While Russia’s intervention in Ukraine continued on February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared a partial military mobilization. Visiting the Ryazan military training ground of the Western Military District, Putin examined the training given to the soldiers on-site and received information from the commanders. In addition, Putin shot with the Soviet Union-made semi-automatic long-range sniper rifle Kanas (Dragunov).
REVIEWED THE TRAINING OF SOLDIERS
Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the Ryazan military training ground of the Western Military District with Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu, following the announcement of partial mobilization on September 21, which envisages the enlistment of 300,000 people. Putin examined the training given to the soldiers on the spot and received information from the commanders. Putin also examined the quality of camouflage, protection and boots given to soldiers.
FIRED WITH HIS SNIPER RIFLE
Advancing to the point where snipers were trained with the commanders, Putin shot with the Soviet Union-made semi-automatic long-range sniper rifle Kanas (Dragunov).
On the other hand, Putin said last week that 222,000 reserve soldiers have been recruited into the army so far and that the process will be completed within 2 weeks. In the capital Moscow, on October 17, it was announced that the mobilization process had ended.
