Art,

Thanks for these translations.

I have a question about a company that appears at army-level in sone of the OOBs on the guwar.mil.ru website.

The unit is "искровая рота" which Google Translate translates as "Spark company"

What kind of unit is this? Is it a wireless unit?

Thanks again for your help.

Waldo

[Art]

Yes, radio (or wireless) company.

[waldopepper]
