The Russian Defense Ministry reported that by the end of 2021, 69 new outstanding achievements were included in the Book of Records of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
The Ministry of Defense recognized the world's first parachute landing of a medical military unit in full strength with equipment and equipment as the most ambitious achievement of last year. It, we recall, took place in August 2021. The personnel of the mobile hospital of the 98th Ivanovo Airborne Division were then involved in the experimental exercise in the Kostroma and Ivanovo regions, which the Airborne command organized on behalf of Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
17 boards were involved in this unique operation. Having covered a little more than 100 kilometers, the IL-76 aircraft successfully landed about 160 military personnel of the hospital, 14 units of armored and automotive equipment and 25 P-7 platforms with cargo at the Budikhino landing site in the Kostroma region in 30 minutes. 24 platforms - with medical equipment and equipment. One - with food. After landing and gathering at the landing site, air-framed tents of the main functional units of the airmobile hospital were deployed in the field.
According to statistics, more than 60 percent of the "military" records were set by soldiers and officers in combat training classes and at international army games. Another 40 percent of the records for 2021 are accounted for by the military's well-executed special tasks.
For example, during last year's expedition to Alexandra Island in the Franz Josef Land archipelago, they set 7 records. Among them is the equipment of an ice airfield in an area located above the 80th degree of north latitude. And also - the world's first parachute landing of a group of rescuers into the open sea in northern latitudes with the help of a small marine amphibious complex. The Book of Military Records also includes fighter flights to the area of the North Pole with its intersection.
