Where is the Telemb's test site?

Even on unpretentious popular prints, ancient knights and knights are depicted with a shield in their hands. Where without it? Any textbook warrior of the past had a shield as an obligatory subject of defense. He also had a sword (club, club). Full set of a full warrior. These "cartoon" images evoke tenderness. How long ago it was. But in ancient times, military equipment items were relevant and cost fabulously expensive.

Times change. Now only children use shields and swords, imagining themselves knights fighting on medieval lists ... Although not. Shield of the shield is different.

The shield is outlandish, "overseas"

At the end of the 1940s (according to various sources in 1948-1949), two major powers acquired new shields and swords - nuclear ones, strange for the rest of the world. The US and Soviet troops have replenished their arsenals and "powder bombs" with nuclear weapons.

A new era of rearmament, confrontation and a crazy race began. In the early 50's of the last century this was not so obvious. Over time, other major figures of the world order, countries that did not want to lag behind militarized colossi in their military development, were involved in this process.

The most remarkable thing about modern nuclear weapons is that, together with the attacker, it has one more important meaning - restraining. Understanding the fact of the unpredictability of the consequences of events under any scenario, the chaotic choice of a soulless atom, the inevitable doom, allows the mind to keep it and not let the dangerous genie out of the bottle, even if you really want to. So far, only threats, waving nuclear blades across the ocean. Thank God.

For those who do not know. There is a conditional "nuclear club" of the planet. Among the states that are legitimate in the field of international law are Russia, America, France, England and China. The list does not end here. To illegitimate are ranked India, North Korea, Pakistan. This is if you refer to official sources. It is supposed (by ordinary inhabitants, the secret services, most likely, they know for certain) that Israel also has a nuclear "club."

Not too much? It only seems so. Do not forget that a number of countries refused to carry out further developments. But how to know what will happen tomorrow? Get the drawings from under the cloth and brush off the dust from them - it's a matter of minutes. The threat of a nuclear flare is constantly present.

Russia's nuclear shield

The main key provision of the modern nuclear doctrine of Russia is the right to use the appropriate weapons as retaliatory measures, and nothing else.

In other words: "Dear Adolfs and Bonapartes, Wilhelm and Frederick, Ahmed III and Ahmed II, Georgie and Donald! Do you want to visit? Welcome! We only hand over the swords in the wardrobe, to avoid, whether it is not enough ... "

The vast expanses of the Russian land are securely covered by an invisible nuclear dome. Rocket complexes, strategic aviation and navy, tactical weapons with nuclear components can tickle nerves to anyone, without exaggeration. The invisible fist can reach anywhere on the planet. For this, you do not even need to perform extra gestures.

Recent events, when Russian missiles showed their capabilities to Islamic warriors-criminals of the pseudo-state IGIL, is evidence of this. Little did not seem, and even now it does not seem so. The shake was noble. Even loud Western politicians stopped their dances for a while, concentrated, straightened their backs straight and sat straight in their chairs, without fidgeting. It is a pity that not for long.

But this is understandable, everything is like in nature. The noblewoman wants a bone on the chain, and even a sugar one. What does she do to get the coveted delicacy? Correctly. He makes terrible sounds and angrily rotates his eyes. Lai it's called. A sign of devotional service to the master. The guarantee of obtaining goodies. People from politics also need to feed and feed their families.

How not to remember the good Soviet cartoon about the cat Leopold? Guys let's be friends! To test Russia for strength is a tedious task. Patience "bear" is huge, but the measure is everything. Do not wake yourself until it's quiet. The Russian peasant sows, sows, sings songs, thinks about himself. Good for him. Pass by, do not interfere with work. Eh, nothing is learned from the lessons of the history of our Western colleagues.

Hard in teaching, easy in battle

The legendary words of the Russian commander are very accurate and fair. The exercises of the army in Russia are given great attention. For a long time, the Soviet maneuvers have gone into oblivion, when everything was smooth, according to the pattern, planned and timely. The forthcoming exercises were known long and in detail. The modern upsurge in alarm is sudden and impressive with its territorial scope. Learn, so learn. Why bother with trifles?

Most of the ranges of the Russian Armed Forces are located far from crowded places, in the outback. One of them will be discussed later. This is the Telemb's test site.

Remoteness of polygons from external views is a characteristic feature that distinguishes our army from the forces of Western, for example, the same NATO bloc. These dashing guys are all for show, with bravado. As in the "demes" of the Soviet army. Combat color, loud slogans, pompous generals. Straight "comic shelves" of the times of Peter the Great. Peacock feathers are not enough. In the ancient tribes of the Indians it was believed that combat coloring would frighten the animal. Are you joking? What difference does it make to a lion or a bear, what color is the dinner or breakfast before dinner? What this army in theatrical productions is already familiar to the whole planet.

Samopiar and krivlyaniya at a higher price than proficiency

However, what she is in battle, is also known. Poor official representatives of the mighty American army! How can they sometimes feel sorry, comfort. Every day they are literally torn to pieces by the world press by endless questions about the next fact of "blunders," miscalculations and oversights, mistakes and sacrifices. The end and the edge are not visible to unskillful, often, absurd excuses. Here already, the ideological machine can not cope. It slips and it will fall apart. And it will certainly fall apart, you do not have to go to your grandmother.

In Russia, this business is more modest, in a gray way. Caught artillery in the wilderness of the boundless taiga, shot - and home. You can not see it and can not hear it, it does not bother anyone, the population does not worry. A couple of woodpeckers fall from the branches from the roar, so it's not deadly, they'll recover. For example, as on the military range of Telemb, Located at a considerable distance, in tens of kilometers, from large settlements.

The old wisdom - who wants and can do something, will not scream, he will just do it. A clear example - when the waters of the Barents Sea parted, the submarine rose and lit the Igilov braziers with their "calibers". Yes, for sure, the fireballs broke out instantly. And the sailors went to the galley to refresh themselves, they do not have to dances and howls, they need to continue to serve.

However, let us return to the topic - the Telemb range.

Telembino winter hut

The history of this place is ancient. He was chosen by the founder of the Beketians in the distant 1653. Five years later the governor Pashkov erected a prison. The military garrison at that time was not weak. More than 130 yards, armed Cossacks, all grown-up. The main point of the ancient squad was engaged only in collecting yasak from the natives. Later, deposits of minerals were discovered, mining mines and production shops were formed. But not about them is our narrative. It's about the fact that the place is ancient, marked by a historical hand.

Transbaikalia. Its borders cover the Amur Region, Irkutsk, Yakutia and Buryatia, are in contact with Mongolia and China. Surprisingly beautiful natural area in the place where the Telmba landfill is located.

Rocket Range

The town is in Buryatia. Based on the meager information (for quite understandable reasons) official sources, we can assume that the polygon is located in the taiga area of the Chita region, but bears the name of the village of the same name, which is in relative proximity. But thankless work to build guesses, based on reliable information. It is easier to ask the local population. Only the question - why such detailed knowledge? Not otherwise than to expand the horizon? No, no, nothing personal, just someone can have such trivial questions. And it is good, if the usual interlocutor, but not representatives of foreign intelligence services.

The village of Telemb (Eravanian region), Buryatia. 90 km to Chita, 25 km to the Telmba test site. Why the polygon is there is a mystery from the military. We will not even try to try to solve it. It is worth saying that the area itself is surprising. There are no plains, there are passes that impede traffic, one of them is a scourge for motorists, especially ice.

An interesting feature relates to local time. In the village of Telemba +5 (Irkutsk) to Moscow, at the testing range - +6 (Chita).

Closest to The Telemba The motorway is P 436 (Chita - Ulan-Ude, via Romanovka).

This polygon deserves a separate narrative by chance. It is a huge arena, specially equipped for large-scale military exercises, containing tens of thousands of units of manpower, not including equipment, weapons, complexes, installations and other inalienable components.

Almost every month, various large-scale exercises are conducted at the Telemba training ground. There are often cases when several times a month. As for the shooting of individual units, this is the usual schedule.

Year 2017

Large-scale exercise at the Telemba test site (2017) Already committed in the set. About two of them worth mentioning in more detail.

March. The large drill of the air defense troops of the Eastern District. According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the maximum possible number of different types of air defense systems was involved:

• C-400;
• C-300;
• "Tor-M2U";
• "Wasp";
• "Arrow-10";
• "Pantsir-S" ZRPK;
• "Shilka" - self-propelled antiaircraft guns;
• Portable air defense systems "Igla".

The aim pursued: the development of methods for early detection, identification and tracking, followed by the destruction of high-speed targets - small-sized missiles.

More than 8 thousand people took part in the exercises, 1000 units. Equipment, 120 of which are aircraft.

In these exercises, the Telemba range (the Republic of Buryatia) took part along with four more test sites located in the Amur Region, Sakhalin and Primorye. The scale is impressive.

Who will forget the old, that ...

It is also impressive that during the exercises, new and old weapons are used. It's wise. You do not need to forget about the proven old. A clear example of modernity - militiamen from the People's Republic of Hungary and the People's Republic of Latvia had to "comb" the Ukrainian army almost on bulldozers and tractors, until they got hold of the captured equipment. To admit, it's rubbish too, because the stocks left by the Soviet Union were sold and impregnated by Ukrainian soldiers. What has become a non-liquid for sale, then remains. Trash, in a word, which only Poroshenko can cause a tear of emotion. But in skillful hands and a shovel shoots.

Telembo, April 2017

Successfully conducted exercises to repel a massive air strike of a conventional enemy. The Air Force and Air Defense of the Southern Military District took part. How do you distance? It involved about 1000 people, 350 units. Equipment (weapons), Su-30 combat aircraft of various modifications, Su-27SM3, Su-34 helicopters, "Terminator" helicopters Mi-8AMTSH, Mi-8MTPR-1, complexes with-300PM, "Pantsir-S" ZRPK.

Numbers can be added further. The teachings held in 2017 are already real many. The purpose of the topic of this article is somewhat different.

You can sleep peacefully

The Telmba landfill in 2017 is especially popular with the military, which only pleases. Since such intensive training is taking place, it means that there is also the certainty that someone constantly cares about reliable locks of the state's heavenly gates, you can safely fall asleep after a hard working day. Do not worry that they will enter "dirty friends" without knocking and in dirty shoes-russophobes and admirers over our reserves of natural resources and vast territories.

You can get some idea of what the Telembo range is. The photos, laid out in the article, make it possible to understand that the complexes are not haunted by transatlantic "well-wishers".
