Five Kazakh paratroopers awarded «Valor and Skill» badge

Five Kazakh paratroopers were awarded the «Valor and Skill» badge. They received this honor based on the results of annual professional tests in Belarus. The domestic servicemen fulfilled combat training standards, which included shooting, providing first aid, engineering, tactics, topography, communication, and other disciplines. The soldiers also had to parachute from a helicopter at a height of 600 meters, swim with equipment, and complete a 30-kilometer march. Out of approximately 100 participants, around 30 made it to the final stage, with five Kazakh servicemen among them.

«The final stage proved to be quite challenging. Our servicemen demonstrated remarkable resilience and effort. Engaging in three rounds of hand-to-hand combat with your athletes was no easy feat. Nonetheless, they made every effort and performed well. We will participate every year, striving to achieve even greater results,» said Marat Agambayev, Head of Physical Training and Sports for the Kazakh Air Assault Forces.
