A marine engineering team will appear in the Northern Fleet

A separate marine engineering team will appear in the Northern fleet. The decision to form a team has already been made, according "News" with reference to the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation decided to form a Separate Marine Engineering Brigade (OMIBr) as part of the Northern Fleet. The connection will be deployed as early as next year and will have the strength and resources to carry out a variety of tasks - from the construction and rehabilitation of infrastructure to the assault on fortified positions.

The brigade will be formed as part of a large-scale reform of the engineering forces. The unit will not only be part of the support, but will be considered an independent combat unit, which is entrusted not only with the construction of engineering and fortifications, but also with the conduct of assault operations.

According to available information, the staff of the brigade will include pontoon units, sapper units, specialists in engineering barriers, assault units of "engineering special forces", etc. The team will be equipped with appropriate engineering equipment.

As the Ministry of Defense explained, officers of the "engineering special forces" began to be trained at the Tyumen Higher Military Engineering School only in the 2014 year, and now the first lieutenants who have received specialized training are coming to the troops.

The assault units of the brigade at 100% will consist of contract soldiers equipped with suits of the maximum degree of protection OVR-3Sh.

According to the press service, the OVR-3Sh kit includes a protective suit for a sapper of the 6 class of protection with pockets for placing the ammunition, friend-or-foe, "alive-wounded, killed" sensors and a GLONASS / GPS module, a protective helmet, sapper machete, a set for knocking out doors, an assault ladder, hydraulic nippers, a circular saw, a hydraulic jack, combined scissors, a blasting machine and other means.

This is good news. Positive) The engineer himself is a builder.

But it’s a little funny for me, or I didn’t understand anything.
Guys, in the photo, should they also be able to build? And when should they do this, if all the time they spend on studies and training in the capture of "fortresses"? So this brigade will have a separate builder regiment and a separate assault regiment? Did I understand correctly? And all this under one command? I cannot understand this. Probably stupid.

Not necessarily.

These are different units. And the people there are with different backgrounds.

Well, a regiment is a unit, not a unit ... but - something like that, yes.

Could you read this?

I understand it. But under one command? The specifics and tasks of the units are completely different. It’s like connecting two regiments under one command: a tank regiment and a TU-95 regiment.

The specifics and tasks of the departments are completely different

Well, why not? In a tank division, for example, there is an air defense missile system to cover "from the air". So it is here: mainly engineering units, and a little special forces for everyone ...

I do not know. Those who plan - IMHO know better what tasks the brigade has and how and by whom to solve them. And I am not an "engineer" even once

This, as is now accepted, officials and journalists happily screeched, most importantly loudly, laudatory, and do not care, that is not the topic. I suppose it is most likely about technical support, for example, bridges, firing structures and shelters.

The news is certainly good. If you still understood what was at stake.

Do you understand? No?

Well, these guys can build equally well, and ... vice versa.

[Dikson]

With such equipment, they need exoskeletons .. And by the way - there’s not a word about arming the stormtroopers .. logically, they need flamethrowers and grenade launchers, a short-barreled one for fighting in rooms and something else elephant-like ..

[Golovan Jack]

and something else dumb ..

Wet walruses?

[Kerensky]

short-barreled for indoor combat and something else ivory ..

ASH-12?

[Jerk]

Ta-ak ... It is interesting how many hours sprats and then herrings will conquer first, that Russia will attack them again. From the sea)))

I think it’s better to coexist peacefully with neighbors, without war.

[Jerk]

If the neighbors are a madhouse, then it doesn’t matter how YOU are with him in the world

[Kerensky]

Something in the North is going to "gnaw". The denouement is approaching ... I hope that the team is created for a specific task and we will be the first.
I am not a conspiracy theorist, but the facts ....

[Dikson]

NATO bases in skerries and fjords ...

[Dikson]

In general, this is not very good news for fans of Iskander and lightning-fast preemptive missile strikes on enemy territory .. as well as for fans of nuclear strikes on the European theater of operations .. With the help of a crowbar, a saw and some kind of mother, it will be necessary to break the enemy’s defenses with pens .. But equipment of course the epic fighters ....

[Alien From]

The mattresses will look, and they will sculpt a new northern universal soldier ......))))

[Dikson]

By the way - aren't they going to return Alaska? ..))

[Operator]

"The assault subdivisions of the brigade will be 100% composed of contract servicemen, equipped with suits of the maximum protection degree OVR-3Sh ... 6th class", - class

[Alexey RA]

According to the press service, the OVR-3Sh kit includes a protective suit for a sapper of the 6 class of protection with pockets for placing the ammunition, friend-or-foe, "alive-wounded, killed" sensors and a GLONASS / GPS module, a protective helmet, sapper machete, a set for knocking out doors, an assault ladder, hydraulic nippers, a circular saw, a hydraulic jack, combined scissors, a blasting machine and other means.

If there is a blasting machine, a kit for knocking out doors, wire cutters, a saw and a jack is unlikely to be needed.

[Dikson]

Well, why? cut the wire with wire cutters, jack the gates to the territory, knock out the warehouse doors, lay a mine ... and blow everything up to Benin’s mother ... quietly leave against the background of the glow .. everything came in handy ..))

[dmmyak40]

Against the background of the glow, it is better not to be better - the goal is contrasting. We will leave by the yards ...

[Ros 56]

Probably Solntsepek will be armed to heat the vorogov.

[Doliva63]

Apparently, a solution based on Syrian experience?
Or in order to protect / capture the oil and gas fields in the Arctic?
In any case, what about me? I have nothing from gas. With Syria, too, if Che. I do not see the point.

[Prisoner]

I have the concept of "engineers" associated with mine clearance groups. The guys had a dangerous job. It seems that in the north, one of the "partners" is trying to get hooked on sabotage or sho?

[Dikson]

Well, for me personally, the concept of "assault" evokes quite a logical association with an attack on a fortified position of the enemy .. With pillboxes, a thorn, and other delights ... True, the picture does not appear very much, - how can I imagine these guys in such a heavy "cabbage", in winter uniforms, yes, with all this iron on themselves, plus personal weapons and ammunition ... And so they make a dash to the enemy's position, waddling from side to side in waist-deep snow ... again - under enemy fire, yes with hydraulic ladders and jacks ..

[Berkut154]

Everything new is well forgotten old) was on the SF OMIB MP MP .... .... reduced ... now restored (((

[TRex]

At the Black Sea Fleet, the 160 OMIB (city of Sevastopol) was completely reduced, now an engineer regiment of mixed composition (there are marine and land engineering units) has been deployed in the Crimea. The operational submission has also changed. In the Northern Fleet, it’s more of a scale — there is a unification of the sea and land components with a single command. So it turns OMIBr.
But I doubt something about the "construction of facilities" - this is a completely different direction (construction management of the fleet with its own military forces, etc.)
