The Russian Ministry of Defense handed over the third batch of small arms to the CAR military

Russia continues to supply arms to the Central African Republic. Another batch of rifle weapons arrived at Bangui airport.

The Russian Ministry of Defense supplied the CAR government troops with a third batch of small arms, which included Kalashnikov assault rifles, light machine guns and grenade launchers, sniper rifles, pistols, grenades and ammunition. It is noted that this is the largest batch of weapons transferred to the military of the Central African Republic, it included 5 thousand AK assault rifles, not counting the rest of the weapons.

As stated by the Russian ambassador to Bangui Vladimir Titorenko, whose words are quoted RIA News, the transfer of weapons took place at Bangui airport in the presence of the CAR president and defense minister. Russia was represented by Major General Oleg Polguyev.

All weapons are transferred free of charge, before that two batches of small arms and 20 BRDM-2 were delivered to the country. No UN Security Council permission is required for the transfer of small arms.

In the fall of 2018, it was reported that the Russian Ministry of Defense would create on the territory of the Central African Republic its representative office at the Ministry of National Defense of the country, whose tasks would include resolving issues of military and military-technical cooperation, training Russian specialists of the CAR military in the operation, repair and use of equipment and weapons supplied to it as well as the restoration of the army of the republic. There is a tactical training center in the CAR, where Russian instructors train local military personnel. The center operates in the city of Berengo.

In December 2020, the Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed the information about sending 300 military instructors to the CAR to train the republic's government army. Today, there are about 500 Russian military instructors in the country, and it is not planned to increase their number yet.

Are Mosin rifles included in the delivery?

[major071]

In this, in my opinion, not, but the second batch included, only not rifles, but Mosin carbines of the 1944 model with a fixed bayonet. How much was delivered was not reported, but the delivery of carbines was confirmed by the Russian ambassador to the CAR. It was in October 2019.

Fall away! Thanks for the video! Even before the appearance of swearing words, it was clear who was in command of these cannibals.

This is not in the CAR, but in Algeria.

It seems like when this video first appeared, there was information that it was in Sudan. In this case, Negroes and Arabic are quite a combination.

Yes, it's true Sudan, but 3 years ago.

CAR threw us under Brezhnev?
Then it was generally the Empire.

[Poetry]

Then only the lazy one did not throw us. They pretended to be friends, like they embarked on the social path of development, and then they say: we have changed our minds. Specifically, I can't say about the CAR, but many had a ride.

[Eldorado]

Known thing.
They also threw the Western world. All African dictators have maneuvered and continue to maneuver between West and East.

Here with ..! Well done. I saw a TV program about the CAR just, ours prepared them well. At least visually.

Well, if not the Central African Republic, then name specifically someone else who turned from the path of socialism? And before the USSR threw them.

[Poetry]

Egypt. This is not aiming right away, offhand.

Quote: Poetiszaugla

Egypt. This is not aiming right away, offhand.

One can agree, but with a proviso - Egypt, or rather, its authorities did not pretend, but really followed a socialist path, albeit a specific one. And the change of Nasser to Sadat did not lead to an immediate "we changed our minds." And the privatization of the Suez Canal did not happen. So the example is not very good, although it counts for "offhand" with reservations.
But you said:

Then we only lazy did not throw. They pretended to be friends, like they embarked on the social path of development, and then they say: we have changed our minds. I can't say specifically about the CAR, but many rolled

So I would like a list of many who are not lazy. Or is it not working?

- all by. Morocco is generally a monarchy. The rest of the countries on your list abandoned socialism after 1991. And they refused de jure. In fact, Western TNCs simply let in.

[Horst78]

It can be cheaper to hand over than to store and dispose of. Worldwide practice. Or in the USA they have forgotten how to count money.

[ssergey1978]

What they were given to sell is most likely difficult, but it is expensive to store. Most likely these are weapons of the 60-70s.

[isv000]

So it could have been sent to Donbass. We, on a blue eye, sold high-precision weapons to the Judas for $ 780 lam ...

Don't tell me ... the USSR bought a lot of things there, for the same weapon, etc.
Someone is still remembered from the libertarian government in the 90s. In his memoirs he wrote that it was necessary to raise the USSR treaties, we bought half of Africa there, deposits of land, etc. But the power there is constantly changing .. Perhaps this weapon goes just to those who will give us access to property, the times of the USSR Or compensation from those who rob everything there, after us ..
In Angola there is definitely a landing site for our "Burans" .. Well, it was planned, it was very convenient, because they wanted to put them into production, but ..
So Brezhnev, knowingly kissed, it was not so simple there .. The paper on the property is stored securely and no matter what kind of power is there ..

[Santa Fe]

In Angola there is definitely a landing site for our "Burans" .. Well, it was planned, it was very convenient, because they wanted to put them into production

Exactly? Sure? For landing Buranov

Not in Angola, but in Somalia (Berbera, runway 05/23, once the longest on the African continent, 4140 m)

It was built in the mid-70s for the needs of strategic aviation and military aviation.

It was never used for its intended purpose - in 1977, Somalia broke off relations with the USSR and forced our military to leave, giving 48 hours to collect

Subsequently, the Berbera airport runway was included by NASA in the list of Space Shuttle emergency landing sites.

That's the whole story, without ugrykats and fairy tales

Well, not really. Russia may not get anything, but individual citizens of the Russian Federation, very much yes. Russia transfers weapons and bears the cost of instructors, and individual citizens will benefit from the concessions. The most common monetization of power.

[Ros 56]

Well, now they can be sent to the Donbass as "instructors", the Bandera Papuans can be chased, and they can gain experience.

[isv000]

For practice ...

[tralflot1832]

CAR well, we got in, the henpecked Macron's estate. What you need to know, Emperor Bokassa, gold and diamonds. Not a bad gesheft for Kalashnikov's products.

Do not understand. What gesheft? Explain what exactly Russia received from the CAR? The article stated that Russian aid is free.

[tralflot1832]

Only cheese in a mousetrap is free, some of the deposits are controlled by the militants. The Central African forces will eventually take control of them and Russian business will come, on an industrial scale.

[patriot line]

Russia is completely free for political reasons, it will not get anything, what kind of Russian business will come? What can a weak country control? The reason for the free distribution under the guise of solving super important geopolitical issues may also be in the fact that blacks will sell these weapons to third parties and share them. By the way, they give a good weapon, albeit an old one, in contrast to the same AK of modern production, the quality of which is disgusting. By the way, China does not give anything to anyone for free, only secured loans, and China has an incomparably greater influence in Africa.

[Split]

20 BRDM-2. No UN Security Council permission is required for the transfer of small arms.

When did the brdm become small arms? 12,7 seems to be a small rifle, tk. artillery is considered to be more than 20mm ... but shoot either single or at least a machine. Eh, terminology

[Blackmokona]

Nothing when you need it and the RSZO tanks will become a rifleman

[Split]

Although, if you think about it, there is a forehead emnip 15mm + -, i.e. she BZT does not hold her own caliber (although there is steel armor, again emnip, googling "reluctantly"). Well, yes, with a stretch, a mechanized machine gun turns out This is what the technique "got" to (c) There are self-propelled artillery installations, and there are self-propelled machine-gun installations

[abrakadabre]

Nothing when you need it and the RSZO tanks will become a rifleman

Well, does the crew have personal weapons? - there is. Definitely a shooter.

[Poetry]

In my opinion, there is Vladimirov, KPVT 14,5. But that's not the point. Anyway, up to 20 mm. Not artillery.

[voyaka uh]

"today there are about 500 Russian military instructors in the country" ////

Solid, a whole battalion of instructors.
Surely, the army of the Central African Republic turned into one
of the strongest on the continent.

For 2019, the ground forces number about 7000. One infantry battalion was formed [20

As I understand it, the only battalion is one of the instructors.

In 2012, Chad's army numbered approximately 25000. "
Here National Guard of Chad in 2011 there were from 5000 to 7000 bayonets ...
Chad Air Force about 350 people (how many pilots?)
Total combined - Ground Forces, National Guard, Air Force for 2019 30350 bayonets.
Nothing has been written about the Navy ... a joke

There are two PMCs of this billionaire chef grazing there. Their transport planes, their weapons. Their mercenaries are everywhere.

... before that, two shipments of small arms were delivered to the country and 20 BRDM-2.

How does it work?

[sabakina]

What exactly?

[Yves762]

"Mess" is not "small arms".
...
Yes, I know that the UN resolutions say about

..., non-combat military vehicles and military vehicles equipped with weapons of a caliber not exceeding 14,5 mm, ...

, but this is the result of a little deeper digging into it than it was worth.
Let it go- (ff)- the authors present adequately (! !), otherwise they are misleading.

[Adimius38]

This is normal and should be done, we have had weapons since the Second World War, all of them are in good order and lie in oil in the boxes, so why not solve your geopolitical interests, including using it. This has tremendous efficiency, and not what Comrade Serdyukov arranged by sending workable AKM under the press and melting

Transfer weapons to blacks, and even free? This is already a crime. They will shoot each other there at our expense.

Deliveries are made FREE OF CHARGE, that is, free of charge, for nothing! But these gifts from the Russian Federation did not fall from the sky! If some have increased, then someone has decreased (money)!
