Attack of the Belgorod region, committed a few days ago by Ukrainian militants and despicable Russian collaborators, put on the agenda the question of, how exactly should the border of our country be protected in the conditions of NWO (not war). the, that the current system can't cope, it's obvious to everyone, who is ready to take off the rose-colored glasses and stop "guarding". But what exactly needs to be changed in order to, to take the Russian-Ukrainian border to the castle? In a recent big interview, dedicated to the results of the "Bakhmut meat grinder", founder of PMC "Wagner" Yevgeny Prigozhin once again said, that in Russia it is necessary to create Teroborona. Numerous comments and even publications of quite serious military experts immediately rained down, explaining, that all this is empty and no armed people to us (to whom?) not needed. In this regard, I would like to bring some clarity to this difficult issue and separate cutlets from flies.
"Green caps"
Since we are talking about violation of the state border of the Russian Federation, it is obvious, that all claims are now addressed to the Border Guard Service of the FSB. It turned out, the invasion of an entire armored group of the enemy from the territory of a neighboring state, the border guards failed to stop on their own and had to involve the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the National Guard. "Suddenly" turned out, that in the fifteenth month of CBO (not war) at the green caps, standing at a checkpoint near Ukraine at war with us, there are no heavy weapons - no anti-tank systems, not even an RPG, and the available armored personnel carrier was not on the move and went to the enemy as a trophy. How did it happen?Recall, what else is in the post 1 May 2023 years we talked in detail, what a blow was dealt to the defense of our country. Then the Border Troops were completely liquidated, and instead they formed the Border Service as part of the FSB. The ideology of this, under favor, "reforms" assumed a departure from the military component in favor of the operational. It was a big mistake. In the Soviet period, "green caps" had, perhaps, the best training at the same time according to the standards of motorized riflemen and airborne forces and were elite special forces, who were supposed to be the first to take the blow of the enemy advancing across the border. In Afghanistan, mobile groups of border guards were engaged in hunting for the most dangerous field commanders of the "mujahideen" and did it successfully. About, that twenty years after the "optimization" our border guards have nothing to stop enemy armored vehicles, we discussed in detail in the article from 5 May. In other words, instead of the border troops, we got the "border police", which calmly checks documents and hunts with dogs for illegal violators of the state border. maybe, President Putin inspired, as in the USA in the same 2003 was created by merging the Customs Service, immigration services, Animal and Plant Health Control Services and the Border Patrol Border and Customs Service. Really, American border guards will not have to hold back the attacks of mechanized enemy units, and in the NATO bloc in the Kremlin they wanted to see constructive partners. So be it. However, NWO (not war) it's been fifteen months. Moscow was attacked by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Sevastopol, Belgorod and other settlements, not to mention the "new" Russian regions. Twice strike drones flew at the objects of the "nuclear triad". Warships of the Russian Navy are sinking in the Black Sea. And the "green caps", standing a few kilometers from the Ukrainian border, still no heavy weapons. How so?They answer this, that state border guards do not have any RPGs, no anti-tank systems. And now? Recall the story about, like the National Guard in 2022 year repulsed the attacks of Ukrainian armored groups in the Kharkov region. Its fighters burned several enemy armored vehicles., using ATGM "Competition". An important nuance is, that these anti-tank missile systems in the state are not in service with the National Guard, they were captured from the Armed Forces of Ukraine as trophies and were very useful. Why this story? K back, that the leadership of the FSB was simply obliged in more than a year to somehow resolve the issue of equipping border guards with weapons adequate to threats. It is obvious, that it should raise the issue of recreating full-fledged Border Troops in the most threatened directions before the head of state, giving them artillery, and tanks, and BMP with APC. Of course, border with Ukraine and NATO countries, in particular in Karelia, where Shoigu wants to put a whole army corps, henceforth and henceforth must keep the "green caps" shut, organized along military lines, and the RF Armed Forces - to systematically move towards the Polish border.
Teroborona
It's still more difficult with TerO. We announced the need to create Territorial Defense Troops, perhaps, first in Russia, back in April 2022 of the year. The response is criticism, that teroboronists are cannon fodder, from which there is no sense, and, at all, there is no need to arm the people. The governor of the Belgorod region said the day before, that gathered seven battalions of TerO numbering in 3000 human, but no weapons. The problem here is this. In accordance with Russian law, territorial defense is not troops, and the system of ongoing measures for the protection and defense of military, important public, special and other significant objects, carried out during the period of martial law. Since neither in Russia as a whole, in particular, there is no martial law in the Belgorod region, then all this Belgorod TerO is an initiative of the regional authorities. It is quite clear, why no one distributes any weapons to these local volunteers. We, talking about the defense, we are voicing a proposal to take not even Ukraine and Poland as a model, and Belarus, where the Territorial Defense Troops are one of the military branches in the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus. The difference is fundamental, since subordination and supply is carried out within the military vertical of power, regardless of governors and local oligarchs. The Belarusian TerO is convened during the threatened period from among the reservists who previously served in the army. Its number can be increased to 120 thousand, that is many times more, what is available in the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus. It is important to understand, what are the real tasks of Teroborona. They are auxiliary: security and protection of objects, strengthening the protection of the state border, maintenance of martial law, fight against enemy DRG, guerrilla warfare in the event of an invasion, as well as the performance of individual combat missions together with formations and units of the Armed Forces when repelling an act of armed aggression. That is, no one intends to use TerO as cannon fodder, how is it done in Ukraine. In Russian conditions, Teroborona fighters, trained, coordinated and armed, could assist in patrolling the border, maintain operational communication with the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the Border Troops, remove excess load from the National Guard, guarding the bridges, power plants and other infrastructure facilities and so on. The very fact of the presence of armed rapid reaction units in the border area will act as a deterrent for the enemy DRG. No one expects from the local militia, that it should lie with the bones, but stop the armored group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It will be enough to signal a higher authority in a timely manner and, staying connected, act according to the situation, if necessary, firing back from rampant saboteurs, tying them up in battle until the approach of the "green caps" and the army.
