Fighter crews practice the tasks of air patrolling in a given area and covering the actions of bomber and attack aircraft, as well as army aviation helicopters during air strikes on military facilities and equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Flights of Russian Aerospace Forces fighters are carried out with suspended missiles of various classes. When an air target is detected, the pilots identify it, and if it is an enemy, they destroy it with missile weapons. “We carry out combat missions. On commands from the command post, we occupy the duty zone in the air. When a target is detected, we launch air-to-air guided missiles. We often hit enemy unmanned aerial vehicles. The duty is carried out on a permanent basis around the clock,” said Alexander, one of the Su-27 fighter pilots. “The real combat qualities of the pilot are manifested in the zone of the NMD. Now the younger generation of flight personnel is coming to our units, looking at our combat comrades, adopting combat experience from them and striving for the successful completion of combat missions,” he stressed.

A special train, created by military personnel of the railway troops of the Western Military District (ZVO), is involved in the zone of the special military operation. The composition has an armored coating, weapons are placed on the platforms, and the latest equipment, shelters for firing and repelling enemy attacks. The train is intended for technical reconnaissance, demining, as well as the restoration of the railway track and small artificial structures with minor damage. For safety reasons, the locomotive is located in the middle of the train, otherwise the first blow can disable the locomotive. The tail and head of the special train are mirrored. Armored capsules are located in the tail and head of the train. Special cars are protected by steel 10, and somewhere 20 millimeters thick, inside they are lined with sandbags. This is a real armored train, armed, as they say, "to the teeth." The personnel of the train have small arms: from a machine gun to a heavy machine gun, they also have an anti-aircraft gun for destroying air and ground targets. The twin 23 mm cannon on the train is the main caliber. There are also sniper positions. Everyone who travels on this train is under reliable protection. “During the movement, we detect low-flying air targets with the ability to destroy up to 1.5 km, also fortified positions, ground lightly armored vehicles with the ability to destroy up to 2.5 km,” said Vyacheslav, head of the anti-aircraft installation. Despite its formidable appearance, first of all, the list of the main tasks of the special train includes technical reconnaissance, mine clearance, and, if necessary, the restoration of destroyed road directions. A powerful weapon system allows personnel to operate even in the most difficult conditions. Also, the task of the special train is to ensure the safety of echelons with various cargoes, personnel and equipment. “The main task of the special train is to conduct technical reconnaissance of the railway section, escort cargo, restore destroyed sections, tracks and artificial structures ... Reflection during an attack by the DRG - we have personnel for this. The cover platform comes first. Its main task is to take a hit on itself when explosive devices are triggered. It contains materials for the upper structure of the tracks, which allow us to restore the destroyed sections as soon as possible, if we come across such ones,” said Sergey, the head of the special train. In the zone of the special military operation, the personnel ensure the safety of movement, not only of military echelons. If necessary, a special train of the railway troops of the Western Military District can provide reliable cover for trains with civilians.

Crews of Grad multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) of the Southern Military District continue to perform combat missions in the special military operation zone. 122-mm Gradov rockets hit strongholds and command posts, areas of concentration of manpower, heavy equipment, artillery and mortar batteries of the enemy. Every day, MLRS crews perform from 10 to 25 fire missions. After firing a volley, combat vehicles covertly change position, reload and strike again.

At the training ground of the combined arms army of the Eastern Military District in the Primorsky Territory, practical exercises in combat training are being held with mobilized military personnel.

Su-25 attack aircraft provide direct support to ground units over the battlefield with direct line of sight of the target, both day and night, and also destroy enemy objects with given coordinates around the clock and in any weather conditions. Performing another combat mission, the Su-25 pilots, acting in pairs, launched several missile attacks on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from low altitudes, destroying camouflaged firing points, manpower and armored vehicles of the enemy. The crews successfully completed the combat mission and returned to the base airfield, where the aircraft ground handling specialists promptly prepared the Su-25 attack aircraft for a new flight. The pilots and technical staff of the operational-tactical aviation of the Eastern Military District spoke about the practical combat work: “When you work in the same rhythm for a long time, you get used to everything. When the enemy launches missiles at us, the wingman warns the leader, and also covers him. I would say it is a matter of habit,” said the Su-25 pilot with the call sign “Precise”. “Special attention is required to control the equipment of the aircraft, ammunition and the closing of all hatches, hatches. If an emergency situation arises, there is a spare aircraft, which is equipped and always ready for a combat sortie, ”said Sergey Shubin, head of the technical and operational part of the airfield. “Without a rear, equipment will not rise into the air,” said Evgeny, the driver of a special vehicle. “I fill the equipment with air so that the planes are always prepared on time and can complete the combat mission,” he specified.

Crews of the MLRS "Uragan" of the units of the missile forces and artillery of the Air Defense Forces continue to strike at positions, accumulations of equipment and manpower of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the South Donetsk direction. Target detection and fire adjustment is carried out using unmanned aerial vehicles in real time. After inflicting fire damage on the enemy, the missilemen immediately begin to change positions, clarify and perform the following tasks. Military personnel of the missile forces and artillery of the Eastern Military District tell about the performance of combat missions: “We work with unmanned aerial vehicles that detect targets and transmit them to our control center, which reduces the time for transmitting commands and we immediately open fire,” said the commander of the MLRS battery with the call sign “Southern ". “The last target is ammo trucks. We destroyed them, objective control confirmed this,” he summed up. “For seven months of combat work, we traveled more than ten thousand kilometers,” says the MLRS driver with the call sign “Shved”. “The car is trouble-free, minor breakdowns happen, but everything is fixed very quickly. The car does not fail, everything is in order! ”, - he says.

From the State Test Cosmodrome of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation (Plesetsk Cosmodrome) in the Arkhangelsk Region, combat crews of the Aerospace Forces of the Aerospace Forces launched a Soyuz-2.1b medium-class launch vehicle with a spacecraft (SC) in the interests of the Russian Ministry of Defense. The launch of the carrier rocket and the launch of the spacecraft into the calculated orbit took place in the normal mode. After launch, the Soyuz-2.1b launch vehicle was taken for escort by means of the ground-based automated control complex of the Main Test Space Center named after German Titov. At the estimated time, the spacecraft was launched into the target orbit by the upper stage "Fregat" and accepted for control of ground-based facilities of the space forces of the Aerospace Forces. A stable telemetry connection has been established and maintained with the spacecraft. The onboard systems of the spacecraft are functioning normally. The spacecraft was assigned the serial number Kosmos-2564. After the spacecraft was launched into orbit, officers of the Main Space Intelligence Center of the Space Forces of the Aerospace Forces entered information about it into the Main Catalog of Space Objects of the Russian Space Control System and began to analyze and process information about the new space object.

Russian servicemen, who are part of the regional grouping of troops, continue the course of intensive combat training at the training grounds of the armed forces of the Republic of Belarus. Combat training and combat coordination classes are held during the day and at night for units of the Western Military District. Despite the weather conditions, Russian military personnel perform combat training tasks every day. They improve their shooting skills, hitting targets that imitate firing points and manpower of a mock enemy. From the AGS-17 "Flame" grenade launchers, the fighters fire from an open firing position. It gives the gunner the best visibility and firepower. First, with single shots—the seniors at the training site fix the hits and make adjustments to the work—then in bursts, until the ammunition is completely consumed. From the beginning of the formation of the allied group of troops in Belarus, military personnel of the Western Military District often work in pairs. They refer to their combat as "two," and they believe that constant training is the key to this. Combat coordination as part of the crews is also carried out by tankers. They are still shooting from a specific location at targets with a tank gun. Training in martial arts takes place according to the principle “from simple to complex."
