Rise of Nationality is a mod created to show you guys the conflict in Afghanistan between the Soviets and the Afghans, the conflict in Chechnya between the Russians and the Chechens and the conflict in the Balkan in the Yugoslav State and maybe educate you guys in what was going on there.. But also a new addition is the current wars in the middle east, like the Syrian Civil War, Yemeni Civil War, Libyan Civil War, Iraqi Civil War and some in Africa. The thing we want this mod to be focused on is realism and historical events. We researched our intel which we are using by reading loads of stories and articles of the war written by both sides. Also, we will not tolerate any political opinion posted on our forums or mods because this will be punished by a straight ban.

Description

The Russian Airborne Troops or VDV (from "Vozdushno-desantnye voyska Rossii", Russian: Воздушно-десантные войска России, ВДВ; Air-landing Forces) is a military branch of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. First formed before World War II, the force undertook two significant airborne operations and a number of smaller jumps during the war and for many years after 1945 was the largest airborne force in the world.[4] The force was split after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, losing divisions to Belarus and Ukraine, and has been reduced in size.

Russian airborne forces have traditionally worn a blue beret and blue-striped telnyashka and are called "desant" (Russian: Десант) from the French "Descente".[5]
