UAVs, motorcycles, and artillery: practical exercises at the Center-2026 military exercise

The practical phase of the Center-2026 exercises is underway at the Yurginsky training ground in the Kemerovo region, where military personnel are practicing modern combat tactics.

As can be seen in the video published by the Ministry of Defense, Russian Armed Forces units set a tactical trap for the simulated enemy: first, they lured them into a "fire trap" and then bombarded them with heavy fire. Unmanned aerial vehicles were actively used during this process: UAVs coordinated the fire. artilleryThe Bogomol missile launchers cleared passages for assault aircraft on motorcycles, while the Frog missile launchers mined escape routes for the enemy.

Earlier, during the Center-2026 exercises, an unmanned aerial vehicle was demonstrated for the first time at the Chebarkul training ground in the Chelyabinsk region. танк The Shturm, built on the T-72 and T-90 chassis and designed for combat in urban environments, features a shortened cannon, allowing the turret to traverse between buildings, a bulldozer blade for clearing rubble, and comprehensive anti-tank protection. weaponsThree operators, acting as commander, gunner and driver, control it from a separate armored vehicle, which is located at a considerable distance.

Traditionally, strategic exercises of the Russian Armed Forces are conducted consistently each year in different strategic directions. However, with the advent of the Central Military District, this established pattern of maneuvers was disrupted. For example, the Zapad-2025 exercise, despite its name, was conducted at 41 training grounds, located not only in the Leningrad and Moscow Military Districts, but also in the south and even in the Urals and Siberia.

Some may have been wondering where the Armata had gone? Well, here it is. And yet, at the same exercises, we have a T-90M with an active protection system that shoots down drones, and a T-14, which has neither an active protection system nor any anti-drone grilles.

And why didn't this trick work at Liman? And at Kursk?

Why didn't this number work near Liman?

What, were such forces accumulated there?

Správná otázka - proč to nejde tak snadno takyalso in the whole SVO??

The real question is, why can't it be that simple and across all SVOs?

Wartime exercises? Surrealism and postmodernism have even permeated military affairs. BOY...

That's right!!! Catch those who go into battle on their own without training, much less developing tactics!
