Ekaterinburg. December 23. INTERFAX - Servicemen of motorized rifle units of the Russian military base in Tajikistan have worked at the Lyaur mountain range to block conditional terrorists trying to enter a military facility and destroy them, the Central Military District (CVO) reported on Thursday.

"According to the plan of actions, the "enemy" tried to enter the territory of the base in order to seize important military facilities, weapons and military equipment. Russian servicemen successfully repelled the attack, blocked the escape routes of the "terrorists" with their subsequent destruction from the standard BMP-2 weapons and small arms," the press service of the district said.

In addition, control firing from 30-millimeter 2A42 cannons, Kalashnikov tank machine guns mounted on the BMP-2 were carried out during the exercise.

"The personnel successfully hit all targets imitating armored vehicles, recoilless guns, positions of grenade throwers, as well as the manpower of a conditional enemy. The shooting was carried out both on the move, from short stops, and from a place at a distance of up to 1.5 thousand meters," the Central Military District noted.

According to the military, more than 500 servicemen took part in the exercise.

The 201st military base stationed in Tajikistan 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.

Against the background of the Taliban movement coming to power in Afghanistan (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation), the Russian military reported on strengthening the base in Tajikistan with new weapons. In particular, on December 6, a military base in Tajikistan received 30 upgraded T-72B3M tanks to replace combat vehicles of earlier modifications.

"The battalion of modern tanks, which has arrived to replace outdated models of equipment, will significantly increase the combat capabilities of the tank unit due to improved maneuverability and armor protection of the crew," the Central Military District noted.

It is expected that the new tanks will take part in at least 40 exercises.
