25. Purpose, composition, organizational structure of the branches of the RF Armed Forces. (+ here is the 27th question of the SV Branch)

Ground Forces (SV)- one of the main types of armed forces, which plays a decisive role in the final defeat of the enemy in the continental theater of military operations (TVD) and the capture of important land areas. According to their combat capabilities, they are capable, in cooperation with other types of armed forces, of conducting an offensive with the aim of defeating enemy troop groups and taking control of its territory, delivering fire strikes to great depths, repelling an invasion of the enemy, his large air and sea landings, and firmly holding occupied territories and areas. and boundaries. At all stages of the existence of our state, the Russian ground forces played a vital and often decisive role in achieving victory over the enemy and protecting national interests.

The ground forces are armed with tanks, infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), armored personnel carriers, artillery of various capacities and purposes, anti-tank missile systems, anti-aircraft missile systems (SAM), controls, and automatic small arms. With the outbreak of war, the main burden falls on the Army to repel enemy aggression with peacetime combat-ready groups of troops, ensure the strategic deployment of the Armed Forces, and conduct operations to defeat the aggressor in cooperation with other branches of the Russian Armed Forces. The ground forces include: motorized rifle, tank troops, missile troops and artillery, air defense (air defense) troops and special troops, as well as military educational institutions, military units and institutions.

Motorized rifle troops- the most numerous branch of the military, forming the basis of the Army, the core of their combat formations. Motorized rifle troops are designed to conduct combat operations independently and jointly with other branches of the military and special forces. They are capable of operating in conditions of the use of both conventional weapons and nuclear weapons (nuclear weapons). Possessing powerful fire, high mobility, maneuverability and resistance to weapons of mass destruction (WMD), motorized rifle troops can break through the prepared and hastily occupied enemy defenses, develop an offensive at a high pace and to great depth, together with other branches of the military, destroy the enemy, consolidate and hold captured area. Motorized rifle formations and units have the ability to quickly march over long distances, conduct maneuverable combat operations at any time of the year and day, in all weather and on different terrain, independently cross water obstacles, capture important lines and objects, and also in a short time create a stable defense They can be used as air and sea landing forces. Together with tank forces, they perform the following main tasks: - in defense, hold occupied areas, lines and positions, repel enemy attacks and defeat his advancing groups; - in an offensive (counter-offensive) they break through the enemy’s defenses, destroy groupings of his troops, capture important areas, lines and objects, force water obstacles, and pursue the retreating enemy; - conduct oncoming battles and battles, act as part of naval and tactical airborne assault forces.

Tank forces constitute the main strike force of the ground forces, a powerful means of armed struggle, designed to solve the most important tasks in various types of military operations, to conduct combat operations independently and in cooperation with other branches of the military and special forces.

They are used primarily in the main directions to deliver powerful and deep blows to the enemy. Possessing great firepower, reliable protection, high mobility and maneuverability, tank forces are able to make full use of the results of nuclear and fire strikes and achieve the final goals of a battle and operation in a short time. In an offensive, tank troops resolutely attack the enemy, destroying his tanks, manpower, firepower and military equipment. They rapidly develop an offensive into the depth of the defense, hold captured lines and objects, repel counterattacks, force water obstacles, pursue a retreating enemy, conduct reconnaissance, and also perform a number of other tasks.

Missile Forces and Artillery (RF&A)- the main firepower and the most important operational means of the ground forces in solving combat missions to defeat enemy groups. They are designed to inflict effective fire damage on the enemy. During combat operations, missile forces and forces can perform a wide variety of fire missions: suppress or destroy manpower, fire weapons, artillery, missile launchers, tanks, self-propelled artillery installations and other types of enemy military equipment; destroy various defensive structures; prohibit the enemy from maneuvering and conducting defensive work. The primary fire units in the Russian Military Army are a gun, a mortar, a rocket artillery combat vehicle, and a launcher, capable of performing individual fire missions.

Air defense troops SV (air defense SV)- a branch of the ground forces, intended to cover troops and objects from the actions of enemy air attacks when combined arms formations and formations conduct operations (combat operations), perform regroupings (march) and are positioned on the spot. They are entrusted with the following main tasks: - carrying out combat duty for air defense; - conducting reconnaissance of enemy air and alerting covered troops; - destruction of enemy air attack weapons in flight; - participation in the conduct of missile defense in the theater of operations. Intelligence units units are designed to provide commanders with data about the enemy, terrain and weather conditions, which is necessary for preparing and successfully conducting combat, as well as for destroying and disabling important enemy targets. The most important task of reconnaissance units in modern combat is the timely detection of enemy nuclear weapons, battle formations, troop concentration areas, command posts, artillery positions, air defense systems and anti-tank weapons.

Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense Troops (RKhBZ) designed for chemical supply of aircraft. In modern combined arms combat, they are responsible for conducting radiation, chemical and nonspecific bacteriological reconnaissance; decontamination, degassing and disinfection of weapons, uniforms and other materiel and terrain; ensuring control of contamination of personnel, weapons and equipment with radioactive and toxic substances, monitoring changes in the degree of contamination of the area, camouflaging troops with smoke and aerosols, timely provision of units and units with protective equipment, as well as defeating the enemy with flamethrowers.

Corps of Engineers designed to support combat operations of all types of armed forces and branches of the military. Engineering troops must ensure a high rate of attack, including the destruction of strong enemy strongholds covered by mine-explosive barriers (EMDs), create insurmountable defensive lines in a short time, and help protect people and equipment from all types of destruction.

Signal Corps– special troops designed to deploy a communications system and ensure control of formations, formations and units of the Ground Forces in peacetime and war time. They are also tasked with operating systems and automation equipment at control points.

Air Force (AF)- the most mobile and maneuverable branch of the RF Armed Forces, designed to ensure the security and protection of Russia’s interests at the country’s air borders, striking at enemy aviation, land and naval groups, and its administrative, political and military-economic centers. It is entrusted with the nationally important strategic task of reliable protection of administrative-political, military-industrial centers, communication centers, forces and means of higher military and government administration, facilities of the Unified Energy System and other important elements of the national economic infrastructure of Russia from attacks from an aerospace aggressor space.

Air Force Aviation (AVVS) according to its purpose and tasks, it is divided into long-range, military transport, operational-tactical and army aviation, which includes bomber, attack, fighter, reconnaissance, transport and special aviation. .

Long-Range Aviation (YES) is a means of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the RF Armed Forces and is intended to solve strategic and operational tasks in the theater of operations. Military transport aviation (MTA) is a means of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the RF Armed Forces and is intended to solve strategic operational and operational-tactical tasks in the theater of operations. Operational-tactical aviation designed to solve operational (operational-tactical) and tactical tasks in operations (combat actions) of groupings of troops (forces) in theaters of operations (strategic directions).

Army Aviation (AA) designed to solve operational-tactical and tactical tasks during army operations (combat operations).

Bomber Aviation (BA), armed with strategic, long-range and operational-tactical bombers, is the main strike weapon of the Air Force and is designed to destroy enemy troop groups, aviation, naval forces, destroy its important military, military-industrial, energy facilities, communications centers, conduct air reconnaissance and mining from the air, mainly in strategic and operational depth.

Assault Aviation (AS), armed with attack aircraft, is a means of air support for troops (forces) and is intended to destroy troops, ground (sea) objects, as well as enemy aircraft (helicopters) at home airfields (sites), conduct aerial reconnaissance and mine mining from the air primarily at the forefront, in tactical and operational-tactical depth.

Fighter Aviation (IA), armed with fighter aircraft, is designed to destroy enemy aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles in the air and ground (sea) targets.

Reconnaissance aviation (RzA), armed with reconnaissance aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles, is designed to conduct aerial reconnaissance of objects, the enemy, terrain, weather, air and ground radiation and chemical conditions.

Transport aviation (TrA), armed with transport aircraft, is intended for airborne landings, transportation of troops, weapons, military and special equipment and other materiel by air, ensuring maneuver and combat operations of troops (forces), and performing special tasks.

Special Aviation (SPA), Having aircraft and helicopters in service, it is designed to perform special tasks. Units and divisions of the SpA are directly or operationally subordinate to the commander of the Air Force formation and are involved in solving the following tasks: conducting radar reconnaissance and targeting aircraft to air and ground (sea) targets;

Anti-aircraft missile forces are a branch of the Air Force; Armed with air defense systems and anti-aircraft missile systems (AAMS), they constitute the main fire force in the air defense system (VKO - aerospace defense) and are intended to protect control points (CP) of the highest echelons of state and military command, groupings of troops (forces), the most important industrial and economic centers and other objects from attacks by enemy aerospace attack weapons (ASOA) within the affected zones.

Radio technical troops are a branch of the Air Force. Armed with radio equipment and automation systems, they are designed to conduct radar reconnaissance of enemy air and provide radar information about the air situation within the radar field to the command and control bodies of the Air Force and other branches and branches of the Armed Forces, at the control points of aviation, air defense and electronic warfare systems ( Electronic warfare) when solving problems in peacetime and wartime.

Air Force Special Forces designed to support the combat activities of formations, formations and units. Organizationally, units and units of special forces are part of formations, formations and units of the Air Force. The special troops include: units and subunits of reconnaissance, communications, radio technical support and automated control systems, electronic warfare, engineering, radiological and biological protection, topographic geodetic, search and rescue, meteorological, aeronautical, moral and psychological, logistical and medical support, support and security units military command bodies. Navy (Navy) – the main component and basis of the maritime potential of the Russian state. It is designed to maintain strategic stability, ensure Russia's national interests in the World Ocean and the country's reliable security in maritime and ocean areas.

The most important combat missions of the Navy are: strategic nuclear deterrence, ensuring the combat stability of strategic missile submarines (SSBN); assistance to troops of fronts (armies) in conducting operations and combat operations in coastal areas; defeat of enemy naval groups; creating and maintaining a favorable operational regime, gaining and maintaining dominance in the adjacent seas and operationally important areas (zones) of the ocean; disruption of enemy sea and ocean military and economic transportation. The modern Navy includes strategic nuclear forces and general-purpose naval forces. The Navy's branches include submarine and surface forces, naval aviation and coastal forces, marines and special forces. The structure of the Navy is determined by the geographical location of the Russian Federation and consists of four fleets (Northern, Pacific, Baltic and Black Sea) and the Caspian Flotilla, where they are combined into corresponding formations and formations - flotillas, squadrons, naval bases, divisions, brigades and regiments. Currently, all fleets, existing combat and support forces and means are able to solve assigned tasks, including not only in the near sea zone of the adjacent seas, but also in remote areas of the World Ocean.

Submarine Force (SS) are divided: according to the main armament - into missiles and torpedoes, and according to the main power plant - into nuclear and diesel. The submarines are armed with underwater-launched cruise and ballistic missiles and torpedoes. Missiles and torpedoes can be nuclear or conventional. Modern submarines are capable of hitting enemy ground targets, searching for and destroying enemy submarines, and delivering powerful strikes against groups of surface ships, including aircraft carriers, landing forces and convoys, both independently and in cooperation with other naval forces.

Surface Forces (NS) designed to search for and destroy submarines, combat surface ships, land amphibious assault forces on enemy coasts, detect and neutralize sea mines, and perform a number of other tasks. The combat stability of surface ship groups depends on the effectiveness of their air defense and anti-submarine defense. Surface ships and boats, depending on their purpose, are divided into classes: missile, anti-submarine, artillery-torpedo, mine action, landing, etc. Rocket ships(boats) are armed with cruise missiles and are capable of destroying enemy surface ships and transports at sea. Anti-submarine ships are designed to search for and destroy enemy submarines in coastal and remote areas of the sea. They are armed with anti-submarine helicopters, missiles and torpedoes, and depth charges. Artillery and torpedo ships (cruisers, destroyers, etc.) are used mainly as security forces as part of convoys and landing detachments, as well as to cover the latter during sea crossings, to provide fire support for landing forces when landing on the shore, and to perform other tasks. Mine countermeasures ships are used to detect and neutralize enemy mines in the navigation areas of friendly submarines, surface ships and transports. They are equipped with electronic equipment capable of detecting bottom and anchor mines, and various trawls for mine clearance. Landing ships are used for transporting by sea and landing on the coast occupied by the enemy, units and units of the Marine Corps and Ground Forces operating as amphibious assault forces. 26. Purpose, organization and structure of individual branches of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Strategic Missile Forces (RVSN)- troops of constant readiness. Their purpose is to deter a potential aggressor from starting a war against Russia and its allies, as well as to defeat nuclear war(in the event of its unleashing) the most important enemy targets, large groupings of armed forces, the destruction of its strategic and other means of nuclear attack, disruption of state and military control, disorganization of rear activities. In modern conditions, the Strategic Missile Forces are called upon to solve three interrelated tasks: first, the defeat of strategic targets that form the basis of the enemy’s military and military-economic potential by nuclear missile strikes; secondly, warning the Supreme High Command about a missile and space attack, implementing continuous control over outer space, defeating enemy ballistic missiles; thirdly, information support by space means for operations and combat operations of armed forces groups. The troops carry out their tasks by delivering nuclear missile strikes both in cooperation with strategic nuclear weapons of other types of armed forces, and independently.

Aerospace Defense Troops (VKO)- a fundamentally new branch of the military, which is designed to ensure Russia’s security in the aerospace sector. Aerospace Defense Forces solve a wide range of tasks, the main of which are: - providing senior management levels with reliable information about the detection of ballistic missile launches and warning of missile attacks; - defeating the warheads of ballistic missiles of a potential enemy attacking important government facilities; - protection of command posts of the highest echelons of state and military administration, groupings of troops (forces), the most important industrial and economic centers and other objects from attacks by enemy airborne missile systems within the affected zones; - monitoring space objects and identifying threats to Russia in space and from space, and, if necessary, countering such threats; - launching spacecraft into orbit, controlling military and dual-purpose (military and civil) satellite systems in flight and using some of them in the interests of providing the troops (forces) of the Russian Federation with the necessary information; - maintaining the established composition and readiness for use of military and dual-use satellite systems, means of launching and controlling them, and a number of other tasks.

Airborne troops (VDV) designed for combat operations behind enemy lines. The main combat properties of the Airborne Forces: the ability to quickly reach remote areas of the theater of operations, deliver surprise attacks on the enemy, and successfully conduct combined arms combat. The airborne forces can quickly capture and hold important areas deep behind enemy lines, disrupt its state and military control, take possession of islands, sections of the sea coast, naval and air bases, assist the advancing troops in crossing large water obstacles on the move and quickly overcoming mountainous areas, destroy important enemy targets. The Airborne Forces perform their tasks in cooperation with formations and units various types Armed Forces and branches of the military. The main military formations of the Airborne Forces are airborne divisions, brigades and individual units.

Armed Forces Rear designed to provide logistics to troops and naval forces with everything necessary in the interests of their effective functioning. Moreover, even in peacetime, the Armed Forces Logistics Service does not have training tasks, since not a single missile or aircraft can be conditionally refueled, nor can a soldier be conditionally equipped and conditionally fed. Both in war and in peacetime, real and complete support is expected from the Armed Forces Home Front.

28. THE ESSENCE OF MODERN COMBAT COMBAT Combat is the main form of tactical actions of troops, an organized armed clash of formations, units and subunits of the warring parties, which represents strikes, fire and maneuver coordinated in purpose, place and time in order to destroy (defeat) the enemy and perform other tactical tasks in a certain area during short period of time. Modern combined arms combat requires from troops the skillful use of all weapons, combat and special equipment, high mobility and organization, full exertion of moral and physical strength, an unyielding will to win, iron discipline and combat cohesion. This is achieved through high combat training; conscious performance of one's military duty; steadfastness, bravery, bravery and readiness of personnel to achieve complete victory over the enemy in any conditions; superiors’ knowledge of their subordinates, personal communication with them, attention to their daily combat life and needs, high demands on them; instilling in subordinates faith in the rightness of our cause, devotion to the socialist Motherland and the Soviet government. Modern combined arms combat can be conducted both in conditions of the use of nuclear weapons and other weapons, and with the use of only conventional weapons. The presence of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction in the enemy's possession, which are in a high degree of readiness, requires troops to continuously identify and destroy them with all available means and at the same time implement measures to protect against weapons of mass destruction and the ability to fight in the conditions of their use.

✑ Aerospace Forces
✑ Navy.

Each branch of the Armed Forces consists of combat arms (forces), special troops and logistics.

Ground troops

From the history of creation

Ground forces are the oldest type of troops. In the era of the slave system, they consisted of two types of troops (infantry and cavalry) or only one of them. The organization and tactics of these troops received significant development in Ancient Rome, where a coherent system of their acquisition, preparation and use was created. In the VIII - XIV centuries. use of manual firearms and artillery pieces sharply increased the combat power of the ground forces and caused changes in the tactics of their actions and organization. In the XVII-XVIII centuries. Ground forces in various countries, including Russia, received a harmonious permanent organization, which included platoons, companies (squadrons), battalions, regiments, brigades, divisions and army corps. By the beginning of the First World War, ground forces constituted the bulk of the armed forces of most countries. By this time, they received repeating rifles with bayonets, heavy and light machine guns, rapid-fire guns, mortars, armored vehicles, and at the end of the war, tanks. The troops were united into armies, consisting of corps and divisions. The further creation and introduction of new types of weapons into the troops caused a change in the structure of the ground forces. They included armored, chemical, automobile and air defense troops.

Organizational structure of the Ground Forces

• High Command
• Motorized rifle troops
• Tank forces
• Rocket Forces and Artillery
• Air defense troops
• Intelligence units and military units
• Corps of Engineers
• Radiation, chemical and biological protection
• Signal Corps

Ground troops- This is a type of troops intended primarily for conducting combat operations on land. In most states they are the most numerous, diverse in weapons and methods of warfare, and have great firepower and striking power. They are capable of conducting an offensive in order to defeat enemy troops and seize its territory, deliver fire strikes to great depths, repel enemy invasions, and firmly hold occupied territories and lines.

These troops include:
• motorized rifle troops,
• tank forces,
• missile forces and artillery,
• air defense troops,
• units and units of special forces,
• units and institutions of the rear.

Motorized rifle troops- the most numerous branch of the military. They consist of motorized rifle formations, units and subunits and are designed to conduct military operations independently or jointly with other branches of the military and special forces. They are equipped with powerful weapons to destroy ground and air targets, and have effective reconnaissance and control means.

Tank forces designed to conduct combat operations independently and in cooperation with other branches of the military and special forces. They are equipped with tanks of various types (high cross-country tracked combat vehicles, fully armored, with weapons to destroy various targets on the battlefield).
Tank troops constitute the main striking force of the ground forces. They are used primarily in the main directions to deliver powerful and deep blows to the enemy. Possessing great firepower, reliable protection, great mobility and maneuverability, they are capable of achieving the ultimate goals of combat and operation in a short time.

Rocket Forces and Artillery- a branch of the military created in the early 60s. based on the artillery of the Ground Forces and the introduction of missile weapons into the troops.
They serve as the main means of nuclear and fire destruction of the enemy and can destroy nuclear attack weapons, enemy force groups, aviation at airfields, and air defense facilities; hit reserves, control points, destroy warehouses, communications centers and other important objects. Combat missions are carried out using all types of fire and missile strikes.
In addition to missile systems, they are armed with artillery systems, which, according to their combat properties, are divided into cannon, howitzer, jet, anti-tank and mortar systems, according to methods of movement - into self-propelled, towed, self-propelled, transportable and stationary, and according to design features - into barreled, rifled , smoothbore, recoilless, jet, etc.

Air defense troops carry out tasks to repel enemy air attacks, cover troops and rear facilities from air strikes. Air defense is organized in all types of combat during troop movements and positioning on site. It includes reconnaissance of the air enemy, alerting troops about him, combat operations of anti-aircraft missile units and anti-aircraft artillery, aviation, as well as organized fire of anti-aircraft weapons and small arms of motorized rifle and tank units.

Special troops- This military formations, institutions and organizations designed to support the combat activities of the Ground Forces and solve special problems. These include engineering troops, radiation, chemical and biological defense troops, communications troops and others, as well as weapons and logistics services.

The RF Armed Forces consist of central military command and control bodies, associations, formations, units, divisions and organizations that are included in the types and branches of the military, in the rear of the RF Armed Forces and in troops not included in the types and branches of the military.

TO central authorities include the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation (Ministry of Defense of Russia), General base The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, as well as a number of departments in charge of certain functions and subordinate to certain deputy ministers of defense or directly to the minister of defense. In addition, the central command bodies include the Main Commands of the branches of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

Type of the RF Armed Forces- this is their component, distinguished by special weapons and designed to perform assigned tasks, as a rule, in any environment (on land, in water, in the air). These are the Ground Forces, the Air Force, and the Navy.

Each branch of the RF Armed Forces consists of combat arms (forces), special troops and logistics.

Under branch of the army is understood as a part of the branch of the RF Armed Forces, distinguished by the main weapons, technical equipment, organizational structure, the nature of training and the ability to perform specific combat missions. In addition, there are independent kind troops. In the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation these are the Strategic Missile Forces, the Aerospace Defense Forces and the Airborne Forces.

Associations- these are military formations, including several formations or associations of a smaller scale, and TE.KZh6 units and institutions. Associations include the army, flotilla, as well as the military district - a territorial combined arms association and the fleet - a naval association.

Military district is a territorial combined arms association military units, formations, educational institutions, military institutions of various types and branches of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The military district covers the territory of several constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

Fleet- highest operational formation Navy. District and fleet commanders direct their troops (forces) through the headquarters subordinate to them.

Formations are military formations consisting of several units or formations of a smaller composition, usually various branches of troops (forces), special troops (services), as well as support and service units (units). Formations include corps, divisions, brigades and other military formations equivalent to them. The word “compound” means a connection of units: the division headquarters has the status of a unit to which other units (regiments) are subordinate. All together this is the division. However, in some cases, a brigade may also have the status of a connection. This happens if it includes separate battalions and companies, each of which in itself has the status of a unit. In this case, the brigade headquarters, like the division headquarters, has the status of a unit, and battalions and companies, as independent units, are subordinate to the brigade headquarters.

Part is an organizationally independent combat and administrative-economic unit in all branches of the RF Armed Forces. The term “unit” most often means regiment and brigade. In addition to these, the units include the division headquarters, corps headquarters, army headquarters, district headquarters, as well as other military organizations (military trade, army hospital, garrison clinic, district food warehouse, district song and dance ensemble, garrison officers' house, garrison consumer services plant, Central School of Junior Specialists, etc.). Units can be ships of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd ranks, individual battalions (divisions, squadrons), as well as individual companies that are not part of battalions and regiments. Regiments, individual battalions, divisions and squadrons are awarded the Battle Banner, and Navy ships are awarded the Naval Flag.

Subdivision- all military formations that are part of the unit. Squad, platoon, company, battalion - they are all united by one word “unit”. The word comes from the concept of “dividing, dividing”, i.e. part is divided into divisions.

TO organizations These include such structures supporting the vital functions of the RF Armed Forces as military medical institutions, officers' houses, military museums, editorial offices of military publications, sanatoriums, rest homes, tourist centers, etc.

Rear of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation designed to provide all types of materiel and maintain their reserves, prepare and operate communication routes, provide military transportation, repair weapons and military equipment, providing medical care to the wounded and sick, carrying out sanitary, hygienic and veterinary measures and performing a number of other logistics tasks. The rear of the RF Armed Forces includes arsenals, bases, and warehouses with supplies of materiel. It has special troops (automobile, railway, road, pipeline, engineering and airfield, etc.), as well as repair, medical, rear security and other units and subunits.

Quartering and arrangement of troops— the activities of the Russian Ministry of Defense in the creation and engineering support of military infrastructure facilities, the quartering of troops, the creation of conditions for the strategic deployment of the Russian Armed Forces and the conduct of combat operations.

Troops that are not included in the branches and branches of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation include the Border Troops, Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation (MVD of Russia), Troops civil defense.

Border troops designed to protect the state border, territorial sea, continental shelf and exclusive economic zone of the Russian Federation, as well as to solve problems of protection biological resources territorial sea, continental shelf and exclusive economic zone of the Russian Federation and the exercise of state control in this area. Organizationally, the Border Troops are part of Federal service security of the Russian Federation.

Internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia are intended to ensure the security of the individual, society and the state, to protect the rights and freedoms of citizens from criminal and other unlawful attacks.

Civil Defense Troops- these are military formations that own special equipment, weapons and property, designed to protect the population, material and cultural assets on the territory of the Russian Federation from dangers arising during the conduct of military operations or as a result of these actions. Organizationally, the Civil Defense Troops are part of the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Civil Defense, Emergency Situations and Disaster Relief.

(slides 3-10)

The most unusual maneuver before an attack

During the Russian war against the Bukhara Emirate in 1868, the infantry, right in front of the enemy’s eyes, crossed the river in chest-deep water and occupied the heights of Chapan-Ata in a bayonet attack. The maneuver was swift, there was no time to take off shoes and pour out water. Therefore, the soldiers stood on their hands, while their comrades shook their legs.

A month later, in battle, the Bukharans in the front rows, approaching a rifle shot, stood on their hands, and the rear ones began to conscientiously shake their legs.

They were firmly convinced that they had unraveled the Russian ritual that brought victory

The most unusual decree

Sew buttons onto the front side of the sleeve of a soldier's uniform.

Purpose of the decree: to wean soldiers, most of whom were recruited from peasant backgrounds, from wiping their mouths with their sleeves after eating, so that expensive cloth would last longer

The shortest war

In 1896, a war broke out between Britain and Zanzibar that lasted exactly 38 minutes.

The most fake attack

During World War II, the Germans built a mock-up of an airfield in Holland in great secrecy. Airplanes, hangars, cars, air defense systems - everything is made of wood. But one day an English bomber arrived and dropped a single bomb on the false airfield, after which construction of the airfield stopped. The bomb was wooden

The most curious army laws

In Britain, only in 1947, the position of the person obliged to fire a cannon at the time of Napoleon’s invasion of England was abolished

The most ridiculous war

In 1249, a soldier from Bologna fled to Modena, seizing an old oak tub from which he watered his horse. The authorities of Bologna demanded that they hand over not a deserter, but a tub. Having received a refusal, Bologna began a war against Modena that lasted 22 years and was accompanied by significant destruction. And the tub still remains in Modena and is stored in one of the city’s towers

The most unusual weapon

One Siamese king, retreating, ordered that the enemy be fired from cannons not with cannonballs, but with silver coins. How he completely disorganized the enemy and won the battle

Types of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

Before studying the material, students are given a task in the form of tables, which they must fill out as the teacher explains new material (slide 11)

The Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is Russian President V.V. Putin. The main functions of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces:

1. Management of the implementation of defense policy
2. Approval of plans for the construction and use of the army and navy
3. Appointment and dismissal of positions of high military command
4. Assignment of highest military ranks
5. Call for military service
6. Declaration of a state of war
7. Orders of the Armed Forces for the conduct of military operations (slide 12)

Direct leadership of the Armed Forces through the Ministry of Defense is exercised by the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation (slide 12)

The branches of the Armed Forces are divided by natural environment (slide 13), in which they must conduct armed confrontation with the enemy. Based on this, their weapons, combat tactics, organization and all other characteristics are determined, down to the specifics of their clothing and food rations. The listed characteristics are influenced by many other factors, among which the traditions that have developed over the entire history of the existence of the Armed Forces are of decisive importance.

Ground forces (slides 14-25)

The history of the Ground Forces is the longest. Our ancestors, according to historians in the 5th-6th centuries, fought only on foot, practically without using cavalry. Therefore, the traditions expressed in the concepts of courage and perseverance, self-sacrifice, and military brotherhood in the Ground Forces are especially vividly expressed.

Ground forces operate on land accordingly. They are intended for:

• Covering the State Border
• Reflecting the aggressor's blows
• Retention of occupied territory
• Defeat of troop groups
• Capturing enemy territory

The Ground Forces consist of combat arms, special troops, formations, units of centrally subordinate institutions and organizations, and the rear of the Ground Forces.

Motorized rifle troops:

Designed to conduct combat operations independently, as well as together with other military branches and special troops. The motorized rifle troops have motorized rifle, tank, missile, artillery, anti-aircraft missile units and units, as well as special forces and logistics units.

Distinctive features are high mobility and maneuverability.

Tank forces:

They constitute the main strike force of the SV. They are used primarily in the main directions to deliver powerful and deep blows to the enemy.

Rocket troops and artillery:

They are the main means of fire and nuclear destruction of the enemy. Called upon to solve fire missions in combat in the interests of other branches of the military.

Air Defense Forces:

Designed to destroy enemy airborne forces, to protect troop groups, command posts, airfields and rear facilities from attacks.

Air Force (slides 26-34)

The Air Force is the youngest branch of the Russian Armed Forces.

Outstanding Russian scientists made a great contribution to the creation of aviation: N.E. Zhukovsky, K.E. Tsiolkovsky, S.A. Chaplygin. In 1882, naval officer A.F. Mozhaisky created the world's first airplane. In 1913, the multi-engine aircraft “Russian Knight” was assembled, and later “Ilya Muromets”. The advent of the jet engine caused a qualitative leap in the development of aviation. In 1946, the first jet aircraft Yak-15 and MiG-9 were flown into the air.

The modern structure of the Air Force was created in 1998 as a result of the merger of the Air Force and the Air Defense Forces.

The types of aviation include: bomber, attack, fighter, reconnaissance, military transport, army, special.

The main tasks of the Air Force:

• Protecting the country from reconnaissance and air strikes
• Gaining air superiority
• Defeat the enemy from the air
• Conducting comprehensive reconnaissance and performing special tasks
• Ensuring the actions of formations of the Armed Forces

Navy (slides 35 – 41)

On October 20, 1696, at the insistence of Peter I, the Boyar Duma made the historic decision “There will be sea vessels.” It is from this moment that the history of the development of the domestic navy begins.

The first permanent grouping of forces - the Azov Fleet - was formed from ships built in the winter of 1695-1696. Before the First World War, the fleet was homogeneous. Coastal troops (marines and coastal artillery) existed since the beginning of the 18th century and were not part of the fleet. On March 19, 1906, a new branch of the Navy was born and began to develop - the submarine force. 1914 - the first units of Naval Aviation were formed. Mid-1930s - the Navy included naval aviation, coastal defense and air defense units.

Over the 3 centuries of its existence, the regular Russian fleet has covered itself with unfading glory. Gangut and Chesma, Sinop and Tendra, the defense of Sevastopol and Port Arthur are glorious pages of its history. The Russian Navy reached its greatest power in the second half of the 20th century. Wasn't on globe not a single corner of the World Ocean where our naval flag is not present.

The Navy is intended for the armed defense of Russia's interests and for conducting combat operations in the sea and ocean theaters of war.

The Navy is capable of launching nuclear strikes on enemy ground targets, destroying enemy fleet groups at sea and bases, disrupting ocean and maritime communications and protecting its maritime transport, assisting the Ground Forces, participating in repelling enemy landings and performing other tasks.

The Navy organizationally includes the Northern, Pacific, Baltic and Black Sea fleets, as well as the Caspian military flotilla and Leningrad naval base.

The role of the fleet in the history of Russia has always gone beyond the scope of its purely military tasks. The presence of the fleet contributed to our country's active foreign policy. He has more than once become a deterrent for the enemy of our state when the threat of war arose.

Other troops of the Russian Armed Forces (slides 42-44)

In the structure of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation there are 3 types of troops that are not included in the branches of the Armed Forces. They are very different from each other in tasks, structure and features of combat use, but they have one thing in common - they all act in the interests of the Armed Forces as a whole and are capable of performing assigned tasks both in cooperation with other components of the Armed Forces and independently. This independence in performing tasks, the specificity of the tasks themselves, required their separation into special structures.

Strategic Missile Forces. Today, the Strategic Missile Forces are the main component of strategic nuclear forces; they are armed with intercontinental combat missile systems of various types and are designed to destroy important enemy targets in a nuclear war, destroy their strategic and other means of nuclear attack, defeat large groups of armed forces, violate state and military control, disorganize rear.

Space Force - a fundamentally new branch of the military, which is designed to ensure the security of Russia in outer space. The main tasks of the Space Forces are: communicating warnings to the country's top military-political leadership about a missile attack, missile defense of Moscow, creating, deploying, maintaining and managing an orbital constellation of spacecraft.

Airborne troops (VDV) - a mobile branch of troops designed to perform combat missions behind enemy lines, as well as to act as a reserve of the Supreme High Command. Airborne forces can be used for: mastering administrative and political centers, industrial facilities, areas for basing aviation and enemy naval forces, seizing and holding crossings on water barriers, mountain passes and passages, destroying nuclear attack weapons, disrupting the command and control of troops and the work of the enemy’s rear, disrupting the formation and transfer of his reserves.

Branches of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (slides 45-49)

The internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation are intended to ensure the security of the individual, society and the state, to protect the rights and freedoms of man and citizen from criminal and other unlawful attacks. At the moment the number internal troops The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation has determined the number of 199,800 people. The VV special forces comprise 16 mobile units.

Railway troops are intended for restoration, construction, operation and technical cover railways, used to provide transportation in wartime.

Border troops are designed to protect state borders on land, seas, rivers and lakes, as well as the continental shelf of the Russian Federation and their natural resources. The management of the border troops is carried out by the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation. In Russia, the origins of the border service date back to the 14th and 15th centuries. In connection with the frequent raids of nomads on the southern and south-eastern outskirts of the Moscow principality, from the 60s of the 14th century, guard posts and villages began to be set up. In the 16th century, serif lines were revived, and later, border fortified lines and border service took on the form of public service.

In peacetime, civil defense troops participate in the liquidation of consequences emergency situations: natural disasters, epidemics, major accidents and disasters that threaten public health and require rescue operations. In the event of the outbreak of hostilities or the introduction of martial law by the President of the Russian Federation on the territory of the country or in its individual regions, the activities of civil defense troops are carried out in full.

The integrity of any state depends on many factors: external and internal opponents, economic situation, general standard of living. The country's leaders have to take into account all these aspects and promptly resolve emerging situations.

Accordingly, the tools for performing a particular task are provided. For example, in order to maintain sovereignty and protect its people from invaders, the Russian armed forces exist.

Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Armed Forces - V.V. Putin

History of the creation of the RF Armed Forces

The Russian armed forces number about 2 million people. This number includes both professional soldiers and conscripts. Civilian specialists are also present in the Armed Forces. Billions of rubles are allocated annually for the needs of the armed forces. These funds are used for re-equipment, development of new types of weapons, and salaries for the military.

In addition to protecting state integrity and repelling foreign aggression, the Army of the Russian Federation is also involved in more subtle processes. Sometimes, to maintain peace, it is necessary to act on the territory of other countries. A striking example is the situation in Syria. Where the army of the Russian Armed Forces and its Aerospace Forces (Aerospace Forces) of Russia took part in the defeat of terrorist groups.

Types of troops:

• Ground Forces (SV);
• Aerospace Forces (VKS);
• Navy (Navy);
• Certain types of troops;
• Special troops.

Ground troops

They are the most numerous. Their primary task is to conduct offensive and defensive operations. Thanks to technical equipment, the modern armed forces of the Russian Federation can carry out operations to break through the enemy’s layered defenses and capture key points and cities. The head of the ground forces is Colonel General Oleg Leonidovich Salyukov.

The SV includes the following types of troops:

	Name of troops	Short description
		Motorized infantry capable of covering significant distances. The composition includes infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, and military trucks. Divided into divisions. Consists of tanks, artillery, etc.

	Special Forces	Various types of troops with narrow specialization. This includes automotive units, electronic warfare troops, chemical and biological defense, and others

The main goal of this type of troops is to fight for the health of soldiers in peacetime and wartime. The MV includes mobile and stationary hospitals. In addition, in peacetime the responsibilities of this service include ensuring army units medical equipment and training of personnel in first aid techniques.

In combat conditions, the value of MS increases many times over. They provide timely medical care to wounded servicemen and provide inpatient treatment for the soldier’s speedy return to duty.

Aerospace Forces

The main structure of the Russian Army is the Aerospace Forces. They were created to gain air supremacy, conduct reconnaissance operations, transport military equipment and personnel in an operational mode, and protect ground forces from enemy air raids.

It also includes long-range or strategic aviation. Its purpose is to disable industrial and economic facilities. Both cruise missiles with simple warheads and those equipped with nuclear elements can be used.

Separately, the Aerospace Forces includes the Missile Defense and Air Defense divisions. Their tasks include:

• protection of objects on the territory of the country;
• obstruction of aerial reconnaissance by the enemy;

Number of members

The size of the army is a state secret. Therefore, open sources only contain information for 2011. According to these data, the RF Armed Forces number about 1,000 thousand people, which is more than two times less than at the time of the creation of our country’s armed forces.

Service in the Russian army

In 2017, the service life of a conscript soldier is 1 calendar year (in the Navy - 2). During this time, his training takes place. The course includes combat and shooting training. In addition, it all depends on the branch of the military where the recruit ends up. Depending on this, additional skills are taught.

During their service, soldiers live in barracks. They eat in common canteens. In case of illness, treatment takes place in the medical building of the military unit.

There are also higher educational establishments military orientation. Future officers are trained there. Each military university has its own narrow specialization.
