I meant the music and the videoclip. Haven't seen something like this before and couldn't tell if it was a real propaganda vid or a parody.

Maybe that's cause you rightly pointed out that I don't have any military training. Also I don't speak Russian.

I would definitely say it's cheesey but I still like it. The singer is Alexander Buinov (Александр Николаевич Буйнов) who is very popular in Russia and the former Soviet Union.

This is from Wikipedia:

In the English-speaking world, he is known for his song "VDV – z neba privet" (VDV: Greetings from the Sky), which sings the praises of the Russian Airborne Troops, or VDV ("Vozdushno-desantnye voyska Rossii"; Russian script: Воздушно-десантные войска России, ВДВ; "Air-landing Forces"), a military branch of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. A number of parody videos have surfaced on the Internet with the apparent music of his VDV – s neba privet, but subtitled with English lyrics mocking Russia.

I personally have friends and family throughout the former Soviet Union including Ukraine and Russia.

Thanks for clarifying your position.
