The formation of two new motorized rifle divisions will be completed in the Southern Military District

42

During 2022, the formation of two new divisions of the ground forces will be completed in the Southern Military District.

It is reported TASS, referring to the district press service.



According to the commander of the Southern Military District, General of the Army Alexander Dvornikov, the divisions being formed will include one more motorized rifle regiment and a tank battalion each. Such strengthening of divisions will increase the combat effectiveness of the district.

Recall that in 2020, the 19th motorized rifle division was re-formed as part of the Southern Military District, and in 2021 the first stage of the formation of the 20th motorized rifle division was completed. The 19th division is part of the 58th combined arms army, and the 20th division is part of the 8th combined arms army.

The completion of the formation of new divisions is not the only step towards increasing the combat capabilities of the Southern Military District. So, in 2022, the district command plans to deploy to its full strength the 415th training center for training junior specialists, where they will train drivers, gunners and driver mechanics for units and subunits of the ground forces and coastal troops of the Black Sea fleet and the Caspian Flotilla. The number of trained drivers, gunners and driver-mechanics will be more than 5 thousand people.

These measures will make the district, which is traditionally considered the most combat-ready and battle-hardened in Russia, even stronger, which is very important, given the geographical location of the Southern Military District on the border with Ukraine and the countries of the Caucasus.

      I fully share your call. And, most likely, not only me.
      So they don’t give ... peacefully.
      With an independent policy, there should be divisions. Lots of divisions.

        The question is, what do people think, dream about?
        There are many, many divisions, in addition to defending the borders of the fatherland, there is also a serious burden on the country's economy ...
        Such times, unfortunately, are not friends around and they can live in the world only when not a small, such a fist is brought to their nose ...

      An ordinary motorized rifle division has three motorized rifle and one tank regiment. It includes artillery and anti-aircraft regiments, a reconnaissance battalion, and a communications battalion. Each motorized rifle battalion of a division has an airmobile group armed with light armored vehicles, UAVs, anti-tank grenade launchers, and other units and subunits. The motorized rifle division together with the forces of combat, special-technical and logistic support and support is 8-15 thousand command and rank personnel. Two divisions are a serious force that Russia desperately needs at the moment.

        And what are 2 divisions deployed in peacetime?
        Tens of thousands of soldiers.
        Or just headquarters and warehouses with equipment and ammunition?
        I'm assuming - the second.
        During hostilities, a combat-ready reinforced battalion group will be formed.

    During 2022, the formation of two new divisions of the ground forces will be completed in the Southern Military District.

    Here's how to react to this news?
    On the one hand, everything is correct, the backbone is growing - the ground forces, the number of which is clearly insufficient for a country like ours.
    On the other hand, it sometimes seems that there is no long-term strategy for the development of the national armed forces. Ten years have passed since Serdyukov's reforms were reduced by a link - a division, moving to a three-link structure. Now the divisions are being recreated again ... This is time, money, specialists ...

        So the real brigades had nothing to do with the ones offered by the furniture maker. "Brigade Serdyukov" (more precisely, Makarov) was supposed to be a permanent readiness unit, staffed by 90-95% of the staff, and contract soldiers. And then the simplification and cost reduction began. First, they decided to save on contract soldiers and partially replaced them with conscripts. And then they saved on the completeness, reducing it by a quarter.
        As a result, the resulting brigades suffered from the same problems as the old divisions, but their firepower decreased significantly.

          Who's stopping you from having a full complement of divisions? belay The meaning of the transition to a type of brigade structure? what

          If the type is more mobility, so it has less opportunities. Or our big ones then decided that we have peace with the West forever and ever? A strange decision, especially in the context of the type of constant defense of the interests of the Russian Federation from the very beginning .. Did he really think that the bourgeois-at least give something good?

            Who prevents to have divisions of a complete set

            And this is the legacy of the war 08.08.08. After that they started again prepare for the last war - conflict of low intensity and short duration, level of 3-4 brigade groups. Such a conflict requires highly mobile units of constant readiness, which can be quickly concentrated in the right area. And it is desirable to have more of them, so that if something happens, more of them would be based near the conflict zone. Otherwise, it will be like in the same 08.08.08, when the nearest reserve 58 A was in Volgograd and could only arrive in a few weeks.
            And in order to make divisions as brigades or deploy "old" divisions from actually framed into contract formations of constant readiness, the Moscow Region had neither people nor money.

            Not really. After 08.08.08, the calculation was for proxy wars with Georgian-level puppets. A major war at the level of an army group was considered unlikely - there were no such opponents then.

    drivers and gunners are good, but a complete transition to training personnel in training centers is more correct - now the amount of knowledge is many times greater than that which a soldier should have known even 40 years ago, therefore it is impossible to organize high-quality training in units - training centers and 6 months are needed training

    In short, Shoigu is rewinding back to Serdyukov’s reforms. Divisions again, 1-2 regiments of you to the airfield, etc. but how much money was spent and how many officers were expelled from the army during the criminal acts of Taburetkin, but he got away with everything. touches! but there will be at least some kind of responsibility of the authorities to the people and the country ??? and by the way, what about officer positions?
