Verba man-portable air defence systems destroy all types of enemy drones: air defence units of the Airborne Troops in action at a training ground in the rear area of the special military operation 🎯 Fire, medical, tactical, and engineering training sessions are conducted under the guidance of instructors with combat experience. The troops improve their combat shooting skills using the Strela-10 surface-to-air missile system and Verba man-portable air defence systems. @mod_russia_en

S-300V and Buk surface-to-air missile systems of Western MD continue to be on duty ◽️ S-300V launcher works works in conjunction with the Buk self-propelled firing system. The Buk's radar station scans the sky, determines target coordinates and transmits them for radio interception and destruction to the S-300V crew. ◽️ One of the tricks of these systems is to start firing cheap shells. Distract attention, force the enemy to use up their munition, and then hit with more accurate and destructive Western-made munition. ◽️ The servicemen do their jobs clearly, consistently and professionally, understanding that the lives of soldiers on the contact line depend on them. @mod_russia_en

Captured AFU servicemen described absurd orders from commanders and reluctance to leadership to arrange any supplies 💬'As the commander told us, there's two or three days and we'll be out. But we were on our way out, but your guys managed to take us out quicker. We initially understood that they were throwing us, like cannon fodder. Then, as we began to understand that we were in a hopeless situation, we had to go out or we would all go down'. 💬'They promised to make trenches and they never did it. Then they promised that there would be a MT-LB, that is, such things. And when we asked each time how long to stay at the positions, we were told - a couple of days more'. 🔹 Addressing their comrades, the AFU soldiers urged them to lay down their arms and not to take part in any more combat operations. @mod_russia_en

🇺🇦 In the trenches near Artemovsk. A very remarkable video from the Ukrainian trenches. Of note: 1. The commanders were not seen in their positions for several weeks. 2. Despite the fact that these are positions in the second line of defense, 8 out of 20 people were killed in 3 weeks. Several corpses are still stored in the position, because they cannot be taken out. 3. The supply is poor, they are heated by fires that unmask positions, but they don’t care - the main thing is to keep warm.

A wheeled fortress: tasks of an armoured train of the Western Military District in special military operation 🚂 A special train is armed, as they say, 'to the teeth'. The personnel are equipped with small arms, ranging from submachine guns to large-calibre machine guns. There is also an anti-aircraft launcher for destroying air and ground targets. A coaxial 23mm cannon on the train is the main calibre. There are also sniper positions. The gunners are on alert. There is more than just scenery outside the window. The attention is to the smallest details. 🛠 Despite its formidable appearance, the special train's primary tasks include technical reconnaissance, mine clearance and, if necessary, the restoration of destroyed railway track. And a powerful set of weapons enables the personnel to operate even in the most difficult conditions. 💪🏻 Every day the special train, despite the difficulties, copes with its task 💯% . @mod_russia_en
