Commentary by Rusian military journalist Boris Rozhin:

[ColonelCassad] Less than 4 years have passed.

The threat of attacks on residential areas in the Russian Federation has increased due to the use of long-range UAVs by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, said Tsimlyansky, Deputy Chief of the Main Organizational and Mobilization Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces.

1. Citizens with military training will be able to be used to protect facilities deep in the Russian Federation;

2. There is no talk of mobilization in the context of using reservists;

3. Reservists will not be used in the air defense forces or for missions outside the Russian Federation;

4. Reservists will undergo fire, engineering and medical training;

5. Reservists are planned to be sent to protect transport facilities and oil refineries;

6. The bill on using reservists does not affect all citizens;

7. Reservists will be sent to training camps based on a decree of the President of the Russian Federation. They will retain their jobs and salaries.

The right decision, but much belated. The inertia of the bureaucratic system is taking its toll. But better late than never. We had the same problem with aircraft shelters a little earlier. We expect to see an increase in the number of mobile drone-hunting teams. Those who enjoy shooting at low-flying aircraft-type targets with all sorts of weapons are welcome.
