Yekaterinburg. November 8. INTERFAX-AVN - The 201st Russian military base stationed in Tajikistan will receive the first batch of upgraded T-72B3M tanks in November, Alexander Lapin, commander of the Central Military District (CVO), told reporters.

"We continue to build up the combat potential of the compound. By the end of this year, the 201st military base will update its fleet of combat vehicles, receiving 30 improved T-72B3M tanks. We expect the first echelons with equipment already in November," he said after the award ceremony of the winners of the district stage of the All-Russian Press Festival "Media As Center 2021".

In total, according to him, this year the 201st military base will receive more than 60 units of modern weapons.

The commander of the Central Military District also said that the motorized infantry battalions of the base were re-equipped with BTR-82A and upgraded BMP-2M, the anti-aircraft units of the base were transferred from portable Igla anti-aircraft missile systems to more modern and all-weather Willow complexes. In addition, the 201st military base received anti-tank guided missile systems "Kornet", sniper rifles ASVK-M "Cord", AK-12 assault rifles, rocket-propelled infantry flamethrowers of increased range and power, as well as equipment for logistics and technical support services.

"The complex of measures carried out made it possible to significantly strengthen the combat power of the compound. The personnel maintain a high level of combat readiness and are ready to respond to any threats in the Central Asian region," Lapin stressed.

Earlier it was reported that the Russian military base in Tajikistan is being reinforced with new weapons against the background of the Taliban movement (a terrorist organization banned in Russia) coming to power in Afghanistan.

In addition, this summer and autumn, Russia conducted several exercises at training grounds in Tajikistan near the Afghan border. Several thousand servicemen took part in the maneuvers, and military equipment was also involved. The basis of the Russian contingent at the exercises were the units of the 201st base. During the exercises, in particular, localization of the border armed conflict related to attempts to infiltrate the territory of one of the states by militants of international terrorist organizations was worked out.

The 201st military base is Russia's largest military facility outside of its borders (part of the Central Military District). It is located in two cities - Dushanbe and Bokhtar. It consists of motorized rifle, tank, artillery, reconnaissance units, air defense units, RCB protection and communications.
