Paratroopers are soldiers trained in parachuting and generally operate as part of an airborne force.[1] Using paratroopers is called paradrop operations.
Paratroopers were used on a large scale for invasions during World War II. Since then, they are less used, due to advancement in AA (anti-aircraft) guns. Paratroopers are still hired and trained but more often, as in the Battle of Antonov Airport, helicopters carry them into combat.
