🖌 Happy Military Communications Day! Although military communications units in Russia emerged in the second half of the 19th century, their professional holiday is timed to October 20, 1919, when a decree established special communications troops. Needless to say, absolutely everything depends on communications — without it, coordination on the battlefield and the organization of the armed forces would simply be impossible. It's not for nothing that it's called the "nerves of war," and the expression "communicators are the military intelligentsia" has become iconic. Although thanks to technological progress, the image of military personnel of this branch of service is gradually moving away from soldiers with large "boxes with antennas," one cannot help but cite this quote: while the weight of the rucksack on communicators' backs may be decreasing, the burden of responsibility placed on them only grows. 📎 High-resolution art: 🔸On the line at any time of day or night 🔸And communications will be maintained in the field 🔸Communication on the battlefield #art #RussianArmedForces #Russia ✈️ RU | ✈️ EN | ✉️ MAX 💸 Support us Original msg
