'Therefore, a United States Army armoured brigade and four multinational battalion tactical groups have been deployed to Poland and Baltic countries. Coalition Divisions headquarters of the Alliance have been formed in Romania, Poland and Latvia. There is an increase of port and airfield infrastructure capacities', said Shoigu.  In his assessment, the strength of NATO primary involvement force has almost doubled: from 25 to 40 thousand servicemen.

The day of the creation of this kind of troops is considered October 28, 1948, when the first aviation squadron equipped with helicopters was formed in Serpukhov near Moscow. Helicopter aviation was initially considered auxiliary: its tasks were cargo transportation, fire adjustment and reconnaissance. Today, Russian army aviation, whose armament is considered one of the best in the world, is several thousand helicopters designed for a wide variety of applications. Some of their types have no analogues in the world. The tasks of air support for combined arms formations are assigned to the Mi-8, Mi-24, Mi-26, Mi-28, as well as the Ka-52 helicopters, which also exist in the version for ships. New models are constantly being developed - updating and increasing the number of helicopter fleets is one of the priorities for the Russian Armed Forces. The corvette of the Baltic Fleet "Soobrazitelny" performed a number of combat training missions using the ship's weapons at sea. In particular, the crew of the corvette, in a duel confrontation with the ship of an imaginary enemy, defended itself with anti-torpedoes, and then struck a counterattack. During the exercise, a small anti-submarine ship of the Baltic naval base attacked the corvette with a torpedo salvo. In turn, the crew of the "Soobrazitelny" with the help of sonar means identified the threat, performed an anti-torpedo maneuver and fired two anti-torpedoes from the "Paket" complex in service with the ship. According to objective control data, the corvette's response salvo destroyed training torpedoes fired from a small anti-submarine ship. After the implementation of anti-torpedo defense measures, the specialists of the mine-torpedo warhead of the ship retaliated against a ship of an imaginary enemy. The exit to the sea ended with the implementation of counter-sabotage defense missions. The sailors conducted an in-ship training to combat the damage to the ship. The mortarmen of the artillery formation of the Western Military District began tactical exercises using the "Tyulpan" high-power mortars as part of the final check in the Tambov region. The combat crews inflicted concentrated group strikes with high-explosive fragmentation mines and shells at moving columns of an imaginary enemy, its command posts and weapons depots. The unit's target coordinates were obtained from the Orlan-10 unmanned aerial vehicles. Published on October 29, 2021 The newest patrol ship of project 22160 "Sergei Kotov" (built for the Black Sea Fleet) went to sea for the first time to undergo factory sea trials. The exit to the Black Sea took place from the military harbor of the Novorossiysk naval base. The tests are carried out by the regular crew together with the factory commissioning team in order to check the main parameters of the ship, all ship devices, mechanisms and equipment for compliance with technical conditions and are one of the important stages before the ship is accepted into the Navy, which is planned to be carried out at the end of this year. During the first stage of factory tests at sea, the operation of life support systems, energy and survivability, the operation of radio equipment, communications, ventilation and air conditioning, as well as indicators of speed, maneuverability and stability of the ship will be tested. Before the start of the tests, the ship's crew mastered the skills of mooring operations, operation, maintenance and practical application of the onboard systems, devices and mechanisms of the frigate. After the completion of this stage of sea trials, the shipbuilders, together with the crew, will revise the ship's systems, devices and mechanisms, and also continue to prepare it for the next stage in accordance with the State Test Plan. [Sergey Kotov (1912-1999) - was a Soviet military sailor, participant of the Great Patriotic War, Hero of the Soviet Union (1944), Rear Admiral (1959).]

The Myth of Russian Aggression
No, Russia is not preparing to invade Ukraine
Granted, memories in the era of instant media are short. But are they so short that US and European public opinion is being invited to accept, without challenge, a new round of scaremongering about*Russia*that comes only six months after the last? It was, after all, as recently as April that most of Europe was on tenterhooks over reports that 100,000 Russian troops were massing on*Ukraine’s eastern border, preparing for… well, it was never quite spelled out what they were preparing for. It could have been an invasion and takeover of the whole of Ukraine, the installation of a puppet government in the Donbass, or the annexation – or ‘integration’, as Russia might have preferred to say – of that territory by the Russian Federation, on the model of Crimea in 2014. Or just a new ‘offensive’ against Ukrainian government forces in the region. Then, not only did nothing happen, but also two rather large clarifications emerged. The first was that there were not, and never had been, 100,000 Russian troops massing on Ukraine’s border. The vast majority were at their bases many kilometres away. And second, the much smaller number who were moving around were likely to be doing so in response to reports of Ukrainian troops mustering for a spring offensive, new weapons deliveries from the UK and the US, and some rather extensive NATO exercises being conducted in the Black Sea and to the west of Ukraine. https://www.globalresearch.ca/myth-r...ession/5761936 More here... |
