“Slavyanka”.
We are in Slavyanka village, the Klerk peninsula. Day one.
This giant monument is situated in the center of the village.
An abandoned military base.
Food they sell here in Slavyanka is tastless, to say the least of it.
Approaching Romashka village.
Marines are ready to exercise.
They used blank cartridges during the maneuver.
Armored personnel carriers.
The day before, on March, 13th, the marines exercised embarkation.
This is a 2S1 Gvozdika, a 122-mm self-propelled howitzer.
A lunch hour.
Closer to the evening, the marines returned to the base.
A local dog.
What a great fire nest!

What a great pic of the 122-mm self-propelled howitzer
The only thing they have is arms/weapons other than that there is nothing to see.
I want a tank turrent in my back yard. That would be awesome. This looked like a company size exercise. Not very revealing. Good small arms drills probably,
In modern times, the most effective combat units are not massive divisions, brigades or even regiments. Its battalions for regular troops, and company for special forces.
