. As you’ll see from the pictures, it’s very far from your stereotypical idea of a kids summer camp…
We already have a video about the Speznaz secret fighting techniques here, now here is an interesting gallery from Speznaz training camp…
Well as you can see from this story, one drunk Russian tank driver decided to go Vodka shopping and hit someone’s house in the process. The best part is that a spokeperson for the army had concluded that there is no way their guy could have been drunk since he was performing a training mission, but perhaps he should tell that to the guy whose house is missing a wall now…
Here is the story in American news…
Here is the official leaked Russian video that shows the crash as well as comentary by a woman who sold this solider Vodka, and the Military official who tries to argue that icy roads and not the drunk driver had caused the accident…
Interesting gallery of the girls who serve in the Russian Army, too bad they don’t specify who actually won the beauty contest, that’s why you’ll have to pick the winner for yourself…
Here are the Pictures and a video of different Soviet Union Parades. For the number of years now, the most you could see during the anual May 9th Victory parade were the fighter jets flying over the Red Square. Interestingly enough for this year’s Victory parade, sources in the Russian Ministry of defense say they plan to do a full military display with artillery pieces as well as intercontinental missiles (Lenta.ru), i guess we’ll have to wait and see…

The Battle of Stalingrad was a battle between Germany and its allies (Italy, Romania, Hungary) and the Soviet Union for the Soviet city of Stalingrad (today known as Volgograd) that took place between July 17, 1942 and February 2, 1943 as part of World War II. It is often considered the turning point of World War II in the European Theater and was arguably the bloodiest battle in human history, with combined casualties estimated above 1.5 million. The battle was marked by brutality and disregard for military and civilian casualties on both sides. The battle is taken to include the German siege of Stalingrad, the battle inside the city, and the Soviet counter-offensive which eventually trapped and destroyed the German Sixth Army and other Axis forces around the city.
It has been the 65th anniversary since the battle took place three days ago, here is the gallery dedicated to all of those who participated and in many cases gave up their lives defending and fighting for Stalingrad building by building, this is as real as it gets… (I didn’t include pictures of hundreds of fallen soldiers on the streets of Stalingrad on purpose, i hope you understand why)
This might looks like an average military family to you, well look below to see why it really isn’t…
On the left you see a guy right before he was recruited into the Russian army, and on the right you see the same guy five months after he joined.

It might be fake, but it sure does look real…
