Red Dawn in Real Life

Red Dawn, the story of a Soviet invasion of the United States, begins with Russian airborne troops dropping into a small town in Colorado. Did you think that was a ridiculous idea? Stop laughing, because it's about to come true. The Russians are coming:

Russian soldiers will receive preparatory training in Colorado’s Fort Carson with the US weaponry and equipment they are to use during the operation. The drills include parachuting, operation planning, reconnaissance, assault operations and evacuations by helicopter.

“According to the exercise scenario, soldiers of the two countries will hold a tactical airborne operation, including reconnaissance of an imaginary terrorists' camp and a raid,” Colonel Kucherenko revealed.
