Russian military personnel from 201st base have been deployed to the borders of Afghanistan to conduct exercises

The situation in northern Afghanistan continues to deteriorate in connection with the attempts of militants from the Taliban terrorist movement (* banned in Russia) to gain control over increasingly vast territories. Some time ago, with reference to accounts controlled by the Taliban *, Western media reported that at a number of checkpoints on the Afghan-Tajik border, Taliban field commanders * placed groups of ethnic Tajiks - from the cells of terrorist organizations that are banned in Tajikistan. If this information is true, then the likelihood that the militants will nevertheless begin to infiltrate into Tajikistan increases.

Against this background, there are reports that the regrouping of the troops of the 201st Russian military base on the territory of Tajikistan - at the "Harb-Maidon" training ground has been completed. There will be joint maneuvers of the contingents of Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The information is confirmed by the press service of the Central Military District (Central Military District).

It was noted that Russian military personnel from motorized rifle, artillery and engineering formations arrived from Dushanbe to the mentioned training ground. They made a 200-km march, during which they practiced the combat protection of the columns, repelling the attack of the conditional enemy DRGs. For this, the army was also used. aviation... The tasks of overcoming areas of terrain with various types of contamination, including chemical contamination, were also worked out.

In the area where the Russian contingent is concentrated, command and control posts have been deployed, and camouflage measures have been taken.

The maneuvers with the participation of Russian, Tajik and Uzbek military will take place from 5 to 10 August near the border with Afghanistan. One of the stages of the exercise will be associated with repelling an attack from gangs from the adjacent territory. This is a very urgent task in the region today.

You can use multiple launch rocket systems directly across the adjacent territory - the border, there, is a very conditional thing! Since you won't find peaceful farmers in Afghanistan since the days of Najibullah, especially in the area of ​​the border with Tajikistan, if someone arrives in Afghanistan, then this is the will of Allah ... For the 12th outpost, answer!

There you can go straight through the adjacent territory ...

Yes, it would not have come closer. It is likely that there are many of their followers in the territories of Tajikistan and Turkmenistan.

It is necessary to negotiate with the Taliban, and not zhakat on the adjacent.

I am plagued by vague doubts: did the Taliban come to Moscow to see Lavrov, or ...

Those to which the States came to Doha.
They need recognition and help against covid.
IMHO, they will not fight Tajiks and Uzbeks.

... In that region, there is only one step from exercises to real conflict!
Although, when the units are deployed, it's like a finger on the trigger ... few people want to check if they will press or not press!

So the question is: why was the regiment removed from Kulob, leaving the town, houses, parks for military equipment? And all this is 200 km from the border, and closer at 10-15?
To fidget now - to move forward on these 200 km?
Although ... What kind of regiment is there, when the 201st is more for a division, and a certain "base" has the status of either a brigade, or it is not clear what else - thanks to Serdyukov, "he saw it that way." And the Ministry of Finance - he saved.
Now if Serdyukov and Kudrin are on the Afghan border, let them guard them.

why was the regiment removed from Kulob

It stands in Bokhtar, 60 km in a straight line to the border, and not like from Kulyab through the mountains.

What is the composition of this "base"?

[faterdom]

Is Bokhtar a former Kurgan-Tyube? So there was another regiment, and it was logical: it covered the flat part of the Vakhsh valley, and Kulyab - a difficult part of the border (ledge, foothills) in the zone of responsibility of the Moscow Pogo.
And this was logical: the border was guarded by border detachments, behind them were covered by regiments with heavy weapons and the ability to get reinforcements from Dushanbe and Liur, if necessary. There were no troops in the high-mountainous regions, there was its own specificity, they also guarded the Nurek dam and the "Window" ect.
Now everything is more complicated: the border guards are not ours with unknown loyalty, 201 bases as an argument cover the region "as a whole", but does not have any tasks, as previously specific ...
I don’t know the current composition of the base, it is extensible and is now obviously growing.
But earlier, Mr. Serdyukov zealously trained brigades from divisions, or even battalions, saying that this is how it should be ...
As our recent history shows, it is easy to remove a regiment or division, abandoning everything and squandering the excess, but to recreate something and create a base is not so fast and very expensive.

now they will come in - without too much noise
