Training secrets of the Northern Fleet
The 61st Naval Infantry Brigade of the Northern Fleet recently passed a weapons training exam. The brigade is based in Sputnik on the Kola Peninsula.
Such live fire training is conducted on a monthly basis and is not only training for enlisted men, but it is also a way to improve the officers’ combat skills.
According to the training standards, over the course of a year of service, conscripts must learn to use all of the platoon’s weapons, from the five models of AK assault rifles to the machine guns mounted on Marine armored personnel carriers.
