Russia is building up its Ground Forces grouping in the Kaliningrad region

80

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation plans to form a motorized rifle division in 2021, which will be deployed in the Kaliningrad region. This means that Russia is building up its ground forces in the Kaliningrad region.

This information was shared with the journalists of the newspaper "News" sources in the RF Ministry of Defense.



They reported that the command has already begun to reorganize the 79th separate motorized rifle brigade, which is currently the largest combined arms formation in the Kaliningrad region. On the basis of this brigade, a regiment will be formed, which will become part of the new motorized rifle division and will be located in Sovetsk.

In addition to this regiment, the division will include several more units, one of which is likely to be the 7th separate motorized rifle regiment stationed in Kaliningrad.

Already in September, units of the new military formation will take part in the West-2021 exercises.

The strengthening of the land grouping in the region, according to experts, is caused by the fact that recently large strike groups of the North Atlantic Alliance, located in Poland and Lithuania, have been drawn to the borders of the region.

At the moment, the tasks of defending the exclave are assigned to the 11th Army Corps, which consists of an artillery brigade, a tank regiment, as well as a motorized rifle regiment and a brigade.

        They sat in silence, did not smell the whole world about the Russian threat, and there were no Russian groups. They got through, waited, let them continue in the same spirit, and maybe they will come to their senses, although the disease is incurable.

      By the way.
      Lithuania and Poland with their own hands create an excuse for Russia to obtain a corridor along the entire border between Lithuania and Belarus, as well as return the entire Baltic Sea coast from the borders of the Kaliningrad region to Germany.

          It’s right, it’s right, but it’s somehow funny, or something: about 10 years ago, they shouted “right” in the same way when the divisions were destroyed, and now they are happy that they are being restored. You can't understand Russia with your mind. (Not mine, if anything)

      Only a real fist is able to stop all this screeching and ranting about plans to revise the post-war status of Kaliningrad. Still, Belarus did not show off, but allowed to place on its territory the connections and means offered by Russia ... after all, in words, an ally.

It is necessary to clearly understand that they will defend themselves from the "partners" not only from Kaliningrad, but also attack from the rest of Russia, as well as from the sea. The outcome of the battle will be decided by the weapon - whoever has the best one has the advantage.

              Maybe you're right.
              I myself was the "jacket" of the engineering troops.

        In Chechnya, bearded men were wrapped in polyethylene,
        so as not to "light up" from helicopters.
        Technology now allows disposable drones to fly
        between trees, and catch radiation.
        Everything changes. Nearly. I didn't mean the president. Rock.

      Tanks and cannons cannot be riveted forever.
      They need to be replaced with new samples,
      selling old ones to third countries,
      or use as directed.
      Rumbles, definitely.
      In the US, the arms business is urgent.
      Who drove to Starcraft remembers - made units,
      drive them towards the enemy.
      If they die, they will cripple the mining infrastructure.
      And so, until the resource is depleted.
      One unit - infantry survivor, then ran and
      finished off the buildings, fortunately all died.
      Sieg is a victory.

    There is not enough space for the troops. It's time to expand the area. But the main thing is to attach. Don't dig a tunnel.

    They reported that the command has already begun to reorganize the 79th separate motorized rifle brigade, which is currently the largest combined arms formation in the Kaliningrad region.

    Well, finally, they began to get rid of these Serdyukov freaks, who were not suitable for a female genital organ or for the Red Army. A reasonable measure, the more it will be, the now real full-fledged divisional exercises to work out in order to achieve the coherence of all parts of the formation. The climate there is excellent, it is much easier to study this way than somewhere in the central part of Russia. And the Soviet infrastructure for the army was very good there - practically everything is there, starting with airfields, highways, structures and ending with seaports.

    Combined arms units on the territory of the Kaliningrad region and Crimea are part of the army corps of the coastal forces of the Baltic and Black Sea fleets, respectively. They are not part of the Ground Forces. The same can be said about the combined arms units on the territory of the Northern Fleet. The difference is that the Baltic Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet are subordinate to the command of the Western Military District and the Southern Military District, and the Northern Fleet itself is equated to the district. That is, in essence, these are, of course, ground forces, but not as part of the Ground Forces as a type of Armed Forces. Therefore, when we write about the number of ground forces, it is always worth remembering that the ground components of our armed forces and the ground forces are not the same thing. Yes, and the Airborne Forces, which in other countries belong to the ground forces, do not obey them in our country and are not taken into account when determining the number of ground forces.

    The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation plans to form a motorized rifle division in 2021, which will be deployed in the Kaliningrad region. This means that Russia is building up its ground forces in the Kaliningrad region.

    What is the build-up? It seems to me that the MSD will be formed on the basis of the MSBr., TP, MSP., While the MSBr. will be reduced to SMEs. what is the build-up?
    I would not be surprised if the only ABR in the Kaliningrad defensive region. will be reduced to AP, which will also enter this MSD ...
    I hoped that in the course of Serdyukov's "reforms", only brigades would be included in the RF Armed Forces - separate and part of divisions, and we again build a mobilization army, where even the MSD have a different combat composition ...
