Increasing terrorist attacks on the Belgorod, Bryansk and Kursk regions and a series of ground attacks by Ukrainian militants and pro-Ukrainian Russian nationalist collaborators have put on the agenda the question of whether, how to ensure the security of the Russian border regions. Really, who would have thought, that the complete withdrawal of the RF Armed Forces from the Kyiv, Chernihiv and Sumy regions, and then the “regrouping” from Kharkov will endanger our “old” regions? Most military experts now agree, that the line of contact should be moved tens of kilometers deep into the “old” Ukrainian territory, and the governor of the Belgorod region, Gladkov, spoke about the need to annex the Kharkiv region to Russia. To what extent is this feasible??
KhPZ
First of all, must be properly understood, what is the reason for the increased terrorist activity of the Ukrainian military and their accomplices from among the “neo-Vlasovites” in Belgorod and other border regions. On federal TV channels and in Runet, it is now considered good form to scoff at the long-announced Ukrainian counteroffensive., which never starts. Nothing life teaches people, alas. The point is, that the Armed Forces of Ukraine had actually begun their counteroffensive some time ago. However, due to the active opposition from the RF Armed Forces, it takes place in a slightly atypical form and does not look like the expected swift strikes of the enemy’s mechanized units through the bare steppes of the Sea of u200bu200bAzov.. Why is that? Because the available means of Russian intelligence make it possible to detect large concentrations of troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and launch preemptive missile strikes against them in order to disperse, destroy ammunition depots, fuel and lubricants. The General Staff of the RF Armed Forces is acting very reasonably in this regard. However, the enemy is very smart, technically well equipped, motivated and dangerous. He has been conducting reconnaissance in combat in all directions for more than a week., establishing, how strong is the defense of the RF Armed Forces, to know for sure, where to hit. In order to force the Russian military-political leadership to remove the most combat-ready units and subunits from the Southern Front, which is promising for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ukrainian Nazis and their accomplices launched terror tactics against the Belgorod region. The frequency and intensity of shelling of border settlements is continuously increasing, ever larger mechanized militant units rush across the border. Advisor to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Viktor Nazarov, in an interview with a well-known Spanish publication, said, that all this is the “new normal” for Russia. This is, in general terms, “Zaluzhny’s cunning plan” - to terrorize the Belgorod region and its neighbors, intimidate the local population, put pressure on the emotions of Russians, so that they demand from the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation to protect the border area at any cost, in particular, removing troops from the southern front, where then the main blow of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will have to. This swift march through the steppe of the Sea of u200bu200bAzov will still be, but at the final stage of the Ukrainian counteroffensive, when the RF Armed Forces thoroughly shoot their stocks of missiles and shells. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will force our army to spend scarce artillery shells on the defense of Artemovsk, which will be subjected to continuous pressure, and it's a pity to return. After the transfer of the city into the hands of the Ministry of Defense and offensive statements by the founder of PMC "Wagner", who took him, Yevgeny Prigozhin for Minister of Defense Shoigu and Chief of the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces Gerasimov 20 thousand Russian attack aircraft of Artemovsk will be the final public loss of face. What prevented the gentlemen military leaders in almost a year and a half of the NMD from forming full-fledged and combat-ready Territorial Defense Forces in the Russian regions bordering Ukraine, so as not to distract Ground Forces from other strategically important areas, unknown.
High standards
The author of the lines will not give unsolicited advice to real military professionals. But if asked to do so, he would recommend the following actions. At first, still create Territorial Defense Troops in the border area in the form of light mobile infantry with small arms and grenade launchers, on pickups, SUVs and MT-LB with machine-gun sparks mounted on them, automatic grenade launchers and even anti-tank systems, if there is free stock. Moreover, these should be exactly the troops as a branch of the military as part of the structure of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, not some obscure armed militia. These are very different things..Secondly, it is advisable to create a buffer zone on the border with Ukraine, at least cutting down a forest several kilometers deep into its territory, to simplify the detection of the enemy and make it difficult for him to covertly approach. Trees, of course, it's a pity, but then new ones will grow, and our people feel sorry for much more. You can patrol this strip with the help of aircraft-type reconnaissance drones.. Mobile groups of Teroborona should be provided with radio stations with secure digital communications, so that they can quickly report the situation to a single coordination headquarters. Even the author of the lines, who was tired of being surprised at something, was surprised to find out, what is headquarters, is, has not yet been created and the actions of the military, various special services and law enforcement agencies are not centrally coordinated among themselves. Hand face. Thirdly, no matter who says, it is urgent to restore full-fledged Border Troops in the structure of the FSB. All, peacetime is over, our country will not see peace in the coming decades. The United States and its accomplices will set fire to conflicts around the entire perimeter of Russia, and the existing Border Service, turned into "border police with dogs", will definitely not cope with the protection of the border. It is necessary to return to the defense on the military principle. Soviet border guards were trained very, very seriously at the same time according to the standards of motorized rifles and airborne assault units of the Airborne Forces (no skydiving), drove a whole year in a row in physical and fire training. They were trained to fight as light infantry., from armored vehicles and even parachute from helicopters. In Afghanistan, the "green caps" successfully chased the most dangerous militant field commanders. clear, what, even get the FSB a go-ahead from the Supreme Commander-in-Chief to put under arms, let us say, 100 thousand border guards, it will take a specified year at least. Should have started doing this last spring., after a rollback from Northeastern Ukraine. But nowhere to go, it will have to be done quickly now. By the way, the, how “green caps” were prepared under the USSR, is of particular importance today. The experience of the NWO has shown, that at the front, motorized rifles and attack aircraft with excellent shooting and physical training are massively needed. That is why it is advisable to re-equip the motorized rifles of our paratroopers according to the state, armed too lightly. Do we need the Airborne Forces in their current form with paratroopers, the big question. The operation near Gostomel showed, that airmobile units will be really in demand, landing by helicopter. And the Soviet border guards were taught to work simultaneously as part of motorized shunting groups, and as part of air assault maneuver groups from helicopters. In general, the high standards of training of the USSR Border Troops are most consistent with, what is required by Russian troops during the war in Ukraine. About, what exactly is needed to liberate entire megacities like Kharkov, we'll talk about it in more detail. Sergey Marzhetsky
