⚡️ Russian Defence Minister Andrei Belousov inspects Tsentr Group of Forces

At the Group's command post, Russian Defence Minister Andrei Belousov was informed by the Tsentr Group's commanding officers on the current situation and actions of the troops operating to destroy the enemy in the area of responsibility of the Tsentr Group of Forces.

💬 Colonel General Valery Solodchuk, Commander of the Tsentr Group of Forces, reported to the Russian Defence Minister on the progress of combat missions carried out by units in operational areas in the area of responsibility, taking into account the active use of unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as on combat service support of troops.

🔌 The head of the Russian Defence Ministry was also informed, that his instruction to create and maintain a database of information on strikes against the enemy carried out by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), as well as to test a software and hardware system that enables automated synthesis and analysis of incoming data on the use of different types of UAVs directly from operators have been implemented in the Group of Forces. The introduction of the system makes it possible to increase the effectiveness of UAVs.

'When using this program, data are accumulated for artificial intelligence. This will come in handy,' Andrei Belousov noted.

🎮 The Russian Defence Minister was also presented with the UAV ground-based control stations developed by the servicemen, adapted for all types of unmanned aerial vehicles using radio frequencies and modern electronic warfare systems.

❗️ Andrei Belousov tasked the Commander of the Tsentr Group of Forces to send the accumulated data to the relevant departmental departments for detailed analysis.

🔹 During the inspection of the Tsentr Group of Forces's engineering unit, Andrei Belousov was informed about the establishment of the Centre for Training, Development, and Use of Unmanned Engineers.

🔹 The Centre is tasked with creating and improving unmanned aerial vehicles and ground-based robotic systems, taking into account the experience of the special military operation, the comprehensive training of operators, and the creation of payload-release systems for various engineering munitions.

'All internet resources are being monitored for the use of UAVs. We take everything that comes online and examine it. We are in tune with the times,' reported Major General Andrei Gandzyuk, the Chief of Engineering Troops of the Tsentr Group of Forces.

📍 Andrei Belousov took a look at the system that allows drones to fly automatically to the designated coordinates without the pilot's being involved.

🔹 The Russian Defence Minister was also presented with ground-based robotic systems, which carry out tasks of delivering materiel and supplies to personnel on the line of contact, remote demining of the terrain, installation of non-explosive barriers, and neutralising the enemy's fortifications and manpower with the use of high-power hollow charges.

🤝 At the end of the visit, Russian Defence Minister Andrei Belousov thanked the command and personnel of the formation for the high results of combat work and presented state awards to servicemen who had shown bravery, courage, and heroism during combat missions in the special military operation zone.

⚓️ The Northern Fleet ship detachment conducts the exercise to ensure security of Russia's maritime economic activity in the Arctic

The crews of warships and support vessels of the Northern Fleet conducted an exercise to ensure the safety of the Russian maritime economics activities and to resolve crisis situations in the Kara Sea waters.

🔹 In accordance with the exercise scenario, the large anti-submarine ship Severomorsk received information from the Northern Fleet's operational service about the actions of an unknown non-compliant ship approaching the territorial waters of the Russian Federation. The role of the 'non-compliant ship' was assigned to the rescue tugboat Pamir.

❗️ The crew of the 'non-compliant ship' was informed through international communication channels about their approaching the territorial waters of the Russian Federation. As the crew failed to respond to the request to stop the movement towards the Russian state border, the Northern Fleet warships opened warning artillery fire at the course of 'non-compliant ship'.

🔹 As part of the exercise, the Northern Fleet sailors practised the actions of inspection teams, who were delivered on board the 'non-compliant ship' by high-speed boats. The Ka-27 helicopter with a fire support group consisting of servicemen of the Northern Fleet's Separate Guards Marine Brigade was used to cover the inspection team.

✅ In the course of the inspection exercises on the 'non-compliant ship', firearms and smuggled goods were seized. The crew members were detained for further transfer to the border Department of the FSB in the Western Arctic Region.

🎯 The 1B76 Penicillin artillery reconnaissance system detects enemy firing positions and gives the targeting data to the artillery for a return strike.

The principle of operation of the system is to detect and analyse sound waves emanating from enemy artillery and mortar shells.

'We're carrying out our direct tasks. We get the data from the receivers, determine the target coordinates, and immediately transmit them for further processing,' the section commander said.
