Well, the new 2016 has already come to Russia! Happy New Year, all the Russians and Russian speaking people! Happy New Year all USMB members and guests!

Traditionally, a few minutes before the end of the year, President Vladimir Putin addresses the Russian nation:

"We are grateful to all those who are always on their post, day and night, weekdays and holidays. Today, I would like to extend special greetings to those of our service members who are fighting international terrorism, defending Russia’s national interests at distant frontiers, showing their willpower, determination and staunchness. Though, these are the qualities we need all the time, whatever we are doing.

In the outgoing year of 2015, we marked the 70th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. Our history, the experience of our parents and grandparents, their unity in times of trouble and their willpower shall always serve as an example for us. They have helped and will help us to meet all current challenges with dignity.

Friends, on this New Year’s night, we feel especially strongly just how much our near and dear ones mean to us. It is so important for all to be healthy and everything to be fine. For our parents to be surrounded by love and care, so that all the good things they have ever taught us come back to them.

Let our children grow smart and active, while love and responsiveness, kind-heartedness and compassion support us in our everyday chores.

There are a few seconds left before the New Year. Let us wish each other success and happiness.

Let us thank each other for understanding and support, for sympathy and responsiveness we give each other.

And let us raise a toast to the prosperity and wellbeing of Russia!Happy New year to you! Happy 2016!"

Personnel at the Russian airbase in Syria celebrated the New Year while carrying on their nighttime flying missions. January 2016 sees the Russian military operation against the terrorists of Islamic State enter its fourth month.

At midnight Moscow time, the servicemen at the Khmeimim airbase in Latakia saw in the New Year, one hour ahead of local time in Syria.

Some of the air crews were absent from the celebration as sorties continued all night long.

However, many marines, plane mechanics and other servicemen not involved in missions gathered in front of a giant screen to listen to the traditional address to the nation of the Russian president next to a 15-meter-tall New Year’s tree brought to the base from Russia.

A serviceman dressed up as Father Frost wished all those present to“finish off the terrorism in Syria soon and get back to Russia’s birches and firs from palm trees.”

Every serviceman received New Year's gifts from the Defense Ministry, including a memorable “Destroy terrorism” T-shirt depicting a Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jet.

Over the last three months, bombers and jet fighters taking off from the Khmeimim airbase in Latakia have conducted well over 5,200 missions, eliminating thousands of terrorist targets.
