The composition of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federationthere are various troops (rocket, ground, aerospace, etc.), and together they are an organization to organize the defense of the country. Their main task is to repel aggression and protect the territorial integrity of the state, but lately the tasks have changed a little.
Today, the tasks of the personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can be divided into 4 areas:
At the lessons OBZH the composition of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is studied in grades 10-11. Therefore, this information should be known to all citizens of the Russian Federation.
The modern composition of the Russian Armed ForcesFederation owes history. It was formed depending on possible acts of aggression against the state. The most significant stage in the history of the development of the army is the victory on the Kulikovo Field (1380), near Poltava (1709) and, of course, in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.
The standing army in Russia was founded under Ivan.Grozny. It was he who began to create troops with centralized control and supply. In the years 1862-1874, the reform was introduced with the introduction of all-conscription conscription, the principles of leadership were also changed, technical re-equipment was carried out. However, after the revolution in 1917, the army was gone. Instead, the Red Army was formed, and then the USSR Armed Forces, which were divided into 3 types: land, air force and fleet.
Today, the composition of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation has changed slightly, but the basic core remains the same.
This species is the most numerous.It was created to be present on land and, by and large, ground forces are the most important element of the army. It is impossible to capture and hold the territory without this kind of troops, repel the invasion of the landing, etc. It was for these purposes that such units were created. In turn, they are divided into the following types:
The largest personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation includes ground forces. This includes all types of military units listed above.
Tank (armored) troops. They represent the main striking force on earth and are an extremely powerful tool for solving problems of primary importance.
Мотострелковые войска – подразделения с большой the number of the composition and technology. Their purpose is the independent conduct of hostilities over a large territory, although they may also act as support as part of other arms.
Artillery and missile units always consist of formations, parts of tactical missiles, artillery.
Air defense - air defense troops,providing protection of ground units and the rear against attacks from aircraft and other means of attack from the air. Special services perform highly specialized functions.
Until 1997, there were air forces, butThe presidential decree of July 16, 1997 obliged to create a new type of Armed Forces. Since that time, the composition of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation has somewhat changed: the Air Force and the space defense units merged. Thus was formed the aerospace forces.
They are engaged in aerospace reconnaissancethe situation, determining the probable start of an air or missile attack and notifying the military and government authorities about it. It goes without saying that the Russian Aerospace Forces are intended to, among other things, repel aggression from the air or from space, even if necessary with the use of nuclear weapons.
Modern Russian videoconferencing include:
For each kind of troops has its own range of tasks. Air Forces, for example, repel aggression in the air, hit enemy targets and troops using conventional and nuclear weapons.
Космические войска наблюдают за объектами в space and identify threats to Russia from airless space. If necessary, they can fend off possible strikes. Also, space forces are charged with launching spacecraft (satellites) into the Earth’s orbit and their control.
The Navy is designed to protect the state from the sea and ocean, to protect the interests of the country in the sea areas. Navy consists of:
The composition and organization of the Armed Forces of the RussianThe federations also include rocket troops, which may contain a land, air, water component. Rocket Forces (RVSN) are primarily intended to destroy the means of nuclear attack, as well as enemy groups. In particular, the main objectives of the strategic missile forces are the military bases of the enemy, industrial facilities, large groups, the control system, infrastructure facilities, etc.
Основное и важное свойство РВСН – возможность Accurately strike a nuclear weapon at great distances (ideally, anywhere in the world) and at the same time at all important strategic targets. They are also designed to create favorable conditions for other arms of the armed forces. If we talk about the organization of the Strategic Missile Forces, they consist of units that are armed with medium-range missiles and parts with intercontinental missiles.
The very first part was formed July 15, 1946of the year. Already in 1947, the successful first test launch of a guided R-1 (ballistic) rocket was made. By 1955, there were already several units that had long-range missiles. But literally in 2 years they conducted an intercontinental test, with several steps. It is noteworthy that she was the first in the world. After testing an intercontinental missile, it became possible to create a new branch of service, a strategic one. This logical step followed, and in 1960 another type of Armed Forces was organized - the Strategic Missile Forces.
Мы уже говорили про ВКС, однако такой род войск, as long-range aviation, we have not yet affected. He deserves a separate chapter. The structure and composition of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation includes strategic bombers. It is noteworthy that only two countries of the world have them - the United States and Russia. Together with intercontinental missiles and submarine rocket carriers, strategic bombers are part of the nuclear triad and are primarily responsible for the security of the state.
The composition and tasks of the Armed Forces of the RussianThe federation, in particular, long-range aviation, consists in the bombing of important military-industrial facilities in the enemy's rear, the destruction of its infrastructure and large concentrations of troops and military bases. The objectives of these aircraft are power plants, factories, bridges, and entire cities.
These planes are called strategicbombers because of the ability to make intercontinental flights and use nuclear weapons. Some types of aircraft may use it, but are unable to make intercontinental flights. They are called long-range bombers.
Speaking of long-range aviation, it is impossible not to mentionmissile carrier TU-160 with variable geometry of the wing. In history, it is the largest, most powerful and heaviest supersonic aircraft. Its feature is the swept wing. Among the existing strategic bombers, he has the largest take-off weight and combat load. Pilots gave him the nickname - "White Swan".
Самолет способен нести до 40 тонн вооружения, в including various types of guided missiles, free-fall bombs and nuclear weapons. The bombs of the White Swan are the tacit name for “second-order weapons,” that is, it is intended to destroy targets that have been preserved after a missile strike. His huge arsenal is capable of carrying the TU-160 aircraft, which is why its strategic status is fully justified.
In total, the composition of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation includes 76 such bombers. But this information is constantly changing due to the cancellation of old and receiving new aircraft.
We have described the main points concerningthe designation and composition of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, but in reality the armed forces are an extremely complex structure that is understood from the inside only by specialists directly related to it.
