Yekaterinburg. February 1. INTERFAX - A batch of twelve new means of communication has arrived at the 201st military base of the Russian Federation stationed in Tajikistan, the press service of the Central Military District (CVO) reported on Tuesday.
"Among the new equipment is the digital communication complex P-240I "Settler", designed to organize a communication system between control points in the field at a range of at least 40 kilometers, mobile digital radio relay communication stations R-419L and command and staff vehicles R-149AKSH-1," the press service of the district reported.
In addition, the 201st base received a mobile satellite communication station R-441-OV, designed to organize long-range multi-channel radio communications and alerts using repeaters on artificial Earth satellites.
The CVO clarified that the station has a more secure signal from listening and allows you to quickly deploy digital broadband wireless access networks in any conditions of the Central Asian region.
Earlier, the commander of the Central Military District, Alexander Lapin, reported that more than 70 units of weapons and military equipment will be delivered to Russian military bases stationed in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan in 2022.
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 in 2021 (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation), the Russian military reported on strengthening the base in Tajikistan with new weapons. So, on December 6, 2021, the Russian 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"The battalion of modern tanks, which has arrived to replace outdated models of equipment, will significantly increase the combat capabilities of the tank unit due to improved maneuverability and armor protection of the crew,"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.
In addition, the commander of the Central Military District, Alexander Lapin, reported in 2021 that three motorized rifle battalions of the 201st base were completely re-equipped with modern military equipment - BMP-2M and BTR-82A. Its anti-aircraft units received new and all-weather "Willow" complexes.
"The Kornet anti-tank guided missile systems, ASVK-M Kord sniper rifles, AK-12 assault rifles, extended-range and power rocket infantry flamethrowers and equipment of logistics and technical support services have also arrived at the base," Lapin said in November 2021.
