Priority attention is also given to the development of special operations forces.
As part of the digitalization of all spheres of life, the potential of the Armed Forces for actions in the cyber and information space will be increased.

These are, first of all, military medicine, radiation, chemical and biological protection troops, engineering troops, military transport aviation," the report says.
In order to ensure combat readiness, optimal deployment of military units, the creation of military infrastructure, as well as ensuring the safety of the population, a gradual transition to the formation of integrated military bases with appropriate infrastructure is planned.
