It’s good that they update SEE. And then war against Georgia is not excluded

[Pavel V]

Keep it up. The numbers are impressive. But the southern district is not the only one in Russia, it is simply the most "hot" (local terrorists, Georgia, again next to NATO, asks). And what about others?

[Dimka off]

gradually updated everywhere)

[APASUS]

approximately two thousand sets of portable communication systems

approximately 20 new helicopters "Night Hunter" Mi-28N

Here is the report! All about!

[Alexnov2001]

I think that in the report itself, which is not compiled for the general public, the numbers are quite accurate.

[vadimus]

Where it is hot there first of all. Is logical

[scrack]

Still there is "Iskander"

[Russian sniper]

More strike and fighter aircraft there)) such as Su-34 and Su-35)))

[snek]

Why are there fighters?

[RedFox]

Yeah, and a couple of Borey-class submarines.

[scrack]

and "Tornado" should be

[desava]

Are you competing who knows more units of military equipment? No, well, if you dream, then I do not mind))) In the comments of another article, there was a proposal to place the SSBN in the Black Sea !!!

[Evgeniy46]

I think Su-34 and Su-35 will be primarily in the western direction and the border with China For Mishiko, the Su-27SM is enough to get rid of it. Not bad, the numbers are impressive. Indeed, even more "Iskander" and Saakashvili will only yapping from a distance, squealing with fear

[tronin.maxim]

This is very good and extremely important since in 1 it will replace the old equipment that has exhausted its resource, and in 2 it will increase the power and combat effectiveness of our army groups.

[kotmster]

but practically nothing goes to other VOs. in their place I would not forget about Primorye!

[Hey]

Primorye is also not forgotten, as earlier on this site there was information on the supply of equipment there.
And pretty good.
Of course I would like more, but the guys are not all at once.
In fact, only a couple of years has the technology been intensively moving into the troops, and this despite the fact that the defense order was practically frustrated for two years.
If we fix this, we will hear much better news on the supply of equipment.

[Siberian]

By the way, who will explain: "anti-tank missile mortar" - what is this? Or a typo by the admins?

[kostyan77708]

pleased with such news, it is very good !!!!
