An unusual beauty contest was held in the Yaroslavl region. The Russian army chose beauties in uniform. As Marina Ermachenkova found out, appearance is not the main criterion when choosing a winner, more important is the ability to shoot accurately.
Mascara, eye shadow and lipstick are literally war paint. The tricolor on the face in the color of the form only sets off the color of the eyes. The girls gather at the Makeup for Camouflage contest as if they were on a date.
The song helps to walk in formation. But it is not for a catchphrase either. This is one of ten disciplines.
"Skiing, cooking, shooting range, army biathlon and a creative competition", - lists the tests of the deputy head of the training center for work with personnel Yevgeny Chistikin.
According to legend, a radiogram comes - the enemy is planning to attack and for a start blows dust, that is, gases, directly into the painted eyes. Chemical protection suit, gas mask and submachine gun. Gathering in a hurry and without a mirror is a test for any woman. Ahead of 300 meters uphill on command. From the hip! Smoke, grenade explosions and shots. But ladies in camouflage even fall gracefully. You have to give 100%, but manage not to get tired. The next step is shooting ranges. It is necessary to stand, lie down and hit the targets from the knee. For each miss - penalty seconds. Cold and wind are not good for girls. But they do not give up, but the makeup capitulated for many.
“Makeup that has dripped onto camouflage is not a hindrance to personal records,” laughs serviceman Irina Polyakova.
The competition among girls from the missile forces is being held for the fourth time. In parts across the country, selection is underway. The most accurate, strong and dexterous go to the final. In total, 40 girls were selected who are fluent in not only firearms, but also cold weapons. Then a battle with knives, spoons and forks. The battlefield is a soldier's canteen. Contestants need to prepare three dishes from the minimum amount of food. Someone has saved a secret weapon - the "Officer's Tear" salad. Following the results of the competition, the winning team will go on a journey along the Golden Ring.
