    It is important to evaluate our ability to protect national interests in the South-West strategic direction.

    Judging by this news, the army is waiting for new large planned exercises and there is money for it. The rearmament program will continue, and possibly in some components, as the nuclear fist is expanded.
    Emphasis will be placed on upgrading infrastructure and improving supply. The measures are right and necessary. Article plus.

    To form new divisions in the western direction of 3, to arrange their places of permanent deployment.
    The first step is to build exact copies of the Vostochny Val sections (Yatsenyuk's line) at the divisional ranges. Engineers and motorized riflemen should start practicing assault actions laughing

    Shoigu - well, everything is fine, clearly, as it should, pah-pah-pah, so as not to jinx it. Only one thing, well, you see, the country lacks a technological breakthrough in civilian life. We can only get it from the Ministry of Defense. Well, remove the "secret" stamp from what could become our "iPhone". I refuse to believe that we have nothing breakthrough for world consumption! Anyway, damn it, how much can you talk about the coolest army, well, or okay ... the second one. "Why all the technologies in the US? Half of it is definitely from the military sector, if we are in second place, well, we should have at least something And we, I beg your pardon, are making a fucking refrigerator of the 2s ..

    In 2016, in the Strategic Missile Forces, to put on rocket duty 5 missile regiments equipped with modern missile systems.

    At the same time, 20 missiles will enter the troops. 20 divided by 5 = 4 missiles per shelf. what is this regiment? That is what 5 divisions would say. or 1,5 shelf

      Perhaps this refers to the statement on the database of those who are now on experimental combat already with equipment and whom they plan to understaff. So they did in the division known to you.
      And for those who become experimental combat combat - yes, according to the divisional set and joyfully report on the rearmament of the regiment.

    Remember the nineties and the beginning of the 2000's ... What was your attitude to the army? Right. Gray mass, pot-bellied generals, thieving ensigns, grass, painted green, solid household work, semi-working equipment ... We don’t have any enemies, all friends now. Military service was considered a disgrace, the destiny of those who could not slope.

    And now? Equipment, new uniforms, very decent living are being updated at an accelerated pace, instead of the old type of barracks, where beds looked more like bunks ... The attitude of the state towards the army has changed radically, salaries have been significantly raised and paid on time, they are provided with housing, exercises are being conducted, and contractors are being hired .. Yes, you can’t list everything. And service in the army no longer seems to be tantamount to serving a term, moreover, many go to serve with pleasure, service becomes a prestigious, respected profession. And what will be another years through 5? Well done Shoigu - restores order.

    But our liberals are trying to squeak that the army is not needed, that there are no external enemies, that it is necessary, that it is necessary ... It is necessary to bend down and kiss the west .... And to us for this handoff! And evil uncles do not allow us to do this.

    Among other things, I wonder how the new divisions will be formed? Due to existing parts or from scratch? Which ones are infantry or tank? Where to get the equipment and which?
    The infrastructure of the new divisions is a lot of work and costs. But if necessary, it is clear that they will find a penny.
    There are many questions, but will the MoE cover this matter? Interesting too.

      All expenses have already been pledged and allocated until 2020, GDP at a press conference answered this question that even if oil costs 10 bucks, the defense plan will be implemented.
      The only thing is that the timing of some programs is shifted by a year or two, but by 2020 they said everyone would surrender.
      As I understand it, they will adjust it depending on the budget possibilities, but 2020 is an extreme year.
      But I wonder why 2020 is so critical ?? They will attack us ?? what
      And the sanctions are not for Ukraine for sure, they are just stupidly trying to keep us in the development of something that is planned for the campaign.
