150-kilometer march in the Arctic with marine infantry drivers

With drivers of a separate Northern Marine Corps fleet (SF) 150 km cross-country march in the Arctic. It involved more than 50 units of wheeled and armored vehicles, including BTR-80 armored personnel carriers, four-wheel drive trucks URAL, KAMAZ, etc.

The 150-kilometer march was preceded by training and additional training of young drivers on driving automobile and armored vehicles in the Arctic. About 80% of drivers taking part in the march were called up to the ranks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the fall of 2012.

During the march, young drivers improve driving skills in the columns, including in conditions of limited visibility and off-road. The route of movement of the column passes both along highways and along unequipped routes of the Kola Peninsula.

During the march, servicemen work out questions of orientation on the ground, actions in attacking a convoy of subversive groups, airstrikes of a conditional enemy, overcoming contaminated areas of terrain, as well as the choice of shelters and disguise cars during halts. Each driver performs the tasks of the march on the vehicle that he is to operate during his further service.

About 40% of vehicles involved in the march are new URALs and KAMAZ trucks that entered the coastal forces of the Northern Fleet in 2012.

The fact that real combat units are so actively and quickly deploying in the Arctic is pleasing ... Well done ... And combat training for such units is normal ...

It’s not just a norm, it’s a vital necessity, as with mountain shooters, you can’t do with simulators alone.

, just like with mountain shooters, you can’t do with simulators alone.

It's even silly to argue ... Shooting in mountainous conditions, above a water surface or in frost is completely different from shooting in the middle lane ... I had to retrain soldiers and officers for quite some time ...

Something a bit late began to rejoice .... 61 The Kirkino brigade, now 61 regiment of the Marine Corps, has been based there in the late 50s in a fully expanded

It is correct to say "they are folding" - there used to be a brigade there, but now a regiment
And combat training for all parts of the Armed Forces is the norm, don’t you?

[mehanik27]

Well, at least the regiment was preserved, our reformers could cut it. And it’s useless to talk about combat training with a hamster, they have a routine episode of this training as an exercise ....

[tronin.maxim]

I think the exercises are very important, given their conduct in the northern regions. Which once again confirms the great importance of the north.

[mehanik27]

What is the importance of the usual standard and routine 150 km march, which completes the training of young drivers ???

[SEM]

The service life is of course ridiculous and it’s unlikely that they’ll be well trained)) but I want to believe that at least they are engaged in business as they are written in the article, and not curbs align. North is one of the strategic directions

[mehanik27]

Lord ... where do you come from then ??? The usual 150 km march that takes place just after the training of young drivers at the training camp before their distribution in parts. They do not study on this march, they show that they already know how.

[jindol47]

But the camouflage of the combat vehicle does not correspond to the terrain. Well, this, I think, is not a problem. Correct. He served at the time on Kola. Alternate airfield for Tu16-K10.

In summer everything blooms and smells there.

And wheeled vehicles along the tundra will not pass ... "Winter roads" are often the only way and way to deliver people, goods and other necessary property to remote settlements.
And everything that does not start and does not drive every day is buried under snowdrifts or "tightly" freezes into the ground.
Pay attention to the picture in the article, on the right side of the board log - this is for SPRING and autumn thaw. Without it, technology can forever remain in the tundra.

[воронов]

You are mistaken, comrade, the BMP log in the tundra will not save, the log is the so-called. "starter", when the equipment stalls, it is installed across, along the stern and hit (pushed) into it by a serviceable car to start with a push, similarly, logs are installed on tanks

[Lopatov]

There are tires for this. And there is nothing to strike, just a little push. MT-LB is not a BMP, soft car. You can press the boxes against the wall with your nose.

But the log for self-extraction is a great thing.

[mehanik27]

Well, on a hard surface and under a slight incline, the infantry squad manually launches a matalygu. Yes, it is possible even without tires to nakraynyak. Or a cable, or even on the most extreme nose rest and push

[Lopatov]

A good commander always has a tire. Doors bend, then close poorly. And the cable from a good commander is not native, but a tank

[mehanik27]

I'm talking about the most extreme case, when there is nothing ... And so, the materyga is a good car and so that it stalls tightly still have to try ....

[Lopatov]

That is yes. MT-LB and its descendants are perhaps the best vehicles in the army. MT-LBu passes where the tanks get stuck (with ordinary, narrow tracks and without spikes) - checked.

[mehanik27]

I’m ready to confirm the passability of the Matalyg myself. I have often had to proudly sail past hopelessly stuck tanks. The only problem with the MT-LB is that they are often tried to be used not quite for their intended purpose. All the same, it’s a tractor, not an armored personnel carrier or infantry fighting vehicle

[Lopatov]

Where how. In theory, MT-LB is also an armored personnel carrier. Especially now, when they began to put combat modules with a 30-mm cannon.
Well, they have protection like the BTR-80, so this is quite reasonable.

The driver of the combat vehicle, as shown in the photo, is not a driver, there is a manual gearbox, probably

[mehanik27]

Well, on the guys if my memory doesn’t change my position, it was called a driver, not a driver mechanic .. But in the photo, it’s clearly not a driver or a fur-driver)))

[Lopatov]

A car runs through a car service, so a driver is also possible.

[mehanik27]

In, for sure, the materiels went to the automotive service ... although not, this is not an argument ... For example, Tunguska and TORs in the auto service go through, but they have mechanics-drivers. (And what about armored personnel carriers? all))

[Lopatov]

There is generally a show. Motorcycles also pass through BT. Bike like AT. BTR-BRDM-BT service
And when painting a self-propelled gun, the BT service will give out the paint only to the base, RAVists should give out to the tower (just kidding)

[mehanik27]

So I was not mistaken with the armored personnel carriers. I was also surprised by such a gradation of equipment by services. But clearly, some sacred meaning is hidden here)))

[Lopatov]

It is a tradition
That's why we have flamethrowers ranked as chemists? So this is from the First World War.
An additional bonus is the opponent who does not understand anything in the traditions

[mehanik27]

I can still see the logic of classifying flamethrowers as chemists .... But the confusion with BT and AT is surprising.

[mehanik27]

As far as I remember, the camouflage of military equipment was canceled in the RA. And they camouflage it for beauty in a parade or arbitrarily.

[andrei. 2012]

It's bad that they will cancel the training of drivers in the troops for a lot of targeted equipment, they say they will train in DOSAAF. But while the training of pre-conscripts leaves much to be desired, and in the course of such a preparation with many kilometers of marches it turned out that hu is hu. As if again the saying "Beware of the military driver from all sides" did not come into use.

Retraining was canceled only for drivers of cars and trucks ... For special vehicles and cross-country vehicles, it was saved in full volume ...

[andrei. 2012]

Yes, only in the army all everyday tasks are not performed by special machines (that is, multi-purpose equipment travels more often for public roads).
KAMAZ, ZIL, URAL are cross-country vehicles and there will be no troops before training.

[erased]

Oh tsilo! Given the increasing pressure on the Arctic from the bardzo of good neighbors. Aviation, ground forces, fleet, missiles - there is a set of protection system! Now there would be more new technology and specialists.

[Voron65]

and what is stunning here?
The usual night march in the training program for young drivers.
And nothing in it is worked out according to the above list, neither raids, nor anything else.
This is included in the TSU with the completion of a 300 km march at the end of additional training.

Well, full (the northern kinsman of the fox) in our time it was a common occurrence: 50 km, 150 km-night and 500 km. soon they will give out the news as follows: the company of the N-brigade made a 10-kilometer march!

[mehanik27]

But how the hamsters here are happy ... EPT, march done, EPT soldier ride

[KamikadZzzE1959]

They know how to do an elephant out of us. We have 500-km marches in the regiment twice a year. An ordinary planned event. And the technology came out hundreds of one and a half.
It just shows that most of the information on the army on this site comes from the World Wide Web. Hence this puppy joy

[mehanik27]

Well, the hamster, where did they get more information of this kind)))

Calm down, bro! You had similar marches, but they started, I rejoice ...

In the GSVG, in the 20th army, there was such a "Barut glade", there, during these marches, the equipment was from horizon to horizon! It is understandably an exciting event, but in general it is an ordinary one. Just a stage in the training of drivers, which in the SDK make up less than 10% of other specialties.
News from the category "the military serves in the army"

[shaman012]

He served in the 70s in the GSVG. In the autobaht. We had a 500 km march for young drivers. Duck, but after 150 km when they still go on the tundra ??? I think that more than never! So it was with us: after the end of quarantine - 500 km. AND SCRIPT FOR 2 YEARS. Drill, painting, sweeping boxes, etc. I had 3 Urals: one in storage box in case of war, one more for traveling and quarantine training, and six months before the demobilization I got another new one: I ran in the shaman. But there were only a few of us. It is necessary to do a march of 1 times every 1 month, during breaks - preparation and maintenance of equipment. Then it will be good. I do not believe that something has changed for conscripts.

Do not confuse God's gift with an egg. The satellite ALWAYS shot, rolled, landed and jumped.

When it was a brigade, then yes. Here is the "shelf" - a question. The brigade of the MP of the Northern Fleet was generally the most combatant, albeit the most bullied ... According to the comrades who served there.

At us, in the GSVG of the 80s, it was different. There were 2 training vehicles in the company, 2-3 days a week — day-night driving training. We went all and a lot. In accordance with the combat training program

[Evgeny_Lev]

This is "Sputnik")) served there as a mechanic drive of the SAB, on a BMD reastat, he rode on a march))
Loss is a regiment, there was still a brigade. Sorry no pictures.

There was a case when I returned from training of the Omsk Airborne Forces, the battalion commander sent us to the park to receive equipment. Cars (Nona and reastat) had stood for about a year in an open parking lot. Because it was in the winter, just putting in the batteries, we couldn't start them. The torch heater, which is in the stern, could not be started, and I didn't really want to, because xs, he is terrible when he works. We stand, then, with the mechanics and the battery commander, thinking about how to start the vehicles. And ... a miracle !! I can hear from the neighboring park (there were two of them, nearby) the whistle of the turbine, HA !! I think there is a solution. The turbine was on the eighties, and they were just maneuvering in their park, well, I say to the old man, so they say, let's drive one here, put it stern to stern, cover it with an awning and fire it up, warm it up in a moment. That sopno and did))) From a poltychka after warming up 2x-3x minutes they started up)) So I "earned" the place of the mechanic of KShMki and drove the battery commander))

[mehanik27]

It is strange that the battery commander did not first guess or did not know the generally accepted way

And no one knows if our US "friends" have units capable of fighting in such conditions? And how ready are they for the temperature - 40

Now the fighters were already breathtaking from such a white virgin land of the Far North during such a march. Here is another page in the military training of soldiers. It is necessary that such marches be more frequent, and not single, then the preparation itself and the course of exercises will probably change.

[mehanik27]

If you had ever been on such a march (which, judging by your comment, I doubt), you probably would have known that the fighter on the first such march doesn’t give a damn about what nature is around. And I will tell you one news, that by 2002 In 2005, they were already able to reanimate combat training and such marches were a simple routine and routine. So the news is nothing ...

All the same, there is nothing to lose about the territory. And so in recent years they have been chasing anyone

Hmm, what's new about the article? The Marines are probably from Sputnik. The training was always carried out according to the combat training plan. Just so much hype

We had a 500 km march for young drivers.

Not in groups of troops, but in internal districts, the standards were:
-300km march, for wheeled vehicles;
-100km march, for BTT.
After its completion, the class was assigned. You served in a combat group vehicle. His destiny is to stand on the blocks. Until a special period or major military exercises. But the guys drove around on the cars of the transport group, be healthy. I have already mentioned here that the Hungarians, on the gates of the motor depots, had a slogan: "Driver! BEFORE making the maneuver, look to the left, to the right - is there a Russian Ural!" In fact, a lot depended on the commander in / h, and the commander of the auto division. Whether to keep only one carrier on a transport vehicle or periodically change it so that he does not start to feel irreplaceable and give others the practice of driving and exploring local roads. Most chose the first option - there is a lot of smut with documentary registration, and the risk is less ...

If the Satellite Marines have the same metals as in the 200 brigade, then sympathetic, 150 km without stoves, they probably gave oak.

Well, there are already problems of the soldiers themselves and their commanders, since they cannot fix the heaters for themselves, then they themselves are to blame and let them freeze.

actually, in the 200 brigade they simply aren’t)))) so there’s nothing much to fix

[mehanik27]

No heaters on "metals" ???

[shurup]

This makes me happy. They can already cover a distance of 150 km in winter from Red Square in any direction. I hope in the Arctic there are no traffic jams and flashing lights yet? In general, dog and reindeer sledding can be overcome and 1000 - there are no problems with winding and parking.
I understand that the young were riding wheeled vehicles, and the old wolves on others?

Soldiers ride the type of equipment for which they are assigned according to the state.

Well at least entertained the guys with a jeep tour. Itself rode this summer along the Kola and 509 highways - the hardest thing is not even drowning, but climbing stones. It turns out a sort of trial, but in the Urals the most!
Yes, there are gorgeous, beautiful things !!!!!!!!

[enot555]

whoever says anything, but at least slowly, but surely our army is gaining momentum. Of course, the former might of the Union is still far away, although if you remember what happened under the EBN, the collapse was plausible, and then it’s all face. The main thing is that you don’t get lost and look - there will again be such a powerful army as in the days of the Soviet Empire !!!

[s1н7т]

Alas, it is still very far from the "foundation". Although there is progress, but so far - baby talk. 150 km march - now a wire for news

[old rocket man]

And why did he take such a chipper because of the special training march, and even with new equipment?
That's when they write that the team left full composition and made a 500 km march, arriving at the final destination,again in full so then I will take off my hat and shout the loudest with a bang HURREL, IF FINALLY HALF OF THE FIGHTING MACHINES DO NOT DRAG ON THE ROPE.
Who served will understand me

[Captain45]

The march on the technique, of course, is great. The personnel must be trained. Only I think, if God forbid what kind of confusion starts, they will first of all call and put on the equipment of our northern Ural carriers and all-terrain vehicles. In winter, traveling around the tundra is not going to cut across the Moscow Ring Road in a foreign car. And in summer nothing will go along the tundra, if only "TREKOL" on pneumatics or a hovercraft.
