Most precise work: Eastern Military District's artillery units defeat the enemy in a special military operation ◽️ The 2C5 Giatsint self-propelled gun is one of the most powerful cannons in service. The Eastern Military District's artillerymen work with pinpoint accuracy and are certain to destroy selected targets, including AFU strongholds deep in the line of engagement. ◽️ The 2S5's armoured hull shields the crew from bullets and shrapnel. Because the self-propelled vehicle has exceptional cross-country mobility and agility, it is simple to shift its location. Its built-in bulldozer machinery allows it to dig a trench swiftly. Moving from firing position to firing position takes around 4 minutes. 📐 Unmanned aerial aircraft are used to adjust the fire. @russia_mod_en

Fighters are doing their best: mobilised motorised riflemen of the Central Military District undergo training 🪖 Training at the fire ranges is in full swing. The Central Military District's motorised riflemen, enlisted as part of the partial mobilization, continue to hone their combat skills. The emphasis is on unambiguous, well-coordinated actions in pairs and as part of groups. The soldiers are practising tactical shooting elements such as changing leaders and moving fire cover. 🤝 The training is conducted jointly with infantry fighting vehicle crews to practise offensive engagement. The IFV delivers riflemen to a given area, personnel dismount from the vehicle on the move, and deploy a combat formation to advance deep into enemy defences under cover of the fighting vehicle. ◽️ In addition, the troops practise shooting at waist and shoulder-point targets from a standing position at a distance of up to 200 metres. This is one of the final stages of the combat unit cohesion. @mod_russia_en

Mobilised servicemen continue intensive combat training at Southern MD's training grounds in Rostov region 💥The mobilized personnel improve their skills in small arms tactical shooting at a specially equipped area with walls, passages, corridors and window openings to shoot at targets from various positions at ranges of 15 to 70 meters with changes in firing position. ◽️ Firearms Training is a special feature for the soldiers to practice shooting accuracy by selecting the most dangerous target and conducting reconnaissance of the engagement. #StrongerTogether @mod_russia_en

Electromagnetic warfare and Signals intelligence complexes Leer-3 of Western MD practise within special military operation ◻️ The Leer-3 system is set on Orlan-10 UAVs and suppresses GSM communications by jamming them. The drones are equipped with radio signal transmitters that mimic the operation of GSM base networks. ◽ This kind of equipment counteracts the use of any subscriber terminals and allows complete blocking of cellular networks. @mod_russia_en

Specialists from the Western MD's Signal Troops ensure reliable communications within special military operation ◽️ The servicemenol of the Signal Troops perform their tasks despite artillery and mortar bombardment and win in electronic warfare. The uninterrupted communications are achieved through the personal courage, dedication and professionalism. @mod_russia_en
