The Airborne Troops are the reserve of the President of the Russian Federation. They are able to (both independently or as a part of the ground troops) manage the missions both in a large-scale war or a local conflict.
VDV are completely airmobile and independent in fighting. In case of emergency they can land by parachutes in the regions which are unavailable for other types of troops.
The Airborne Troops are intended to envelop the enemy in the air and fight in his rear.
In peacetime the functions of the troops include the conduction of peacekeeping operations to maintain peace in unstable regions in accordance with the international obligations.
The Airborne troops are among the best trained military units of the Russian Army.
