Go-Pro Tank Free Fall: Russia air-drops BMD-2 infantry fighting vehicles

Russian Airborne troops successfully completed the air-drop of two BMD-2 infantry fighting vehicles on to Nikinci Proving Ground in Serbia on Sunday. The drill formed part of preparations for the joint Serbia-Russia tactical 'anti-terrorist' SREM-2014 exercises. The pair of BMD-2s were dropped from an Ilyushin Il-76 multi-purpose four-engine strategic airlifter, with SREM-2014 set to begin on Friday. The SREM-2014 manoeuvres will involve live-firing exercises and the air-drop of both troops and combat vehicles. It follows an agreement on military and technical cooperation between Serbia and Russia signed in November 2013.
