How do they describe in Russian the act of a soldier clicking his heels together, which was very common in the pre-revolutionary Russian army?
For example, how to say in Russian "I saw him click his heels together when the general approached him"?

Notice that this action is rather connected to a sort-of showing off or officers in tsar army, this is in a sense an outdated gesture.– Oleg LobachevAug 7, 2018 at 21:26

It's щёлкать/щёлкнуть каблуками.
Я увидел, как он щёлкнул каблуками, когда генерал приблизился (к нему).
