Field - Soldier Academy
The title of this note, the veterans of the army know, was a slogan that flaunted on the parade ground of a military unit in all the garrisons "indestructible and legendary." And also on its landfills. Then there were times when it was only possible to dream about exercises in the field or at sea. It lacked neither money, nor fuel, nor the residual amount of serviceable and combat-ready equipment. And soon the military maneuvers were replaced by the real war - in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, in Transnistria, Tajikistan, Chechnya, Dagestan, Ingushetia. Just do not list.
Today, the army and the navy, despite ongoing antiterrorist operations, still have the opportunity to learn military science at ranges, shooting ranges, in the sky, in the seas and oceans. Here are just a small list of tactical exercises last week. Tactical exercises with the landing of assault and military equipment in the Ivanovo, Kostroma and Yaroslavl regions had hardly ended, as similar exercises of the 76 Airborne Division continued in the Pskov Region. There, 76 soldiers and officers and 1300 vehicles, including five BMD-17, were parachuted from the Il-2 military transport aircraft. Almost on the same days, tactical exercises were held with the landing of a naval assault party on the coast of the Khmelevka test site in the Kaliningrad region, and also the Russian-Mongolian military exercises “Darkhan-3” in Buryatia. At the Kapustin Yar training ground near Astrakhan, military shooting of air defense soldiers of motorized rifle and anti-aircraft brigades of the Central Military District, or, as it is also called, the Operational-Strategic Command (USC) Center, took place. The Su-24 bomber crews of the Khurbin airbase of the Far Eastern Association of the Air Force and Air Defense successfully completed a practical refueling in the air, and the anti-terrorist exercises of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) began in Kazakhstan, General of the Army Nikolai Maakarov is present at them. . Off the coast of the island of Sicily, completed bilateral Russian-Italian naval exercises "Ionieks-2010".
And some right-wing politicians continue to say that nothing changes in the army. Alas them.
