Army of the Russian Federation for the first time preparing a "AS" s

For the Russian Army for the first time in its history the Arctic prepare professional shooters. Currently, the only Russian group of students undergoing training in Blagoveshchensk based DVVKU - Far Eastern Higher Command School. It is assumed that for action in the Arctic fighters formed in the Russian arctic crews will use a special military equipment and weapons that can withstand even the most severe frosts. Given the fact that the length of the Russian Arctic coast is 22, 6 thous. Km, which is more than 2 times the length of the Arctic coast of the rest of the world, the need for deployment of such units becomes clear.





Frost and strong wind - almost like in the Arctic. Today, weather conditions in Russia's Amur region in many ways similar to the polar. No coincidence that the Far Eastern Higher Military Command School in September 2013 adopted new students who began training in the specialty "Application of mechanized infantry units in the Arctic." Currently, there is such a profession in a single Russian university. Since conditions Amur region simply do not have the polar night, up to 30% of educational and field training future Arctic motorized infantry carried out at night.
According to the head DVVKU Vladimir Gryzlov, specialty "Application of mechanized infantry units in the Arctic" was opened for the first time in Russian history. Prior to September 1, 2013 the profession did not exist. This is quite an important political decision. In recent years, the world's attention somehow drawn to the Arctic zone, which are the main natural resources. Today, the Arctic tend to even those states that geographic its location can not qualify for the natural wealth of this region of the planet. At the same time the length of the borders of the Russian Arctic is very large, so the country is experiencing a need for professionals who would be able to ensure their safety. At the same time this should be done in a fairly difficult climatic conditions. The climate in the Amur region in terms of the presence of strong winds and freezing temperatures close to the Arctic, so to train Arctic shooters was decided here. This curriculum for cadets still provide practical training in the Arctic.
Only the entire Russian arctic group of shooters, which is preparing in Blagoveshchensk, has so far only 30 people. These trainees will learn how to use special combat equipment and weapons that will be able to withstand severe arctic cold. That's been going on for more than two months students learn engineering design, explosive matter, medical care in the permafrost. Very soon these guys waiting for service in the place where the sun does not happen in 6 months, the thermometer can sometimes fall to the level of -60 degrees Celsius. Cadets in the future is waiting for the most distant borders of our country, and it is - the most crucial. However, young people are not afraid of these difficulties, in part because of the special romance, and, of course, because of the new prospects. There is a service in the Far North, and a direct benefit - higher wages and greater seniority (1 year of service is counted as 3).



Especially for training kursantov- "Arctic", as they have already named in DVVKU, higher education institutions have a special service. On arms arctic marksmen will be only those machine guns and grenade launchers that can withstand the harsh conditions in the service of the Russian Arctic. This special interest in the future officers-polar is a new domestic 12, 7-mm sniper rifle "Cord", which is able not only to easily penetrate the armor armored personnel carriers, but also to withstand temperatures down to -50 degrees Celsius. This is the minimum that has been confirmed as a result of the tests. As noted by Dmitry Sokolov, Lecturer, Department of weapons and military equipment School, a new sniper rifle has a very high reliability. "Cord" - a non-automatic rifle, after the production of each shot, it must be recharged. All the energy is used for the propellant gases of a bullet.
For many years a fixture in equipment of military units stationed in the north, was skiing. But, as considered in the school, one ski is no longer enough for a successful combat missions in the Arctic. Today becomes increasingly important speed. Therefore, to move the Arctic shooters loose deep snow, it was decided to use snowmobiles "Buran". At present, future officers are trained on 3 snowmobiles that belong to the border guards, but soon the balance of the high school will be required to enroll 10 new high-speed snowmobile.



The practice of cadets began recently, for this reason, they are, in spite of the mistakes, get on the teachings rated "good." However, as assured command of the school, the future requirements for the cadets will become tougher. After all, these guys in the future to be up in arms to defend Russia's interests in this complex region, as is the Arctic.
It is expected that the Russian Army will receive a minimum of two mechanized infantry brigade of the Arctic. According to previously published data, the first of which should be established in 2015. It is reported that stationed Russian arctic crews will Murmansk and Arkhangelsk. Initially, it said that the first compound in the Russian army for operations in Arctic conditions will be created on the basis of the 200th separate motorized rifle brigade, which is based in Pechenga. Create it planned before the end of 2011. However, in future periods have been shifted to 2015. At this point, the Russian arctic arrows should receive a full range of forward-looking machinery, which can be used in difficult Arctic conditions.



In 2013, this technology is actively being tested. Appliances equipment Arctic crews, who will serve in the high latitudes, tested on the Norwegian border near the village of Pechenga. According to the press service of the Defense Ministry of Russia, Pechenga actively carried out various research trials of new samples snegobolotohodnoy technology, which has capacity up to 4 tons, in particular, we are talking about cars GAZ-3351, DT-3P and 3P-TTM.
For example, the new tracked terrain vehicle GAZ-3351 is able to carry up to 2, 5 tons of various cargoes, or 16 Arctic shooters. Car TTM-3P is used as a light amphibious and is intended to transport personnel of the combat units. Floating DT-3P armored vehicle was originally developed for use in areas in which there are almost no roads. However, even in conditions of total off-road vehicle able to reach a speed at 60 km / h, and its travel distance it is up to 700 km. All prototypes are floating and two-tier, that is, there is a real opportunity for them to attach a variety of trailers. All of these forward-looking samples of military equipment, unlike their civilian "colleagues" were designed so that they can carry a variety of weapons systems.
