Russian ‘Mobilized Freshmen’ Now Undergo Training Near Minsk

Russia lacks infrastructure.

The Russian military began to be trained in “Pechy” — the 72nd Joint Training Center of the Belarusian Armed Forces.

As reported by UNIAN with a reference to monitoring groups, military propagandists talked about the combat training of the so-called regional group of troops.

The story contains a commentary by Vadzim Surau, head of the 72nd Joint Training Center of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus (72nd Training Center).

“Today, military personnel of both the Russian Federation and the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus are being trained against a single background in the preparation of a regional group of troops. At this training site on the tank firing camp, joint crews, both Russian and Belarusian, perform preparatory exercises, and also work out questions on simulators. Then they hone their skills at the training grounds,” he said.

Thus, the military admitted that they use the training base of the 72nd training center for the training of Russian mobilized newbies. Previously, this was not officially announced. The video shows footage from the classrooms of the 72nd training center, where you can see the Russian servicemen.

The 72nd Joint Training Center is a “forge of personnel” for all the Belarusian Armed Forces. In its structure there are 6 schools that train junior commanders and specialists in 81 specialties. The structure of the 72nd united training center includes (among other things):

3rd school for training specialists of tank and artillery units;

12th school for training specialists of communications units;

307th school for training specialists of motorized rifle and airborne units.

This fact confirms the lack of infrastructure for high-quality training in the RF Armed Forces, including tank crews.
