[edit] Title

Is "Airborne Troops" an official English name? Troops, referring to individual soldiers and not organizations, is usually only used informally; in traditional military parlance a troop is a small cavalry formation, part of a squadron. "Airborne Forces" seems like a better translation of voyska to me. —Michael Z. 2006-10-29 06:55 Z

In the website of the Russian Ministry of Defense appears as Airborne Troops. See here.--Darz Mol 02:36, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Good enough. Thank you. —Michael Z. 2006-10-31 02:58 Z
