- On 15 May 1990, Soviet paratroopers and air force units staged a display of combat training and all-round military might at Kubinka Air Base near Moscow. The intended audience of their show of strength was Mr Tom King MP, the UK defence secretary who was on a four day visit to the USSR. As well as demonstrating hand-to-hand combat, the paratroopers took part in a large-scale jump training exercise. Mr King was also invited to inspect the cutting edge of Soviet military technology, from fighter and bomber aircraft to tanks, in a hangar on the base. The opening up of the USSR's military facilities to its historic adversary reflected the extent to which the Cold War had thawed by the spring of 1990.

Basically, they are just practicing taekwondo and karate tricks. Oriental martial arts were extremely popular in the 90's.

Comandant: In the event of stumbling across an enemy brick wall you are to demolish said brick wall with your face. Do you understand?!
Russian troops: Yes comrade!
How come they didn't teach me how to break bricks with my head back in school?
So campy. "Remember ladies, hold those flowers, because all ladies must be holding flowers."
