The experience of the counterterrorist operation in the North Caucasus revealed a number of problems in the training of units operating in the mountains. So, the personnel experienced great difficulties in orienteering in the mountains, did not always skillfully use the conditions of rough terrain for hidden detours and coverage, camouflage, shelter from observation and enemy fire. There was an acute shortage of mountain equipment, the lack of climbers instructors,
explained Shurygin.He noted that the special forces, well-prepared for action in the mountains, receive a tangible advantage.
Mountain training gives a completely different tactical possibilities, especially in terms of maneuver. For example, a detachment with a mountaineering training can bypass the ambush and stretch of militants along the ridge, and then attack them from the rear,
said the expert.He added that the special forces must learn to shoot in the mountains.
There is another ballistics, in the discharged air the bullets fly faster. Moreover, on the plain, the fighters are used to aiming at the center of the target, and in the mountains it is necessary to aim at the lower part. All this needs to be explained to the personnel, and then methodically work out,
