President Dmitry Medvedev visited on Monday the base of the OMON Detachment of the Zubyr, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation in the city of Shchelkovo, who personally observed the exercises of this special forces, appreciated its weapons and talked with the personnel.
Recall that the Zubyr detachment, created at the beginning of 2006 as an independent unit of the Ministry of the Interior, sadly "became famous" at the end of 2008, when its fightersharshly dispersed the protest of motorists in Vladivostok against raising duties on the import of foreign cars.
During the current exercises on the basis of the Dosuzer, riot police demonstrated the assault on a separate building in which a group of “armed criminals” took refuge, using armored vehicles and aviation support. OMON fighters under the fire cover from armored vehicles carried out the capture of this building: one detachment penetrated the room, undermining the front door, the second landed from helicopters to the roof, Interfax reports.
A group of rawies-races demonstrated elements of high-altitude training, penetrating the building through the window openings of the third floor. The recording of the operation was carried out by cameras installed on the helmets of riot police. The operation was carried out under the supervision of an unmanned aircraft, from which air monitoring of the operational situation was carried out.
Then the riot police showed how the assault on the moving truck was stormed, in which armed criminals were. The operation was worked out using helicopters, armored vehicles. The fighters of the detachment landed from a helicopter to the body of a truck, previously blocked by cars of a special unit.
The head of state was able to see how the offenders moving along the federal highway by car are intercepted. After receiving operational information, the employees of the special forces with the support of the cover group stopped the Gazelle with criminals, neutralized them and examined the car involving a dog handler.
A separate point of the exercises was the demonstration by employees of riot police, the use of hand -to -hand combat techniques with and without weapons. As the president was told, the techniques used by special forces in hand -to -hand combat were selected for 23 years, from the moment of the creation of riot police.
Also, riot police demonstrated a number of tasks in various psychological conditions. Elements of psychological training of fighters were worked out on the example of landing with moving vehicles, as well as under the moving armored vehicle.
Medvedev praised the actions of the fighters on the exercises on Monday. “The guys worked harmoniously, everything looked spectacular, in a single impulse all the combat tasks were completed,” he said, especially noting the work of high -rise and snipers, which were involved in the exercises.
The President praised Kalashnikov, rejected the Vector and concerned him to the "Osa"
Medvedev drew attention to the fact that special forces during hand -to -hand combat calmly leave weapons on the ground, in puddles. “That's what Kalashnikova’s machine gun is good, threw it into the mud, and then shoots like a new one,” said the Supreme Commander -in -Chief of the RF Armed Forces.
Then the president visited the rifle dash and examined the exhibition of weapons, communications and observation, explosive equipment and equipment, which are in service with riot police. The Medvedev Vector pistol rejected, which approvingly responded about the "Yarygin" and "Stechkin". “I just shot from him. Rightlessly,” Medvedev remarked after visiting the shooting gallery.
His attention was attracted by an incredible Pistol "Osa", which allows fire to fire around the corner of buildings, as well as a number of machine guns and rifles. Medvedev asked the cost of this weapon. However, the media do not bring the prices and reactions to them by Medvedev.
The President also got acquainted in detail with the uniforms and equipment of the fighters of the "dick" to perform various tasks. Medvedev was also shown the heavy equipment used by riot police.
Snipers need to add money
Then Medvedev talked with the personnel of the Zubyr detachment. At the meeting, the head of state received a request to introduce a salary to snipers and lifers, similarly to the one that divers and dog handlers receive.
"There is no doubt that snipers, helds and, perhaps, other categories that do not yet receive a allowance, must receive it, since these are complex professions, and it is customary to pay extra for professionalism," Medvedev said.
He instructed the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Rashid Nurgaliev to report what needs to be done in order to introduce such a premium. “If there are no such allowances, we will consider them,” the president promised.
A policeman puppy will be called a nickname of one of the seven presidential dogs
Another result of the visit of the head of state to the Bazu Base was the appearance of a puppy in the cynological service, named after the dog of the President of Russia. Anna Verchenko addressed Medvedev with the corresponding request to Medvedev and received presidential consent.
During the tea party, Medvedev with OMON employees Verchenko asked how much the president of the dogs, and asked to name the nickname of the most smart of them, so that the "Novice" in the dog -department of the "Dirusage" was named after the presidential dog.
It turned out that the head of state has seven dogs, and Medvedev, after some thought, admitted that, "perhaps the most intelligible of his dogs is Labrador -Retriever Aldo." The president not only agreed that the police dog received the same nickname, but also promised the “bolt” of the puppy from his aldo.
Verchenko, for her part, told reporters that the tasks for the puppy, who will be called in honor of the presidential dog, have already been determined - he will search for explosives.
