In 2008-2009, this base has been rearmed but very little has changed since then.
Now the base has its own firing ground for soldiers to master their firing proficiency.
The majority of the soldiers have new 6B2kh helmets while some still have to wear old SSh-68M helmets.
They shoot in the direction of the sea and when a boat shows up on the horizon they have to take a break.

The SV-98, a Russian bolt action sniper rifle, is used by contract soldiers while the rest have to use SVD-S sniper rifles.

They plan to build a separate building for simulators because right now they are situated in an airshed which belonged to Bamboura Airdrome.

Information stands.
“Shooting from KPVT and PKT machine guns”.
This simulator is to prepare tank commanders and gunlayers.
The base features an up-to-date T-90A simulator which can be used for training the entire crew simultaneously. However, they can’t use it yet because necessary settings haven’t been made.

The uniform set Permyachka was designed in 2008.
One of the components of the uniform is a smock.
It has a bunch of zippers which makes it convenient to wear.
An inside pocket.
The smocks the base received were of the same size.
An unzipped trouser leg.
Metal fasteners become rusty quickly.
A sleeve.
Elbow protection.
A shortened glove.
Occupied territory
By muslims, right?
Oh so its occupied territory now, is it?!! But Kosovo isn’t occupied, it was merely liberated by the glorious forces of NATO. Totally makes sense.
So.? U mad brah…?
Not more! Now its free from the georgian occupation!
I did not realize Abkhazia was part of the Russian Federation…….
It’s not.
I have been in Abkhazia last year and Russia’s presence is definitly questionable. Officially as CIS peacekeeper, but practically the only force there. Navy ships patrolling, tanks and trucks driving around with Russia soldiers..
Who did you expect? The Canadians?!!
Besides, what peacekeeping force in the world isn’t made up of military forces.
wooow nice facilities,…better than in switzerland!!
Russia is a MILITARY complex period.
The number of Russias active military personnel account for less than 1% of the population. Russias annual defence spending is less than 4% of its GDP. Yet, according to you Russia is completely militarized.
I think I saw that tankers outfit with all the zippers at Old navy.
Occupants.
