Laos Special Forces in Russia!

Russia: Laos Special Forces Training in the Kommadam Military Academy! (6.6.2026)

Laos is a small country in South-East Asia that was one of the most bombed country in history as the the US believed that the North Vietnamese (and Vietcong) were receiving supplies via the Ho Chi Minh Trail – from China and the USSR. This satuation bombing was worse than any bombing experienced during WWII. The Laotian people are Buddhist and only became free (after a Socialist Revolution) in 1975 after the US Forces were defeated and withdrew from Vietnam (technically, the US left in 1973 – but the US-controlled puppet “Army of the Republic of Vietnam” (ARVN) – did not surrender until 1975).
