In anticipation of #Zapad2021 new mine laying hardware was employed at Mulino by the 1st Ind.Gds. Engineer Sapper Bde a few of days ago: ISDM Zemledeliye & reportedly UMZ-K Klesh-G -both on trial. All under the Gerasimov's watchful eye. Note Mi-8MTV-5-1 fitted w/ VSM-1 mine layer

Not impressed. N.Fleet: 33 subs seems too high,23 fighter aircraft- ok if w/out MiG-31BMs- but think they should’ve been included. Armed forces:1400 fighters-ridiculously high (even if they mean all tactical combat FW);400 combat RW- perhaps if only Mi-24/35M/28 & Ka-52- but why?

The Finnish Defense Forces released an intelligence review for 2021, including this infographic with the military forces in the Baltic and Nordic regions. They estimate that Russia has 900k active servicemen and a ~20 brigade strength in Western Russia. puolustusvoimat.fi/documents/1948…
