This follows from a report by the Russian Defense Ministry on August 21 about the visit of the head of the military department, Andrei Belousov, to the group's command post. "The commander of the group, Colonel General Yevgeny Nikiforov, reported to the Russian Minister of Defense on issues of equipping the group's units with modern weapons and military equipment and on its modernization, taking into account the experience of combat use during the SVO," the statement said. The Defense Ministry specified that Belousov was also shown drones that can provide remote mining of the area and destroy armored objects. In addition, the report specified that the use of a repeater on the UAV made it possible to increase the operating range of ground robots used to deliver food and water to 15 km. The head of the defense department thanked the commanders of the Northern Group units for the high results of their combat work, and also presented state awards to the servicemen who demonstrated courage, bravery, and heroism. |
