"Such exercises are taking place for the first time": in Finland they report about the loading of Russian military equipment on container ships

As part of the large-scale West-2021 maneuvers, Russian troops will have to perform a lot of combat missions. In particular, to test the mobilization capabilities of civil transport and infrastructure.

The Russian Western Military District conducts special exercises in the Gulf of Finland, during which they train the loading of troops and equipment on civilian ships

- reported in the publication Verkkouutiset.

According to a press release published earlier by the Russian Defense Ministry, the logistics exercises will be concentrated primarily in the ports of Vyborg and Ust-Luga in the Gulf of Finland. As reported, weapons and equipment are to be loaded onto a civilian ship. Photos have already been posted on social networks showing the process of placing equipment on the Kholmogory container ship.

During the Cold War, Norwegian strategists considered the possibility of using merchant ships during the Soviet offensive against our country.

- quotes the Finnish edition of the opinion of one of the Norwegian observers.

This is the first time such exercises take place in Russia.

- writes the Finnish observer.

China recently hosted a training exercise that also practiced the use of civilian ships to transport troops. However, the PLA used an experienced car ferry for this purpose, on which a ramp was installed. It allowed loading and unloading equipment at sea, not being limited to the port infrastructure.

Here are some pictures of the civilian freighters being loaded with trucks, BM-21 MRLS and T-72B3 obr 2016 tanks in the port of Viipuri, 20km from the Finnish border.

After the exercises "West 2021", the Russian Federation will include the Belarusian Federal District, headed by A.G. Lukashenko (although I'm not sure if he is sick)

After the exercises "West 2021", the Belarusian Federal District will appear as part of the Russian Federation

Why not the Rostov region, enlarged at the expense of the DPR and LPR, in the format of "Greater Donbass", Little Russia and Novorossia + Transnistria?

[Wahmister 1970]

Yours has repeatedly repeated Donbass Ukraine.
RB is ultimately more promising: - legally, financially, mentally, and the population is smaller.
Just in time for election success

[Peak]

Quote: Wahmister 1970

Yours has repeatedly repeated Donbass Ukraine.

But he also repeated more than once - " Just twitch ..."

And you twitch , because you have only two ways out - AT Donbass or OF Donbass.

And both steps are fatal for you.

[Wahmister 1970]

Three-freeze of the conflict with the introduction of peacekeepers. And the sanctions will remain and the b / d will end
No wonder Ze launched a test bullet at the expense of the referendum.

Yeah, peacemakers Ours and the "sick" Lukashenka

Nope, why introduce your "ichtamnets", they are already there

Where? You us (them), see ???

Quote: Wahmister 1970

Do not start practicing verbal balancing, we are all adults here.

That is, as in "DMB" - you and your "allies" do not see us, but we still exist ???

You sniff a rag with what kind of gasoline?

[Peak]

Quote: Wahmister 1970

Gasoline from personal experience?

No, no ... All from "DMB"

Quote: Wahmister 1970

True eyes hurts?

What is the "truth"? Other than your "you are there", no evidence of our military presence in Donbass you do not bring

And it’s probably still worth writing (although I’m not sure what will come to you, due to its stubbornness) that if we are there
then ANY OPTIONS (1, 2, 3 - 3333) you are not punished.

But you don't understand this, do you?

[Rubi0]

In Kiev, 2 Chechen battalions with Russian passports run and shoot at each other, the Akuevs are a vivid example, so there are still gophers in Kiev))) maybe that's why they urge them to be taken out and taken away constantly

And it won't be like that ...

The young man is working clumsy, don't come to the cashier tomorrow ...

[Wahmister 1970]

Of course it will not, it was not enough that I was unclear with whom I drank.
At the expense of a young man, do not flatter, I do not like.
3. Are you the cashier tomorrow? So I'm out of luck
What is clumsy, in truth?

In vain they threw minuses to the Vakhmister, who thought that the USSR would collapse? This is how he will gather.
And the aged Old Man will bless the new education with a trembling hand.

That’s why they teach, what would be used to work out various methods of delivery. Finns, what side to you?

[Vasyan1971]

Quote: aleks neym_2

Finns, what side to you?

They are habitually afraid, just in case.

[Vioi]

they are afraid. We can what have started

[Pacquale Pestrini]

Finns are afraid of the Russian Federation, until now, bomb shelters are provided in every apartment building, at all enterprises too. Remember the bombing of Helsinki

[Borisych]

Why the Finns should be surprised is not particularly clear. The procedure is mandatory from the point of view of mobility.

[URAL72]

Come on, for the first time. Back in 1962, the army was transferred to Cuba imperceptibly, on submarines or what? Ordinary teachings ...

[Vasyan1971]

Quote: URAL72

Come on, for the first time.

This is the first time such exercises take place in RUSSIA

It's not about the USSR.

[URAL72]

I understand that this is not about the USSR, but isn’t the Russian fleet and the Armed Forces as a whole studying the experience of past generations? Peter taught me how to dig redoubts, but we remember.

[Vasyan1971]

They study. But theory without practice is dead. © Yes, and even now, not that just now. How many generations have changed? Should we rest on past merits? Skills need to be renewed every year.

[Reserve buildbat]

Excuse me, but redoubts are not dug, but built
And according to the article, they are simply horrified that the equipment on container ships is now loaded not by "tolerant-lgbt" norgs, but by "terribly intolerant barbarians" by the Russians.

As far as I remember, in addition to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there were air defense units, RTR units, missile units and much more.

As far as I know, neither the TA, nor the OA of the USSR was transferred to Cuba, and this is what you wrote about:

To Cuba back in 1962 the army transferred unnoticed

[URAL72]

The total strength of the redeployed group of forces was 50 personnel and up to 874 civilian personnel; it was necessary to transport over 3000 tons of material and technical means. "

Is this your division? I am not a Pharisee-scribe, therefore I said the army for brevity, meaning the number and not the structural unit.

They portray themselves as "girlish innocence" as if such exercises are not regularly held in NATO.
Moreover, their memory is bad, otherwise they would remember how four years from Mukran to St. Petersburg and Kaliningrad how our ferries with cargo and equipment from the Western troop group went on schedule, and the Finns did not say anything about this.
So do not give a damn about their "fears" - we want this element of loading to be worked out to the smallest detail, and civil ships can always quickly arrive at the place of loading. Then the Navy can complete its tasks without the presence of a large number of landing ships, which will reduce the cost of their construction and maintenance.

[archiroll]

As long as we drive them a tree round, they have nothing to fear.

[Azis]

A ban on the export of round timber from January 1, 2022. You can start

[tralflot1832]

I don’t understand anything, the container ship Kholmogory, now north of Venspils is sailing on a 13th junction to the Gulf of Finland from Kaliningrad. This technique needs a roller-jet. I missed the date, August 23, call. The equipment has already been delivered to Kaliningrad.

[Serg65]

Quote: tralflot1832

This technique requires a roller-coaster

This is a redeployment, not a landing!

[Ross xnumx]

This is the first time such exercises take place in Russia.
- writes the Finnish observer.

Why are they worried. Everything happens for the first time. Russia has a small Kaliningrad semi-exclave. What if you need equipment or weapons there? We have them, so we are training to deliver ...

[Deck]

Well, the ancient Rosmorport ferry "Baltiysk" broke down, well, they hired the NSR with a slightly less ancient container ship "Kholmogory" (ex Jenna Catherine). On what that equipment in Baltiysk needs to be transported

[Narak-zempo]

The turn will come - and we will return Helsingfors to Russia.

[Pacquale Pestrini]

There are fewer of them in all of Estonia than in Moscow. Wait another 5 years until everything is dumped in Europe - and you can borrow without a serious cleanup. Maybe three hundred and three violent transplant preventively - that's all.

[Pacquale Pestrini]

So the population growth has been going on for 5 years already. Due to migrations, it is true, but still. Non-brothers are actively moving, they are heaven, salaries are like in Poland (or even more), and many speak Russian. I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for everyone to leave)

We’ll sort it out with the non-brothers somehow. Look, Shoigu proposes to build cities in Siberia - we will send them there.

[Pacquale Pestrini]

I'm afraid they won't go, it's strange that they go to Russia to work, salaries are really higher in the EU, and Siberia is cold and far from home

This requires a big mess, you need to look for allies

[Narak-zempo]

Quote: Pacquale Pestrini

Russia has 2 allies - the army and the navy. Well, more precisely, now it's already 3, if you count the videoconferencing.

[Pacquale Pestrini]

Unfortunately, this strategy is a little outdated, and the Russian Federation has not been RI for a long time. Without allies, 150 million is not very much to fight. Although + - 50 million Russians abroad could also be taken into account, but every year they are increasingly assimilated with the countries in which they live.

[stalkerwalker]

According to a press release published earlier by the Russian Defense Ministry, the logistics exercises will be concentrated primarily in the ports of Vyborg and Ust-Luga in the Gulf of Finland.
Everything new is a well-forgotten "old".
This whole procedure for loading military equipment onto civilian ships was worked out all the way in the days of the USSR. For the transportation of heavy equipment, ships equipped with heavy cranes were involved for unloading onto an unequipped berth. In the NSR, for this purpose, either vessels of the "Igor Grabar" type, or vessels of the "Pioneer of Moscow" type were involved, since only their cargo devices could load / unload equipment weighing 20-30 tons.
In addition, at the VMK under shipping companies, navigators of all ranks were trained in navigation both in caravans and in solo voyages. Methods of evading attacks from air targets, methods of protection from penetrating radiation and other wisdom were studied.
Considering the fact that the domestic fleet of this class, capable of plowing the seas with a load of military equipment on board, there are only a few left, the article of the Finnish magazine attracted attention, tk. everything described happened under the nose of the foe.
PS
Right now, the Boa constrictor KAA will appear and bring all the details to the attention of those who are thirsty.

[Pereira]

Finnish hysteria amuses me.
Who the fuck want you?

[Pacquale Pestrini]

Ask the Russians who are passing through to live in Finland, the Russians are a large national minority. And if you count with all the Russians (from Estonia, Latvia, Ukraine), then 100 will definitely be
