All for 10?

But seriously, it turns out 10-12 cars of each type?

[Evgeniy46]

Yes, great news! It is nice that the process of re-equipping the RA is gaining momentum.

The news of course is good. but why are we re-equipping central Russia, but what about the Far East, where is the new technology here?

[smiths xnumx]

Since 2011, about 40 KA-52, Mi-8AMTSh and Mi-26 have been delivered to the BBO. The first 4 KA-52s arrived at the Chernigovka air base on May 23, 2011. This year I plan to deliver about 30 KA-52 and Mi-8AMTSh helicopters. Of course not enough, but better than nothing.

The news is certainly good, but the amount is sad.

Central Russia because the 344 Center for combat training and retraining of flight personnel is located in Torzhok, Tver Region. Retraining flights almost every day - the guys work out their monetary allowance to the fullest. Crews will be trained, and even then it can be delivered throughout the country.

My question is, how are things with the Mi-28 overhead module for radar? If anyone knows, enlighten me.

No wonder the cooperative needs to be postponed for old age.

Little hen - the whole yard is in shit! Let quality be not enough! We’ll sway nothing! Liberals would be dispersed, things would go more fun!

[BIGLESHIY]

At first, it would be nice to shoot thieves

[Sirjey]

No matter what anyone says about thieves, sawing up and embezzlement, I am glad that at least a little, but recently there is a tendency in the right direction. Serdyukov was removed, Naginsky was removed (I am sure that in all regions, in connection with his resignation, the "belts will be tightened"), I hope that everything will continue at the same pace. And news about the supply of weapons is heard more and more often, and not so much about which boat was once again put to metal ... I think Shogu rightfully took this post, at least at exhibitions and shows he shows interest in what is happening and draws conclusions, and not how his predecessor went yawn ...
