The female battalion. Episode 3

25:45

This episode begins with a close combat class - one of the compulsory subjects of all paratroopers. For most of our heroines - it is a difficult and fun class. They're little girls and they find it difficult to tune into the fight. Some girls are better fighters than others: there is earnest Katya, who had engaged in Taekwondo even before the institute and there is a fragile and cocky boxer Zhenya. They find their friends’ casual attitude insulting. On the other hand, first and foremost, the commanders do not see fighters but military managers in them. With our heroines we visit the lesson called managing forces during the time of peace, and we see what a tough test awaits them in the near future.
