Ministry of Defense plans to open the Arctic Combat Training Center

13
Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced that the main Russian military department plans to create an Center for Arctic Combat Training. It will be held special classes for units that are used to protect the Arctic frontiers of the country. Reports about it Arctic-Info.



At the ministerial meeting, Sergei Shoigu said:

In addition to the constant basing and combat duty of our units in the Arctic, of course, we need to create a training center there.

Sergei Shoigu said that the Arctic Center being created will affect the work of various types and types of troops. At the same time today the emphasis will be placed on cargo escort, which during the navigation period will go along the Northern Sea Route. It is to this route that such countries as South Korea, China, and Japan transporting their goods to Europe show great interest in recent years.

The creation of the Center for Arctic combat training fits into the program for the full-scale development of the Arctic space, the riches of which draw attention even to those countries that are thousands of nautical miles away from the Arctic.

Since last year, the Ministry of Defense has been conducting a phased redevelopment of Arctic airfields (in the Novaya Zemlya archipelagoes, the Novosibirsk Islands, Franz Josef Land, as well as the airfield in Tiksi, etc.).

            Serious weapon!
            Well, now in Russia, in the course of recent events, hands are more or less untied at the expense of armaments. Still not so blind!

          Right-wingers in Ukraine are afraid to move around, where they already are - they are not crazy to go into Russia.

      Correctly. It is high time to restore the military presence on its territory.

      A very necessary center. The Arctic has a lot of features that are not felt on the mainland. Therefore, to serve in the Arctic need trained people, both physically and mentally.

      The Arctic is not only the Northern Sea Route and huge reserves of fish gas oil .. but also enormous reserves of ice (fresh water) Soon it will be worth its weight in gold ..

      And also "White Silence". People are fascinated by the Arctic, like the heroes of Jack London's novels, free, strong-willed, fearless, without a shadow of fear and doubt, while Russians just live there!

      A friend served at the ZPI. He told a lot of interesting things. For example, a rope is pulled between the dining room and the barracks. The wind is such a force that if it takes away, only archaeologists will find it in a hundred years. Even though I am from the North, the conditions there are generally hellish.

      A serious strategic proposal. The people, I think, will approve it unambiguously. Yanks will again fall asleep badly, nice.

        It is necessary not only centers, but the MSD on the DT-30P in Alakurtti to be deployed with training specially for the Arctic with field exits somewhere on Novaya Zemlya. Then there will definitely be a sense.
