It’s more tense really then the photos show....I’m reading that half the base had surrendered before the other half opted to march and attempt to retake the base “peacefully”.
Have to say this Commanders move took a lot of nerve...trigger happy men have started many outbreaks over the years....not to mention the risk of doing this...after all they were dealing with the Russian Army....
Huffington Post just requesting to run the photos from tweeter...but we had them as it’s happening!

NAh...I was on twitter as the soldiers began their march...they meant business...half the base had surrendered but this Commander lead his men to this confrontation...
Not sure how this is going to go but a smart move for commander to have his men break rank and smoke if they want...tensions high enough...
