Guards of State Facilities in Russia Might Get Machine Guns from Rosgvardia, According to a New Directive
It looks like state facility guards in Russia could be getting their hands on some serious firepower, according to a recent report in Parliamentary Newspaper. Word on the street is that they might receive machine guns from Rosgvardia, as per a directive from the service's director, Victor Zolotov.
Rosgvardia has updated its directive regarding the types of weapons, ammo, and supply norms for their special units, "Oхrana," who are tasked with securing important state facilities. The modified document broadens the definition of handheld small arms for these guards, including submachine guns and machine guns. This move is believed to be a response to new threats like drones carrying explosives.
RBC Group talked about a demonstration by Rosgvardia back in May, where they showcased thwarting a potential terrorist attack on a military facility in the Ryazan region. Supposedly, the terrorist was caught with two drones and weapons.
Speaking of innovative strategies, the quantity of ammo seems to be increasing too. The new version of the document increases the "non-depletable reserve" of machine guns already in use by "Oхrana." Previously, they had two boxes of 200-round belts, but now they'll also receive an extra three loaded magazines.
So, it seems like Rosgvardia is stepping up its game in response to emerging threats. But if you're thinking about drone attacks against long-range nuclear-capable bombers and early warning radar systems, well, the Russians have been there and done that. They're adapting by reducing the use of certain cruise missiles and relying more on drones and other strike tactics. And let's not forget about their ongoing efforts to upgrade their nuclear capabilities and conventional forces. But when it comes to specific changes to weapon supplies for state facility guards, things remain a bit vague.
State facility guards in Russia could potentially be armed with machine guns from Rosgvardia, as a response to new threats such as drone attacks carrying explosives, according to a recent directive. This shift in weapon supply form part of the broader context of the ongoing general news, politics, and war-and-conflicts landscape, as the Russian government continues to adapt and strengthen its defense capabilities in various ways.
