On command-and-staff training, the Tula Airborne Force made a massive landing of personnel and combat equipment with parachute.

The landing of 24 pieces of military equipment was carried out from the IL-76 aircrafts of the Russian military transport aviation from a height of 800 meters to landing sites in the Ryazan Region.

After landing, the paratroopers separated the fighting vehicles from the parachutes and proceeded to fulfill the tactical task set.

According to the plan of the exercise, the units of the Airborne Forces operate in the rear of the imaginary enemy and carry out tasks in conditions of active use of subversive reconnaissance groups and enemy electronic warfare.

The landing of special forces units of the Airborne Forces took place immediately before the landing of military equipment in the area of forthcoming operations.













The missile defense system of the Aerospace Forces is designed to protect the city of Moscow from air and space attack strikes, as well as to perform tasks in the interests of missile attack warning systems and space control.

At the Sergeevsky training ground near Ussuriisk there was a stage of the contest "Tank Biathlon" within the framework of the ARMI-2018 among the tankers of the Vachochny Military District.

This year, the participants of races for the first time compete in the platoons, and time is considered the last tank. Also, the innovation of the competition was shooting from the closed positions, when the fire is conducted on unobserved targets from the tank, and aiming at the target is carried out with the help of unmanned aerial vehicles. In addition, shooting at targets simulating the armored vehicles of an imaginary enemy is now being carried out while the tank is moving.

More than 150 servicemen of combined-arms associations and formations of the Eastern Military District take part in the competitions, and about 20 units of combat equipment are involved.








The airborne units of Russia and Belarus carried out counter-diversion actions during the joint exercise.

During the air reconnaissance using Belarusian unmanned aerial systems, the scouts of the two countries discovered a base of imaginary illegal armed formations.

The airborne units of Russia and Belarus attacked the target with D-30 howitzers and air support from MI-8 helicopters of the Belarusian Air Force, after which they conducted a clean of the settlement under the cover of BTR-80 and Belarusian snipers.








The missile cruiser of the Northern Fleet "Marshal Ustinov" reflected the air strike of an imaginary enemy in the Barents Sea. The crew of the ship conducted training in air defense with the implementation of anti-aircraft missile and artillery fire at simulated air targets.

The mariners were opposed by the pilots of the fighter regiments on the Su-33 and MiG-29K deck fighters. The pilots simulated the attack of the cruiser from various heights and directions, and the combat units of the ship carried out tracking targets and the use of anti-aircraft missile systems "Fort" and "Osa", as well as batteries of the universal caliber AK-130.

The robot "Uran-9" was created to protect personnel, withdrawing it from under enemy fire. It has a powerful armament that allows not only to hit live force and lightly armored vehicles, but also tanks, as well as other highly protected objects.

It is equipped with anti-tank guided missiles "Ataka", 30-mm automatic cannon 2A72 and 7.62-mm machine gun. "Uran-9" is able to detect the target, but the decision to defeat it is taken only by the commander, who is together with the operator in an armored kung on the basis of the chassis of the KamAZ car.

The maximum removal of the command post from the robot is 3 km. In the case of simultaneous use of four combat robots, the control range reaches 6 km. "Uran-9" is built into a single system of tactical control, having protection from unauthorized access and electronic warfare means.








The army snowmobile armed with Kalashnikov's machine gun "Pecheneg" is designed for reconnaissance and patrolling on rough terrain, as well as for the protection of various objects.

It is able to transport up to four servicemen in full equipment at the same time and cover up to 500 km in arctic conditions.

0:02 - In 1945, the United States conducted a nuclear charge test that ushered in the world about the creation of a new super-powerful weapon.

0:10 - As a result, it became necessary to detect nuclear explosions at large distances. In 1954, a special supervision department was created. And on May 13, 1958, the Special Control Service of the Ministry of Defense of the USSR.

0:27 - This service was led by Colonel Alexander Ustimenko.

0:32 - The main tasks of SCS are:
- control over nuclear tests at foreign test sites
- and monitoring compliance with the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty.

0:47 - SCS uses the following detection methods for recording nuclear explosions:
(0:54) - The Radiotechnical method. It is based on the detection of the electromagnetic pulse produced by a nuclear explosion in the atmosphere.
(1:00) - The Seismic method. It is based on the registration of seismic waves arising from a nuclear explosion and spreading over huge distances.
(1:08) - The Infrasound method. It is based on the recording of atmospheric pressure fluctuations arising from the impact of a shock wave.
(1:16) - The Magnetometric method. It is based on recording the variations of the Earth's magnetic field arising from a nuclear explosion.
(1:23) - The Radionuclide method. It is based on the registration of radioactive substances formed as a result of a nuclear explosion and propagating in the air over long distances.

1:33 - In addition to the task of detecting nuclear explosions, SCS carries out continuous monitoring of the seismic and radiation situation on Earth.

1:43 - SCS interacts with:
The Ministry of Civil Defence, Emergencies and Disaster Relief of the Russian Federation,
The Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring (Roshydromet)
and the Physical Service of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

1:50 - SCS has an extensive network of observation points consisting of special control laboratories and autonomous seismic stations located on the territory of the Russian Federation and beyond its borders.

2:04 - Information from all elements of the network through the communication channels enters the information processing center located in the city of Moscow.

2:12 - In addition to data from their laboratories, this center uses data from seismic, infrasound and radionuclide stations of the international monitoring system network. It was established as part of a comprehensive nuclear-test-ban treaty.

2:30 - The final processing and analysis of all incoming information is performed by the on-duty specialists of the processing center of the Special Control Service in continuous mode. This ensures timely submission to the leadership of the country and the armed forces of Russia of reports on nuclear weapons tests, as well as earthquakes on Earth.

2:55 - On January 6, 2016, SCS successfully registered a nuclear test by North Korea.

3:05 - SCS for determining the type of the exploded charge, air sampling was conducted by ground and air control means and also was organized processing of received samples by the specialists of the radionuclide laboratory in Moscow.

3:20 - In addition, to refine the results, the data obtained from the stations of the international monitoring system was used.

3:26 - The registration of the test and the results of the analysis of the samples were timely reported to the leadership of the country and the armed forces.

3:34 - It can be said with certainty that SCS performs its tasks qualitatively, continues to develop dynamically and carries out continuous monitoring of the nuclear silence regime both in the Russian Federation and throughout the world.

When performing the training tasks, the military pilots worked out the task of rule the helicopter to the specified route by navigational instruments in the conditions of smoke, water discharge to the fires, control of the helicopter with the maximum load on the external suspension.

The use of Mi-26 military transport helicopters with a suspended spillway system, which is controlled remotely from the operator's control panel, allows increasing the length of the irrigated fire zone from 75 to 230 m compared with its predecessor, VSU-5.

Serbian, Austrian and Russian teams are leading in international competitions of military drivers in Serbia. For Russian drivers compliance with the standards is complicated by the fact that all exercises are performed on foreign cars provided by the Serbian side.

Participants of the competition performed parking exercises and reversible movement maneuvers in a confined space, as well as parallel parking. The most difficult stage was the movement of the car in reverse in a limited zigzag track.
