According to Shoigu, by the end of this year, the grouping of the Russian Armed Forces in the Arctic will be reinforced by the inclusion of anti-aircraft missile and ship fighter regiments. RIA News quotes the Minister of Defense:

Currently, in this region (in the Arctic - approx. “VO”), work is ongoing to build up the group aviation and air defense. By the end of the year, it is planned to complete the formation of a naval fighter and anti-aircraft missile regiment, an association of the Air Force and Air Defense.

Sergei Shoigu noted that the build-up of the Russian Armed Forces grouping in the Arctic latitudes is associated with the protection of national interests, including economic activity, in the northern macro-region.

Meanwhile, work continues in the New Siberian Islands related to the erection and arrangement of the Arctic military campus, equipped with everything necessary for service and livelihoods. In addition, the special platoon servicemen carry out work on cleaning the islands of the Novosibirsk archipelago from the accumulated metal debris there (we are primarily talking about barrels of fuel that have remained in huge numbers on the islands since the Soviet era).

In June, the transfer of Rubezh mobile anti-ship missile systems to the Kotelny Island began.

    "The main defense department plans to build up forces in the Arctic direction" ...

    Now I am just reading "Arctic Shadows of the Third Reich" and am amazed ...

    Everything is done right, very right ... too many mouths are opened both on the Arctic and on the Arctic coast ...

    Everything is in place, but you still need to build a normal infrastructure, slowly "settle down" the North, develop the Armed Forces in the Arctic ...

    The boundary there is also very out of place ...

        was the case. Americans are really not ready for competition in the Arctic. And it is very important that they ALWAYS join in this struggle. Let them stretch their strength. And so already more than 1000 bases around the planet.
        But I believe that they will try to fight more at the expense of the armies of the Scandinavian countries, Denmark, etc. It will be hard for yourself. Too much direction. And so they will accept the Scandinavians in NATO and the matter is in the hat. Although everything can be. nobody canceled the printing press.

          I think in such statements our trolls of the USA are just subtly.

            from each small and no small pile of ships will turn out. Their fleet is not large, but quite modern. I'm talking about the Danes.

    Here's how to understand our Shoigu?
    By the end of the year, it is planned to complete the formation of a naval fighter and anti-aircraft missile regiment, combining the Air Force and Air Defense.

    So a new fighter regiment is being created? It is not renamed, not reassigned, but a new one is created.
    New union? Excuse me, does this mean that a whole new army is being created with new corps, divisions, regiments?
    Or all as always. Signs at the headquarters will change and the type of reform carried out!
