“THE BLUE DEVILS OF THE ALPS - This picture shows the Alpine Chasseurs on maneuvers in the Alps near the Italian frontier. These "Blue Devils," so called because their berets are blue, are as much at home on skis as are the British cavalry on horses, and ninety per cent. of their "route marches" and maneuvers are done on these seemingly unwieldy skis.”

News Release, Moscow, December 2021: Near Novosibirsk, an exercise with Special Purpose Units of the Central Military District (CMD) on the destruction of a mock enemy using the Ironiya optical-electronic complex was completed.

According to the plan of the event, the Special Purpose Unit received intelligence information about the place and time of the passage of a column of equipment with weapons, ammunition and food to provide the camp of a mock enemy.

The tasks of the exercise included working out the interaction of Special Purpose Units with attached fire support and technical intelligence units, as well as working out the order of action in a single reconnaissance and strike circuit.
