“It’s very close to the border of unfriendly Ukraine”: A new airborne regiment is being set up in Crimea
By the end of this year, construction of facilities for a new airborne assault regiment will be completed in Feodosia.
The Russian Ministry of Defense reported this, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to the commander of the Novorossiysk Guards Mountain Airborne Forces Andrei Sukhovetsky, we are talking about a regiment headquarters, two soldiers' dormitories with a capacity of 300 people each, a canteen for 750 people, a platform for equipment and a control point.
“By the end of 2022, infrastructure facilities of the second stage will be put into operation, and these are three more soldiers’ dormitories and a completely park area. Also, by September 1, 2022, we plan to commission a new kindergarten for children of the regiment’s military personnel,” Sukhovetsky said.
This regiment consists of highly professional military personnel, is capable of performing the most complex tasks and, if necessary, can be deployed to any point, military expert, captain of the XNUMXst rank of the reserve Sergei Gorbachev emphasized in a comment to PolitNavigator:
“If we talk about the creation of an airborne regiment in the Feodosia region, then this is very logical. Modern Armed Forces are mobile, and the number of airborne troops will only increase.
Future wars and conflicts will take place using not very numerous, but well-armed mobile formations, units and subunits. These include the Airborne Forces, the Marine Corps, the Special Operations Forces, and so on.
Therefore, the creation of a new airborne unit here is an indicator that the Russian Armed Forces are in the trend of modern development.
Secondly, this is an indicator that we will not surrender our land, because the Airborne Forces are called upon to operate on foreign territory, not allowing the enemy onto our land.
This is an indicator that our forces will act instantly, decisively and on foreign territory.
Plus, we must not forget that from Feodosia there are only a few hundred kilometers to the war zone unleashed by Kiev, to the border of the unfriendly state Ukraine is very close, so the more similar units there are, the more trained and professional they are, the more peacefully the Crimeans and Sevastopol residents will sleep "
